CONNX DB Adapter for PostgreSQL®
The CONNX DB Adapter for PostgreSQL® module provides secure, real-time, read/write access to PostgreSQL databases running on any platform, using .NET, OLE DB, ODBC or JDBC®. In conjunction with other CONNX modules, you can perform seamless joins between two or more supported disparate databases.
Join PostgreSQL with multiple data sources
CONNX DB Adapter for PostgreSQL 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 DB Adapter for PostgreSQL
The CONNX distributed SQL engine reduces the workload on the server by performing CPU-intensive operations at the CONNX client (Linux® and Windows®, e.g., remote desktop, web, and/or application servers), while allowing the database engine to perform tasks for which it is best suited. CONNX directly imports PostgreSQL metadata from COBOL copybooks or text files. 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 creating views that hide 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 retrieval.
Metadata import
CONNX DB Adapter for PostgreSQL imports PostgreSQL metadata directly from COBOL copybooks and a CONNX Text Specification file format into a CONNX Data Dictionary file (CDD).
Occur clauses
The CONNX unique Rotated Array Technology simplifies the manipulation of large arrays. CONNX accomplishes this by returning each column of the array as a separate row.
Compliance
Count on ODBC Full Compliance (level 2), JDBC Type 3 Driver, OLE DB 2.5 Driver, .NET 2.0 Driver, and above.
Table redefinition
The CDD supports multiple record layouts for the same PostgreSQL file, based on a “record type” field.
