DataFlex SQL Drivers

DataFlex applications can connect to other database formats by using a database driver. The Database Drivers in DataFlex 2021 (and Higher) are specifically designed to support Unicode and 64-bit.

DataFlex comes with several drivers that are accessible based on your license:

• DataFlex SQL Server Driver – This driver is used to access Microsoft SQL Server databases.
• DataFlex DB2 Driver – This driver is used to access IBM DB2 databases.
• DataFlex ODBC Driver – This driver can be used to access any SQL database that supports ODBC access. While the ODBC driver could be used to access SQL Server and DB2 databases (as they both support ODBC access), you will get the best results using the direct drivers.
