With ECDA, you can:
Create developer, application, and user interfaces that let developers, applications, and users work with familiar tools—no matter how your business enterprise changes or what new technologies are added.
Access information on remote, heterogeneous data servers as if it were from a single source.
Connect to DB2 UDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle using the appropriate ECDA Option, either directly or in conjunction with Adaptive Server Enterprise/Component Integration Services (ASE/CIS), or Replication Server.
Connect to other ODBC-compliant databases using ECDA Option for ODBC and an appropriate ODBC driver, either directly or in conjunction with ASE/CIS or Replication Server.
