HCL OneDB ODBC Driver features

HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver implements the Microsoft™ Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), Version 3.0 standard.

The HCL OneDB ODBC Driver product also provides the following features and functionality:
  • Data Source Name (DSN) migration
  • Driver Manager Replacement Module, which supports compatibility between ODBC 2.x applications and the ODBC driver, version 3.0.
  • Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), which is an environment that lets you develop, run, and manage scalable, component-based Internet and intranet server applications. MTS performs the following tasks:
    • Manages system resources, including processes, threads, and database connections, so that your application can scale to many simultaneous users
    • Manages server component creation, execution, and deletion
    • Automatically initiates and controls transactions to make your application reliable
    • Implements security so that unauthorized users cannot access your application
    • Provides tools for configuration, management, and deployment
      Important: If you want to use distributed transactions managed by MTS with the HCL OneDB ODBC Driver, you must have connection pooling enabled.
