MySQL Connector/ODBC, once known as MyODBC, is computer software from Oracle Corporation. It is an ODBC interface and allows programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database.
ODBC drivers exist for most DBMSs, including Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server (but not for the Compact aka CE edition), Mimer SQL, Sybase ASE, SAP HANA [28] [29] and IBM Db2. Because different technologies have different capabilities, most ODBC drivers do not implement all functionality defined in the ODBC standard.
These include MySQL Connector/Net for .NET/CLI Languages, [127] and the JDBC driver for Java. [128] In addition, an ODBC interface called MySQL Connector/ODBC allows additional programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database, such as ASP or ColdFusion.
Type 1 that calls native code of the locally available ODBC driver. (Note: In JDBC 4.2, JDBC-ODBC bridge has been removed [15]) Type 2 that calls database vendor native library on a client side. This code then talks to database over the network. Type 3, the pure-java driver that talks with the server-side middleware that then talks to the database.
The ODBC driver needs to be installed on the client machine. Not suitable for applets, because the ODBC driver needs to be installed on the client. Specific ODBC drivers are not always available on all platforms; hence, portability of this driver is limited. No support from JDK 1.8 (Java 8).
Embarcadero supplies drivers for many databases, including Oracle, Firebird, InterBase, IBM Db2, Informix, SQL Server, MySQL and ODBC. Additional drivers are available from third parties. Starting with Delphi 2007 (dbExpress 4 generation) a tracing driver is included as well which allows for logging all statements sent to the database.
Connectivity options: Direct client/server using MySQL API (SSL supported), HTTP/HTTPS tunneling, SSH tunneling; Wizard-driven tool for import of data from ODBC-databases; Backup Tool for performing unattended backups. Backups may be compressed and optionally stored as a file-per-table as well as identified with a timestamp.
The unixODBC project was first started in the early months of 1999 (by Peter Harvey) and was created as at that time the developers of iODBC (another open source ODBC implementation) were not then willing to LGPL the code, expand the API to include the current ODBC 3 API specification, and did not consider the addition of GUI based configuration tools worthwhile. iODBC now has these parts ...
