RMS ODBC Driver
The Easysoft ODBC-RMS Driver provides secure, real-time, read/write SQL access to RMS files on VAX and Alpha OpenVMS servers.
Simple to install and easy to use, this high performance driver needs little support, but rest assured that if you do need us, we are here for you.
Product Description
The Easysoft ODBC-RMS Driver lets ODBC-enabled Windows applications such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel access RMS data on OpenVMS servers.
In addition to VAX and Alpha OpenVMS servers, the Easysoft ODBC-RMS Driver also provides ODBC access to the OpenVMS Itanium (i64) 64-bit platform. If you are currently migrating your RMS data to the OpenVMS Itanium (i64) platform, you can therefore use the Easysoft ODBC-RMS Driver to access these high performance systems from your ODBC-enabled applications. If you have yet to make the transition, you can be confident that Easysoft is committed to ODBC access to RMS data on the most current OpenVMS platforms.
To access RMS data, ODBC function calls are passed from a Windows ODBC driver to data access software installed on the OpenVMS server. The following diagram illustrates the product’s multi-tier architecture.
The Easysoft ODBC-RMS Driver:
- Requires no change to existing file systems or applications.
- Provides a GUI based management utility that makes it easy to configure users and data dictionaries.
- Lets you control user access to the RMS data. For example, you can define which users have Select, Update, Insert and Delete privileges.
- Automatically creates metadata from COBOL, PowerHouse or CSV files.
