ODBC Connection in IBM SPSS Statistics with Devart ODBC Drivers

IBM SPSS Statistics is a powerful set of statistical tools for data analysis in social science, health, education, business, and many other fields. It's known for its easy-to-use point-and-click graphical user interface (GUI). SPSS can generate charts, graphs, and plots based on collected data. Also, it performs predictive modeling using techniques such as regression, decision trees, and clustering. As IBM SPSS Statistics combines ease of use with powerful analytical capabilities, it's suitable for both beginners and experienced users. It helps manage, analyze, and visualize data for informed decision-making across various sectors.

Key Features

Direct mode

Native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services from IBM SPSS Statistics using an ODBC driver. No need to use client software to establish an IBM SPSS Statistics 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

Full support and mapping of data source-specific SQL data types to the standard ODBC data types. Access diverse data stores from IBM SPSS Statistics through a unified interface with exceptional speed. You can create custom mappings between data source fields and ODBC data types.

ODBC Driver features for IBM SPSS Statistics

Secure connection

Devart ODBC drivers use SSL / SSH and HTTPS tunneling to protect user data as it flows between a remote server and IBM SPSS Statistics 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 IBM SPSS Statistics: 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.

How to connect IBM SPSS Statistics to ODBC data source and access data in 3 steps

01. In the IBM SPSS Statistics tool, click New Database Query and select the pre-configured DSN.

02. On the Available Tables tab, select the table you want to retrieve records from, click the arrow button, and click Next.

03. To access and review the requested data, go to the Data View tab, where you can explore and analyze the information.

Why pick Devart ODBC Drivers for importing data to IBM SPSS Statistics?

Fully Unicode-compliant ODBC drivers

Unicode is the universal standard for encoding characters in most languages. Our ODBC drivers provide a Unicode-compliant way to work with strings and characters in databases: they are capable of mapping Unicode function calls and string data types to ANSI encoding.

All major versions of data stores are supported

Our ODBC drivers can be used to interact and perform SQL CRUD operations on popular traditional databases and cloud services from IBM SPSS Statistics, such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, or Mailchimp.

Regular feature update rollouts and timely bug fixes

Regular feature updates and timely bug fixes

We frequently release new versions of ODBC drivers with new capabilities or enhancements for already existing features. Changes and new features are added to the roadmap based on customer feedback. Bug fixes and minor improvements are released as nightly builds to resolve issues in a timely fashion.

Strict compliance with Microsoft ODBC 3.51 Specification

Our ODBC drivers provide full support for the standard Open Database Connectivity API functions and data types. ODBC interface allows IBM SPSS Statistics to connect to ODBC databases using the SQL language. Additionally, we have designed Advanced Connection String parameters that implement different types of behavior.

Exceptional SQL query performance and bulk updates

Our ODBC drivers allow you to perform bulk record update in IBM SPSS Statistics in a single update statement while maintaining decent update speed. When you need to update a table with a million of records, you can use a single update operation which significantly reduces execution time compared to row-by-row operations.
