ODBC Driver for xBase

Devart ODBC Driver for xBase is a high-performance connectivity tool with enterprise-level features for accessing FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, dBase, and other databases in DBF file formats from ODBC-compliant reporting, analytics, BI, and ETL tools on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, macOS, and Linux. Our ODBC driver fully supports standard ODBC API functions and data types and enables easy and secure access to live xBase data from anywhere.

Direct Connection

Our connector enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to FoxPro 2, Visual FoxPro, dBase (DBF), and other xBase databases, without involving any external libraries. A direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an ODBC application and xBase database. It also simplifies the deployment, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the ODBC driver for xBase.

Integration

The driver is compatible with third-party tools for data analysis, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, etc.

Platforms Variety

ODBC Driver for xBase can be used with 32-bit and 64-bit applications on both x32 and x64 platforms, so there is no need to additionally configure the driver, applications or environment.

Fully Unicode-Compliant Driver

With our fully Unicode-compliant driver, you can properly retrieve and modify any data in multilingual xBase databases, regardless of their character set: Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Chinese, etc., and in any language environment.

Features Overview:

Retrieval of Corrupted Data

ODBC driver for xBase provides options for ignoring corrupted data errors and metadata errors when opening a DBF table. Corrupted data is skipped, whereas the intact data is properly retrieved.

Advanced Data Conversion

We have implemented advanced Data Conversion mechanisms that provide bi-directional mapping between any xBase and ODBC data types.

Bulk Updates

Moreover, with our driver you can perform bulk updates to xBase database by combining SQL statements into batches, thus simplifying and speeding up large data modification to xBase.

xBase Compatibility

ODBC Driver for xBase supports:

FoxPro 2, Visual FoxPro
dBaseIII-dBase10
and other DBF file formats

ODBC Conformance

The driver provides full support for the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface, its functions, and data types. It offers advanced connection string parameters and allows any ODBC compliant desktop or web application to connect to xBase from various environments and platforms.
