ODBC Connector Overview

You can use ODBC Connector to read data from and write data to any application that is ODBC compliant. Use ODBC connections in Data Synchronization tasks, mappings, and Mapping Configuration tasks to connect to sources, targets and lookups. You can write data to a flat file target.

Example

You want to migrate sales data from DB2 to Salesforce. You do not have a DB2 Connector to read sales data from DB2 source. You can use ODBC Connector to migrate sales data from DB2 to Salesforce.
