Features
Support for Bulk Upload
Load large amounts of data to the database faster. Use of a database bulk protocol when an application executes an Insert with multiple rows of parameter data.
Support for Always Encrypted
Store sensitive data on the server in an encrypted state. The driver transparently decrypts data from encrypted columns and returns them to the application. This reduces exposure of potential vulnerabilities, including server-side security breaches.
Support for High Availability
Parallel connections to all failover IP addresses in an Availability Group when the connection is broken, or the listener IP address is unavailable.
Support for Secure Authentication Mechanism
Supports secure Azure Active Directory authentication using Azure AD credentials or a generated Access Token
Security and Compliance
Protect customer-sensitive data elements (including remote credential or database pairings stored) with encryption, both at rest (AES-256) and in transit (SSL/TLS).
Cross-platform Support
Use one ODBC driver for all versions of SQL across all platforms - Unix / Linux, AIX, Solaris, Windows and HP-UX - to maximize development resources.
