UnixODBC

unixODBC is an open source project that implements the ODBC API. The code is provided under the GNU GPL/ LGPL and can be built and used on many different operating systems, including most versions of Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, IBM OS/2 and Microsoft's Interix.

The goals of the project include:

  • Provide developers with the tools to port Microsoft Windows ODBC applications to other platforms with the minimum of code changes.
  • Maintain the project as a vendor neutral interface database SDK
  • Provide people who write ODBC drivers the tools to port their drivers to non Windows platforms
  • Provide the user with a set of GUI and command line tools for managing their database access
  • Maintain links with both the free software community and commercial database vendors, to ensure interoperability
