What is DriverFX for Calyx Point?
DriverFX is an ODBC driver (DLL) for Calyx Point data files. Calyx Point stores it’s data in it’s own proprietary DBMS file format. This driver allows users of any ODBC compliant front end application to read the data contained in Calyx Point data files similarly to any other ODBC enabled database. DriverFX for Calyx Point works by accepting SQL commands from applications through the ODBC interface, then converting those calls to navigational XML commands to the Calyx Point DBMS and returning record sets that qualify for the query results. This driver is not a Client/Server product, but rather communicates directly with the Calyx Point application. Calyx Point is a flat file database, and this driver will not change it into a relational database, so keep that in mind when developing with this driver. DriverFX acts as a ‘wrapper’ around the Calyx Point SDK so customers can finally get at their data using standard database tools; speeding development time. What can I do with DriverFX for
