Simba Announces More Support For UNIX

By Mike Sachoff

Simba Technologies has announced the release of SimbaLib ODBC SDK 8.1, a software development kit (SDK) for building ODBC drivers for any SQL-enabled data source.

Version 8.1 of the ODBC SDK includes wider UNIX and Mac OS support, allowing developers to now build complete ODBC driver for implementations on the HP/UX, AIX and Mac OS X platforms. Support for other 32-bit and 64-bit platforms like Windows Vista, Solaris, Ubuntu and Red Hat Linux also continue from the previous version.

"SimbaLib ODBC SDK is the most comprehensive software development kit available for building commercial grade, fully-functional and easily maintainable ODBC Drivers for SQL data sources," said Shaun Applebaum, Simba's ODBC Product
Manager.

"The SDK offers developers greater choices to easily build out full-featured ODBC connectivity in their native development environment, whether it is Windows, Linux, UNIX or Mac. Never before have there been so many options to implement an ODBC connectivity solution that connects users to their data and optimizes use of a software vendor's platform."

Along with the added platform support, other changes in Version8.1 include performance enhancements and new documentation for quick implementation of many advanced ODBC features.

"Much of the enhancements and new documentation included in SimbaLib ODBC SDK 8.1 further improve the speed and ease of building and implementing a fully-featured ODBC Driver," said Applebaum.

"Developers can use the SDK to build an initial ODBC or JDBC Driver in as little as a few days - a fraction of the time it would take to build one from scratch."
