SimbaEngine ODBC SDK is the industry's leading ODBC SDK and JDBC SDK, chosen by the world's leading companies for its performance, extensibility and utmost compatibility. Downloading SimbaEngine ODBC SDK from the Web and installing it is a simple process. Windows users will be led through an InstallShield installer, while UNIX users are provided with a single tar file. In minutes, the installation of SimbaEngine ODBC SDK is complete.
SimbaEngine ODBC SDK supports a wide variety of implementations to meet your project/system requirements.
The One-Tier approach enables simplicity, by allowing you to run the resulting SimbaEngine ODBC driver on the same machine as your reporting applications and data store. JDBC is also supported in this configuration with the use of SimbaServer.
The Two-Tier approach allows for performance optimization by placing SimbaEngine and the database on a seperate server from the Client running the reporting applications. In this implementation, the connection between the Client and the Server is made via standard TCP/IP for optimal speed, flexibility and efficiency.
The Three-Tier approach allows even greater performance optimization and flexibility by placing SimbaEngine on a middle tier server.
