Yarmouth, ME - July 11, 2003 -- Kepware Technologies, a leading worldwide supplier of OPC server technology, announces today the release of their new ODBC Client Driver, providing single-point access to multiple ODBC data sources via ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity). The ODBC Client Driver is capable of communicating with any application that supports the standard ODBC data source format. ODBC makes it possible to gather any data from any application, regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is handling the data. Using the power and speed of OPC, KEPServerEX is able to offer ODBC data to any OPC/DDE enabled client. Data integrity is insured with our extensive error handling.
Of course, the driver is loaded with features including: local and remote communications via OPC and NetDDE, simultaneous read and write access to multiple ODBC compliant databases, read and write to SQL engines, multiple access methods such as fixed/dynamic table and queries, and auto tag generation based on tables, queries and stored procedures from your ODBC data source just to name a few.Mark Hensley, President of Kepware, states, "Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a widely accepted application programming interface (API) for database access, bundling this technology with OPC, now allows OPC compliant applications to easily gather this data just as easily as data is accessed now from industrial controllers. The simple and intuitive interface allows users to easily get their data.
The ODBC driver continues Kepware's goal of providing reliable cost effective access to process data regardless of the source."
