DBxtra is a business intelligence (BI) and ad-hoc reporting tool for designing, generating, and deploying custom reports. The software allows users to build dashbords within a few clicks. The Report & Dashboard Designer delivered by DBxtra makes it easier to create projects, initiate database connections, and configure user-groups and user security. With this web reporting platform, it's possible to generate various report outputs simultaneously, including Data Grids, Pivot Grids, Printable Reports, and interactive Dashboards. DBxtra empowers to establish a direct connection to different databases such as MS Access, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Pervasive, DB2, Excel, and Text Files. Additionally, users can connect to any other database via ODBC or OLEDB.

Key Features

Direct mode

Get native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services from DBxtra using an ODBC driver. There is no need to use client software to establish a DBxtra ODBC connection and fetch your sales figures table from databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or cloud services such as Salesforce, QuickBooks, or Zoho CRM.

SQL data type mapping

Get full support and mapping of data source-specific SQL data types to the standard ODBC data types. Access diverse data stores from DBxtra through a unified interface with exceptional speed. Create custom mappings between data source fields and ODBC data types.

Secure connection

Devart ODBC Drivers use SSL / SSH and HTTPS tunneling to protect user data as it flows between a remote server and DBxtra over the Internet. Tunneling allows you to send communications securely between machines.

ANSI SQL-92 standard support for cloud services

Devart ODBC Drivers address one of the major challenges of retrieving data from email marketing, CRM, accounting and other cloud applications into DBxtra: their lack of adequate API support for SQL-92 standard SQL commands. Our Drivers are designed to get the most out of cloud service APIs.
