For other connectivity options where Actian does not provide a driver, you can use third party drivers. A range of commercial and open source drivers are available for different languages. For example, for Python, there are free and open source drivers and a commercial driver that connects through the Ingres ODBC driver.

Options for drivers are documented in the community at https://communities.actian.com.

We recommend using third party drivers that connect through ODBC or JDBC. In many cases the ODBC driver option is pre-built and included with the installation, which makes deployment much easier and eliminates the need to compile the driver/extension. For example Perl binaries for Windows and Linux include DBD::ODBC, which is the Perl ODBC driver.
