High-Performance Access to Multiple Databases without Multiple Drivers and Networking Products.
Through advanced compliance with MicrosoftÆs ODBC standard, STAR/ODBC offers robust functionality in working with remote databases, including support for updates, and deletes, outer joins, procedure calls, and advanced data types.
Two versions of the STAR/ODBC client are available, STAR/ODBC and STAR/ODBC FP, each of which provides different functionality, performance characteristics, and compatibility with HyperSTAR servers.
A comprehensive, end-to-end approach to database connectivity covers the ODBC driver manager and the client and server networking software - from client desktop to server platform.
Superior performance, even beyond that of many proprietary database ODBC drivers. STAR/ODBC FP features a unique high-performance design for query generation and data delivery, enabling STAR/ODBC FP to execute database queries and return results faster than other ODBC drivers. A simpler solution and easier implementation are achieved by using a single ODBC driver to provide access to multiple databases. Both STAR/ODBC clients greatly simplify installation and administration by removing the need for separate drivers for each DBMS product. It provides a single solution for heterogeneous environments.
Interoperability with STAR/C means that ODBC and C calls can be combined in the same program, providing a greater range of functionality than available with either product alone.
