Enhanced DataDirect® Drivers Offer Greater
Resource Efficiency
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a leading software provider
that enables enterprises to be operationally
responsive, made available the latest version of its JDBC drivers,
Progress® DataDirect Connect®for JDBC 5.0.
The standards-based, fully interoperable drivers enable organizations to
enhance modern data-driven Java applications by expanding their feature
set, performance, and scalability without making application code
changes.
Raymond Russo, Optum Development Manager at Impact Intelligence,
verified driver performance: "After considerable testing, we found that
the Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC driver was able to
insert a very large number of records into our database as quickly as
possible using the advanced Bulk Load feature. This feature increased
our time to transfer by 20 — 25 percent."
New features available in DataDirect
Connect for JDBC 5.0 drivers include:
-
New Database Support - Full support for Database.com and
Force.com applications.
-
Expanded Bulk Load Support - Increased performance and
flexibility of Progress DataDirect®
Bulk Load feature, including enhanced streaming in JDBC. Faster
bulk operation performance can be applied across an even wider range
of scenarios than ever before.
-
NTLM Support from UNIX and Linux to SQL Server - Support for
connecting to a SQL Server database instance using NTLM authentication
when connecting with the DataDirect Connect for JDBC SQL Server
driver from a UNIX or Linux platform.
-
Increased Breadth of Support - Progress continues to be a
leader in both the breadth and depth coverage of databases, database
features and application platforms. The DataDirect Connect for JDBC
5.0 drivers expand this coverage even further, delivering enterprise
quality JDBC access to even more application configurations including
JDBC Array, Struct and Object data types as well as Sybase data types
BIGDATETIME and BIGTIME.
"With the 5.0 release, users can move more data more efficiently because
the drivers have built-in, wire-level high-performing bulk load
capabilities which allow them to load data directly — and therefore more
quickly - into the database," said Jesse
Davis, director of DataDirect research and development at Progress
Software. "In a virtualized environment, performance and efficiency
allow applications to do more with less hardware, saving companies time
and money," said Davis.
