Ocient® includes multiple ways to connect and issue statements or queries to the database. The most common drivers used for communicating with Ocient are the JDBC driver and the pyocient module. Many third-party tools use the JDBC driver for business intelligence, visualization, and data exploration. These drivers can also be used in custom programs by leveraging the programming language’s appropriate mechanisms to use the driver, for example, using a JDBC driver directly in Java®.
