SQLFlex® is a high-performance ISDBC driver for connecting to Microsofts MS SQL Server® database from DataFlex programs. The driver uses Microsoft's SQL Server Native Client for communicating with and accessing the MS SQL Server database. We ship the SQL Server Native client and it is also available as a free small download from Microsoft. There is no need to buy additional drivers from other vendors, like in the case of ODBC.
