The DataDirect Connect for ODBC and DataDirect Connect64 for ODBC Text driver (the Text driver) supports ASCII text files.

These files can be printed directly or edited with text editors or word processors, because none of the data is stored in a binary format.

For the latest support information, visit the DataDirect Product Compatibility Guide.

The 32-bit and 64-bit Text driver is is supported in the Windows, UNIX, and Linux environments. See Environment-Specific Information for detailed information about the environments supported by this driver.

The Text driver executes SQL statements directly on the text files. The driver supports Insert statements and inserts the record at the end of the file. You can execute Update and Delete statements conditionally.

The Text driver can access files up to 15 GB in size.

Refer to the readme file shipped with your DataDirect Connect product for the file names for the Text driver.
