SIMBA Technologies has released an ODBC Driver for Couchbase, allowing developers to access Couchbase data with third-party data integration and reporting tools. The SIMBA Couchbase ODBC driver is installed on a Windows workstation with the required software versions, including Windows Operating System (Windows 7 or higher) and SIMBA Couchbase ODBC driver 1.0.0.1000. The driver configures a Sample System DSN called "Simba Couchbase ODBC DSN" using the ODBC Data Source Administrator utility. To configure ODBC access to Couchbase, developers need to specify the hostname or IP address of a Couchbase node running the Couchbase 4.x query service, port number for the Couchbase 4.x query service, and advanced options such as schema definition and primary indexes on Couchbase buckets. A schema serves as a translation layer between Couchbase data and an ODBC-compatible format, which can be stored in a physical JSON file or in every Couchbase bucket on the cluster. The SIMBA Couchbase ODBC driver provides a quick start guide for setting up ODBC access to Couchbase, allowing developers to integrate Couchbase with other tools and applications using ODBC-compliant data integration and reporting solutions.
