Support for your particular database is dependent on the availability of ODBC client drivers – Windows users usually get these at no extra cost from their database vendor. As with all Eas圜atalog panels, you can create new views at any time – each with their own sorting, grouping and filtering configurations. Spotted an error in your data? Update it in the document and send the change back to the database to prevent the error being repeated in future.Īny number of data sources can be configured at one time, each with its own SQL statement, allowing a virtually unlimited view of your database. The Data Provider knows when a field has changed and efficiently applies any updates back into the database. The ODBC Data Provider is also bi-directional, so any changes to linked content in InDesign can be updated straight back into the database.
This overcomes the need to have a constant connection to your database and means you to carry on working during periods where the database is unavailable and even work at home or on the move!
The ODBC Data Provider works by taking a snapshot of data that can be updated at any time.
