Simba has released a fully Unicode compliant SimbaEngine ODBC SDK 8.0.2 for the development of ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB or ADO.NET data connectivity to both SQL-enabled and non-SQL data stores.
The company claims that SimbaEngine ODBC SDK 8.0.2 includes a number of enhancements to client/server robustness for implementation of performance oriented, scalable ODBC drivers and JDBC drivers within a web services data environment.
Simba said that the ODBC SDK 8.0.2 also includes Simba’s new Java Data Store Interface (DSI) and allows users to implement a data driver written entirely in Java and is available for data driver development on Windows, UNIX, Linux or Mac platforms.
In addition, Java and C++ code bases include Simba’s sample data drivers, comprehensive development and test tools, and extensive documentation to enable quick and easy, custom ODBC data driver development in as little as five days.
According to Simba, the SimbaEngine ODBC SDK supports the ODBC 3.52 specification, providing compatibility with the newest and most popular business intelligence applications. The data drivers built with the SDK are capable of supporting multi-language data and applications and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit data driver development with the added ability to mix-and-match 32-bit and 64-bit client and server components.
Amyn Rajan, CEO of Simba, said: "SimbaEngine ODBC SDK 8.0.2 is the most scalable, performance-oriented and complete toolkit available for building ODBC drivers, JDBC drivers, OLE DB drivers and ADO.NET data providers for SQL-enabled and non-SQL data sources.
"This latest release focuses heavily on enhancements to build even more robust data connectivity for cloud computing or web services-oriented architectures – whether that be in Java or more traditionally C++."
