The Progress® DataDirect® for ODBC™ for GitHub™ driver supports SQL read-only access for ODBC applications to GitHub. The driver provides access to data in GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Cloud, which can be pulled into a data visualization tool to get important insights into engineering operations. In addition, the driver employs a SQL engine component that provides support to SQL constructs to provide the most comprehensive SQL support and ODBC standard-based connectivity to BI and ETL tools. To support SQL access to GitHub services, the driver creates a relational map of the GitHub data model and translates SQL statements to GitHub REST API requests.

For an overview of the relational tables exposed by the driver and their corresponding API calls, see Introduction to the GitHub data model.

The documentation for the driver also includes the Progress DataDirect for ODBC Drivers Reference. The reference provides general reference information for all DataDirect drivers for ODBC, including content on troubleshooting and supported functions.
