With support for all major platforms and databases including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase and Informix, DataDirect Connect for ODBC version 6.0 extends its wire protocol design to the PostgreSQL and Greenplum databases providing open source users with database connectivity.

With the DataDirect Bulk Load functionality found in DataDirect Connect for ODBC version 6.0 software, the company said that developers can:

- Load bulk data into a database through ODBC

- Export data from one database and import it into another

- Perform a variety of bulk operations without having to use or deploy load tools from the database vendor

The DataDirect Application Failover features in DataDirect Connect for ODBC version 6.0 offer enterprise quality failover with no application changes. The implementation works with or without expensive data replication or clustering technologies from database vendors to deliver application reliability and uptime and help independent software vendors (ISVs) and corporate IT departments enhance the application user experience.

"Leading software vendors and corporate IT departments use the DataDirect Connect family of drivers to boost product performance and help customers realize advanced functionality out-of-the-box with no application code changes required," said John Goodson, VP and general manager for DataDirect Technologies. "During these fiscally challenging times the best-in-class data access and developer features found in the DataDirect Connect for ODBC version 6.0 are certain to help organizations improve programmer productivity, bring products to market faster and reduce customer support burdens."

Other features found in DataDirect Connect for ODBC version 6.0 include advanced connection pooling inside each driver vs. the driver manager. Unlike other ODBC connection pooling tools available, DataDirect Technologies said its implementation requires no application code changes to use the feature and provides a variety of options for monitoring, managing and tuning the pool itself, the company noted in a release.
