Enterprise (Multi-Tier) edition. First the server components, the Request Broker and the database agent, which run where they can reach your database: choose their operating system, its version, your database version and a driver version.
Then the client components, which run where your applications do and can use another operating system: choose ODBC or JDBC, an operating system and its version.

One standard.
Every database.
Every era of apps.
High-performance, secure ODBC and JDBC connectivity for DBMS-independent applications and services — from BI tools, spreadsheets, and lakehouses to MCP servers and AI agent frameworks. The open standards that powered three decades of data access now power the age of AI.
Windows · macOS · Linux — one driver family across all platforms
What the animation shows
- One standard. Every database. Every era of apps. High-performance, secure ODBC and JDBC connectivity for DBMS-independent applications and services.
- One driver family, every major DBMS. Each database gets its own ODBC and JDBC driver; any ODBC- or JDBC-accessible source is in reach through the bridge drivers.
- Platform independent. Windows, macOS and Linux: one driver family across all platforms.
- Open standards-based. ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET and OLE DB: the standards that outlived every platform shift.
- Every era of apps, the same drivers. From Tableau to AI agents: same drivers, same standards, same security model.
- Bridge drivers reach what has no ODBC driver. Lakehouses publish JDBC drivers; the ODBC-to-JDBC bridge puts them within reach of ODBC apps and BI tools.
- Secure, by policy. Attribute-based access control and SSL/TLS apply to every consumer, from a spreadsheet to an AI agent.
- Administration in natural language. Describe the change in plain words; an AI agent with a skill configures the drivers for you. The agent updates the rule book: it changes the Request Broker rule book on your behalf and confirms back to you.
- Standards-based connectivity, from BI to AI. Connect your existing databases, lakehouses and AI agents through one driver family, on Windows, macOS and Linux.

One driver family, every major DBMS#
Each database gets its own ODBC and JDBC driver, built and supported by OpenLink — with Lite (Single-Tier) and Enterprise (Multi-Tier) editions for every one.
Bridge drivers#
Enhance the security, open standards compatibility, and deployment flexibility of your existing connector installations with our advanced ODBC and JDBC bridge connectors.
ODBC-to-JDBC Bridge
ODBC applications and BI tools reach JDBC-accessible data sources through their JDBC drivers.

Built for your role#
OpenLink Data Access Drivers deliver tailored capabilities for every data professional.
Ship apps with dependable database connectivity
Build modern, high-performance, secure, and cross-platform DBMS independent applications, services, and AI Agents using existing open standards such as ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET.
Integrate without tight coupling
Connect AI agents, middleware, and applications, to databases through loosely coupled, standards-based interfaces that reduce system friction and technical debt.
Keep analytics aligned with source truth
Ensure BI and analytics tools utilize DBMS independent access data consistently and directly from authoritative systems for dependable outcomes.
Eliminate silos through standardized access
Unify data access across platforms using open data access standards that decouple applications from underlying data stores.
Turn DBMS siloed data into knowledge graph pipelines
Enable access to systems of record data for transformation into semantically harmonized knowledge graphs.
Make governed access the default
Enforce consistent, policy-driven data access across systems enabled by fine-grained, attributed based access controls.
De-risk connectivity decisions
Select vendor-neutral, standards-compliant data access that avoids vendor lock-in and stands up to enterprise due diligence.
Control access without limiting interoperability
Apply auditable, standards-aligned controls to database connectivity across environments without creating new silos.
Bridge fragmented research ecosystems
Connect applications, repositories, and databases using stable, standards-based access across institutional and domain boundaries.
The standards that outlived every platform shift#
Client-server, the web, the cloud, and now AI — each wave replaced the applications, but not the interface they use to reach data. ODBC and JDBC remain the common language between apps and databases, which is why the newest AI clients speak them too.
BI tools and desktop productivity
Tableau, Power BI, Excel, and every ODBC-aware analytics tool connect to any supported database through one driver family — with the scrollable cursors and high-throughput fetch paths that interactive dashboards and pivot tables demand.
Custom applications and lakehouses
DBMS-independent applications, services, and ETL pipelines — written once against ODBC, JDBC, or ADO.NET — run unchanged against Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Informix, Ingres, Progress OpenEdge, and 20+ other systems.
MCP servers and AI agent frameworks
MCP servers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Python DBAPI tool servers reach enterprise data the same way BI tools always have — through ODBC and JDBC. The same drivers, the same security model, no new integration layer to build or trust.
Same drivers. Same standards. Same security model. From spreadsheets to AI agents.
Connectivity that compounds, not connectivity you rebuild#
Broad ODBC- and JDBC-compliant application support
Handle application-specific idiosyncrasies effortlessly, so your connectors work consistently across a wide range of database clients and tools.
Broad operating system support
Seamlessly connect across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, ensuring your applications run reliably no matter the platform.
Easy integration
Our solutions slide effortlessly into your existing systems, connecting tools and data sources without the usual headaches or complexity.
Enhanced security architecture
Fine-grained, attribute-based access control plus end-to-end SSL/TLS encryption apply uniformly to every consumer — a spreadsheet, a BI dashboard, or an AI agent. New client types don’t create new security review cycles.
Preserve IT investments
The databases you run today become instantly reachable by the newest tools — no migration, no ETL project, no forced upgrade. Open standards mean the data-access layer you installed in one era keeps paying off in the next.
Reduce development costs
Applications written against ODBC, JDBC, or ADO.NET are portable across every supported database. Swap Oracle for PostgreSQL, add a lakehouse, consolidate systems — the application code doesn’t change, and neither does the AI tooling built on top of it.
Secure and controlled access
Apply connection pooling and end-to-end SSL/TLS encryption for complete peace of mind.
Sophisticated functionality
Scrollable cursors, multiple active result sets (MARS), database mirroring, and deferred fetching serve interactive dashboards and sustained agentic query loops alike.
Unmatched performance
Engineered for speed, our connectors minimize latency and provide the high-throughput performance your applications demand.
