.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server – UDC PcVue
Why Use the SQL Server Provider?
The .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (SqlClient) enables fast, reliable, and direct communication between PcVue and Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL Database. Unlike ODBC or OLE DB, this provider is optimized specifically for SQL Server, ensuring superior performance and reduced overhead.
Key Benefits:
- High-performance direct communication with SQL Server
- No need for OLE DB or ODBC layers
- Fully compatible with Azure SQL Database
- No specific development required (VBA or Manager Toolkit)
Provider Overview
The .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (SqlClient) uses its own protocol to communicate with SQL Server. It is lightweight and performs well because it is optimized to access a SQL Server directly without adding an OLE DB or Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) layer.
This is the driver you use to connect to an MS SQL Server or Azure SQL Database.
