DATASHEET

CONNX for Microsoft® Excel®

CONNX for Excel provides secure, real-time, read/write access to Microsoft® Excel® enabling it to be integrated with other CONNX-supported enterprise data sources. In conjunction with other CONNX modules, you can perform seamless joins between two or more supported, disparate data sources.  

Join Excel 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 Excel is fast and efficient. You can create a single metadata model 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 Excel

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.

Data conversions

CONNX supports more than 600 data types and performs bi-directional data conversions for data updates and retrieves.

Security preserved and extended

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