CONNX for SQL Server®

CONNX for SQL Server® provides secure, real-time, read/write access to SQL Server®. In conjunction with other CONNX modules, you can perform seamless joins between two or more supported, disparate databases. With CONNX, a single metadata model can be created that spans all enterprise data sources and applications requiring data access. The result is an enterprise-wide view of data that provides a reusable, standards-based framework for information access.

Join SQL Server with multiple data sources

In conjunction with other products in the CONNX suite, you can perform seamless joins between two or more supported disparate databases using ODBC, OLE DB, .NET and JDBC®. CONNX for SQL Server access is fast and efficient. With CONNX, a single metadata model can be created that spans all enterprise data sources and applications requiring data access. The result is an enterprise-wide view of data that provides a reusable standards-based framework for information access. To the user or application, data appears as if it existed in a single federated relational database.

SQL & CONNX for SQL Server

CONNX supports ANSI SQL (Insert, Update, Select and Delete); group by, distinct, aggregate (AVG, MIN, MAX, SUM and COUNT); and all substring, string, date, conversion and math functions. Nested inner and outer left/right joins are supported, as well as subqueries and correlated subqueries. CONNX also supports Unions and Insert/Select.

Key features

Views

CONNX supports the creation of views, which facilitate hiding table relationships from the end user. CONNX Views facilitate the creation of heterogeneous joins between multiple disparate databases.

Security preserved and extended

The CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD) is encrypted to secure sensitive information. It provides additional field and table-level security by group or user, ensuring information is protected. CONNX also supports row level security with CONNX Views.
