- Microsoft Power BI
Microsoft Power BI is a freely-downloadable Business Intelligence (BI) tool for Microsoft Windows. Using the MariaDB Direct Query Adapter, a Microsoft-certified connector, you can connect to MariaDB products and query data without downloading the entire data set to your local machine. For additional information, see "Connect using Microsoft Power BI".
N
- Node.js
Node.js is a runtime environment for the JavaScript programming language. For information on connecting to MariaDB products from Node.js applications, see "MariaDB Connector/Node.js".
O
- ODBC
ODBC, Open Database Connectivity, is an API. For information on connecting to MariaDB products from applications that use the ODBC API, see "MariaDB Connector/ODBC".
