Simba SDK
Empower Your Data Integration: Ultimate Toolkit to Build Custom ODBC/JDBC Drivers
Connect, Create, Conquer: Simplify Integration with Simba SDK
Navigating Complex Data Integration
Integrating data across diverse platforms presents significant technical hurdles, resulting in your team spending valuable time on extensive customization and manual effort. This complexity can delay your projects and escalate costs, making efficient data access a persistent challenge. Instead of wasting engineering cycles, Simba SDK provides tooling and sample code to accelerate prototyping and more.
Resource-Heavy Driver Development
Custom driver development demands considerable time and expertise from your team, leading to significantly less time for innovation. This not only lengthens your time-to-market but also increases the burden on your dev teams, hindering agility and innovation. Simba SDK reduces dev time without sacrificing quality by providing building blocks like connection handling, SQL translation, error mapping, and more.
Data Security & Compliance Hurdles
Increasing risks of breaches and penalties mean you must ensure data security and meet compliance standards. Without advanced security measures, your organization is vulnerable to compromised data integrity, damaging customer trust, and increasing the risk of non-compliance. Simba SDK makes compliance part of the driver instead of an afterthought, using OWASP controls, audit logging, and more.

Simba SDK FAQs
Not only is Simba SDK the same toolkit that our own engineering team uses to build commercial drivers (so it’s battle-tested), but Simba was instrumental in the original development of the ODBC standard. This means that our reputation is not only long-lasting, but integral to today’s connectors. Simba SDK is also performance-oriented, using its Simba SQL Engine to support collaborative query execution, optimizing performance via pass-down capabilities. Simba supports a wide variety of standards (including ODBC 3.8, JDBC 4.2/4.3, ADO.NET, and OLE DB), so it can be flexible to suit the apps that your clients or internal teams use.
Simba SDK goes beyond simple tools, though, and also provides productivity features for developers like sample connector templates with full source code, efficient localization, and more. Its security and extensibility are unmatched in the industry, showcased by its track record and legacy. Simba isn’t just a boilerplate or learning tool — it’s a full, production-grade, highly optimized, and flexible toolkit for modern ODBC and JDBC development.
Simba SDK makes it incredibly easy and fast to build custom ODBC and JDBC drivers. Its QuickStart sample connectors (in C++, Java, and C#) provide a working template right out of the box, making it feasible to create a proof-of-concept connector in as little as five days. Whether you prefer writing in C++, Java, or C#, Simba’s SDK is flexible and supports each language (as well as SQL data sources and non-SQL data sources). Another quality-of-life area that Simba SDK outperforms in is that it includes diagnostic tools, logging frameworks, test harnesses, and more to help debug and validate your driver. While building a custom connector is not easy, Simba SDK significantly lowers the barrier and makes it faster than ever to build your own.
Yes. Simba Managed Services are perfect for customers who either don’t want to build connectors themselves or want help maintaining them. This is a low-risk and cost-effective way to build complex connectors by using our experts to handle it. By outsourcing this area, your engineers can focus more on the product and innovation rather than data plumbing.
