Easysoft XML-ODBC Server 1.1.0

The Easysoft XML-ODBC Server allows client applications to access databases for which you have an ODBC driver by using XML requests over TCP/IP. Supported databases include Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, InterBase and IBM DB2.

The Easysoft XML-ODBC Server listens on a port for XML requests from clients which specify an ODBC data source to connect to, the username and password for the target database and the SQL to execute. If the SQL generates a result set, it is also returned to the client in XML.

Client applications can be developed in any language and for any device with TCP/IP support, including PDAs and other wireless systems.

The Easysoft XML-ODBC Server is a multithreaded, high performance service available on Windows, Linux and major Unix platforms. In addition, the Easysoft XML-ODBC Server:
Is compatible with ODBC 2�3.51 drivers.
Is compatible with unixODBC, the open source ODBC Driver Manager, which is included with the distribution on non-Windows platforms.
Does not require additional client software. TCP/IP networking and a small amount of socket code in any language are all that is required.
Does not have to be installed on the database server. The target database can be hosted on the same server as the Easysoft XML-ODBC Server or on any remote platform accessible with ODBC.
Lets you update, insert or query local and remote ODBC data sources by using simple XML requests.
