ODBC Driver for Salesforce

A high-performance connectivity tool with enterprise level functionality that can access Salesforce from ODBC-compatible reporting, analysis, BI, and ETL tools on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Our ODBC driver fully supports standard ODBC API functions and data types, and allows easy access to real-time Salesforce data from anywhere.

Connecting to Salesforce

Our connectivity solution enables various ODBC-enabled applications to directly connect to Salesforce through HTTPS. If you cannot directly access Salesforce through HTTPS, you can choose to establish a connection through a proxy server.

Extended SQL syntax

Our ODBC driver provides unparalleled opportunities to use Salesforce objects like SQL tables. The extended SQL syntax allows you to use all SQL advantages in SQL-92 compatible SELECT statements:

• Complex connections
• condition
• Subquery
