Devart ODBC Driver vs. Oracle Autonomous Database

We are using it mainly for automation. We are using HP Quality Center as our automation tool and started using Devart ODBC for connectivity to Oracle DB. We have a lot of queries in our scripts that make several connections to the db for a particular user scenario. Devart ODBC has improved the overall runtime needed for the scripts.

Scenarios where this is best suited are like where there are not large set of data which has to be analyzed and extracted.It helps in the efficiency of data .It is also well suited for medium size companies where you have to create a common data for everyone. As for large set of data, there can be network latency issues and thus there are some limitations of this software.

• It is available for variety of OSs like Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.
• Speed of data transfer is great.
• It supports SSH and SSL.
• It supports HTTPS tunneling.
• Almost no connection failures makes it very reliable.
• It is available for 32-bit and 64-bit both.

• Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with.
• Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database.

• It would be good if the connection details are stored on the cloud based on the user login so that even if the software is corrupted, it can be pulled in automatically from the cloud upon reinstallation.
• It would great if video demos were available for the key features of the tool. That would make it a lot simpler for the user when using it the first time.
• User friendliness can be improved.

• There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
• Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
• Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

Autonomous is the way of the future and this is one system which is crucial to any system and is also autonomous. It is self-tuning and self-maintaining which are major advantages.

Hands down it's the best. It's secure and extremely fast. It also doesn't need a lot of babysitting. It's running itself. It does its job as advertised. This is why I feel everyone should if they haven't already taken a hard look OAD. I feel it's the future of technology at its best. Everyone should be taking notice of how far technology has come and where it's going.
