Features

The Kyvos ODBC driver comes with the following features.

• Catalog and schema support: The Kyvos ODBC Driver supports both catalogs and schemas to make it easy for the driver to work with various ODBC applications.

• Security and authentication: Some Kyvos datastores require connections authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to protect data from unauthorized access. SSL encryption protects data and credentials when they are transferred over the network and provides stronger security. We recommended enabling SSL whenever you connect to a server that is configured to support it.
  For more information, refer to the Configuring SSL Verification on Windows section below.
