+You may want to connect your existing Business Intelligence (BI) or
Analytics applications with HAWQ. The database application programming
interfaces most commonly used with HAWQ are the Postgres and ODBC and JDBC APIs.
-You may want to deploy your existing Business Intelligence (BI) or
Analytics applications with HAWQ. The most commonly used database application
programming interfaces with HAWQ are the ODBC and JDBC APIs.
+HAWQ provides the following connectivity tools for connecting to the
database:
+
+ - ODBC driver
+ - JDBC driver
+ - `libpq` - PostgreSQL C API
+
+## <a id="dbdriver"></a>HAWQ Drivers
+
+ODBC and JDBC drivers for HAWQ are available as a separate download from
Pivotal Network [Pivotal
Network](https://network.pivotal.io/products/pivotal-hdb).
+
+### <a id="odbc_driver"></a>ODBC Driver
+
+The ODBC API specifies a standard set of C interfaces for accessing
database management systems. For additional information on using the ODBC API,
refer to the [ODBC Programmer's
Reference](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714177(v=vs.85).aspx)
documentation.
+
+HAWQ supports the DataDirect ODBC Driver. Installation instructions for
this driver are provided on the Pivotal Network driver download page. Refer to
[HAWQ ODBC
Driver](http://media.datadirect.com/download/docs/odbc/allodbc/#page/odbc%2Fthe-greenplum-wire-protocol-driver.html%23)
for HAWQ-specific ODBC driver information.
