Create ODBC Connection in Omnis Studio with Devart ODBC Drivers

Omnis Studio is a cross-platform IDE for building mobile, web, and desktop applications, supporting deployment on both on-premises and cloud platforms. It offers a robust code editor, a debugger, a range of templates and wizards, diverse UI components, and built-in version control, making it a popular choice for both individual developers and teams.

The default capabilities of Omnis Studio include direct access to several major databases. The integration of the Devart ODBC Drivers enables developers to efficiently connect to a much more diverse array of databases and cloud data sources directly from the IDE interface.

Key Features

Direct mode

Native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services from Omnis Studio using Devart ODBC Drivers. No need to turn to client software to fetch your inventory table or a list of orders from popular data stores like Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and many other databases, as well as cloud services like Salesforce.

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 Omnis Studio through a unified interface with exceptional speed. You can 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 Omnis Studio 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 Omnis Studio: 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.

Connect Omnis Studio to ODBC data source and access data in 3 simple steps

Install the driver and configure an ODBC data source in the driver settings
01. Install the ODBC Driver. Launch Omnis Studio and click SQL Browser, then Session Manager, and New Session. Specify your data source as DBMS Vendor and select the Devart ODBC Driver as Host name.
Set up the data source
Start Omnis Studio and connect to the data source
02. With the SQL Browser option selected, click Open Session. The session template with the ODBC connection will become accessible. Click that session, and you'll get access to the data source.
Open the ODBC session in Omnis
Run a query against the data storage
03. Select the necessary element and right-click it. Then select the preferred option from the context menu. For instance, the Show Data option will display data in the interface of Omnis Studio.
