Connector

If it has an ODBC driver, it's a source.

Every stack has systems nobody builds connectors for. The ODBC connector turns them into governed, live sources — same identity model, same virtual layer, no special case.

  • Live at the source
  • No replication
  • Existing permissions

How Virtual Data Platform reaches ODBC

  • Outbound only

    A Gateway inside the source's network connects outbound to your tenant — no inbound firewall rules, TLS on every connection.

  • Queried at the source

    The Gateway queries the source directly through its connector, under the requesting user's own permissions — Microsoft Entra ID in, translated to the source's authentication.

  • Nothing persisted

    Results stream back end-to-end encrypted and combine with your other sources in memory — no warehouse to fill, no copy to govern.

What teams do with ODBC

  • Bring legacy databases into the same governed layer as your strategic systems.

  • Reach niche and departmental systems without waiting for a dedicated connector.

  • Retire point-to-point export scripts — queries run against the source live instead.

What this connector covers

  • Tables & views
  • Free SQL queries
  • Function calls

New connectors ship regularly — missing a source you need? Just ask.

Consume it in the tools you already use

Model once, then query from anywhere — every request under the user's own identity.
