65bit Software EasyCatalog ODBC Module for InDesign CS3 (PC) (download version) [?]

Windows Delivery Options: ESD Only Product Type: Plug-Ins Category: Design Tools Host Application: QuarkXPress ESD Available: Yes Brief Description: Connect directly to your ODBC-compliant database, such as MySQL, SQL Server, FileMaker or Oracle

This module is ideal for users whose database is constantly changing, as it removes the need to export your database to a file before importing it into EasyCatalog. This link is bi-directional, allowing any changes made to the document to be sent back to the database.

Take your data with you
The ODBC Data Provider works by taking a snapshot of data that can be updated at any time. This overcomes the need to have a constant connection to your database and means you to carry on working during periods where the database is unavailable and even work at home or on the move!

Bi-directional Link
The Data Provider is also bi-directional, so any changes to linked content in InDesign can be updated straight back into the database. The Data Provider knows when a field has changed and efficiently applies any updates back into the database.

Spotted an error in your data? Update it on the document and send the change back to the database to prevent the error being repeated in future.

Multiple views of your Database
Any number of data sources can be configured at one time, each with it's own SQL statement, allowing a virtually unlimited view of your database. As with all EasyCatalog panels, you can create new views at any time, each with their own sorting, grouping and filtering configurations.
