[Carolinei]

We are pleased to announce immediate availability of new Apple Notarized Installers for both our Virtuoso and our suite of ODBC Drivers for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and JDBC Data Sources.

A new batch of ODBC Drivers for macOS that provide tools such as Excel (part of Microsoft Office for macOS) with transparent access to a wide variety of Data Sources, courtesy of a visual ODBC Driver Manager that’s on par with its Windows equivalent.

You shouldn’t be editing .ini files manually on macOS (of all platforms) to experience the Data Connectivity benefits of ODBC.

Our ODBC and JDBC Drivers for Virtuoso extend all of this power to the LOD Cloud Knowledge Graph and the World Wide Web as additional Structured Data Sources accessible via SQL!
