Velocis – formerly a product of Centura Software – is now called Birdstep RDM Server, but is labeled Velocis (ODBC 3.x) in the source and target connection lists in the integration platform. The name change occurred when Birdstep Technology of Norway acquired all Centura/Raima database product lines (late 2001). With this ODBC 3.x connector, you can read and write Velocis files.

Velocis (Birdstep RDM Server) is an application-oriented relational database management system (RDBMS) and is compatible with Windows, LINUX and Unix operating systems. Velocis is a cross-platform database server for e-Business, Web applications, industrial servers and other applications. The Velocis application-server architecture supports ANSI SQL, Unicode, RPC (Remote Procedure Calls), JDBC and ODBC.

The integration platform supports Velocis version 3.5 (now named Birdstep RDM Server version 3.5). Instead of connecting to a communications layer as in previous versions of Velocis, in Birdstep's version 3.5, you can connect directly to a Web server. Because of this enhancement, users can develop multithreaded applications that provide faster access to their database information.

The Velocis ODBC driver (version 3.5) on the Source does not support Dynamic cursor calls or SetEnvAttribute calls.
