ODBC Driver for SugarCRM

ODBC Driver for SugarCRM is a connectivity solution created with the aim of allowing interactions between ODBC applications and SugarCRM cloud databases. It offers support for standard ODBC API functions and data types.

Database connections can be established via HTTP, but you also have the option of connecting via Proxy, should direct access not be possible.

The driver enables you to work with SugarCRM objects in the same way as with SQL tables. It offers support for DML operations, and you can modify data in SugarCRM just as you would in SQL Databases.

It is possible to perform bulk updates by combining multiple SQL statements into batches, making the process of modifying large amounts of data much simpler.

ODBC Driver for SugarCRM supports Advanced Connection String parameters, making it possible for various desktop and web applications to connect to Sugar CRM from any platform or environment that supports ODBC.

This driver allows you to work with data obtained from multi-lingual SugarCRM databases, and, because it is fully Unicode, the charset type should be irrelevant.

ODBC Driver for SugarCRM also offers compatibility with a broad range of third-party analysis tools, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, Crystal Reports, QlikView, PHP and Python.

In order to configure the software, you need to access the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Here, you can provide the server’s parameters, as well as specify the address of the Proxy server used to connect to the network.

Finally, you can run a connection test to verify that the server can be accessed and that the required parameters have been entered correctly.
