RStudio Professional Drivers#
RStudio makes it easy to connect to your data. RStudio Professional Drivers are ODBC data connectors for the most popular databases:














RStudio Professional Drivers help you:
- Explore your databases using RStudio Server Pro
- Develop and deploy applications and reports that depend on databases to RStudio Connect
- Use databases with R in a production environment
RStudio provides licensed and high-quality commercial ODBC drivers for many common data sources from Simba Technologies, a subsidiary of Magnitude Software. We absorb the cost of this license and provide it to current paying customers, at no additional charge, to be used exclusively with RStudio professional products, including the:
- RStudio Team bundle
- RStudio Server Pro
- RStudio Connect
- Shiny Server Pro
We do not sell or offer RStudio Professional Drivers for use with our free and
open-source server or desktop software and our license doesn't permit the
drivers to be used with these products. Additionally, the RStudio Professional
Drivere sare tested against the R ODBC connection toolchain, namely the
DBI
and odbc
R packages. Currently, RStudio Professional Drivers are not tested against
Python packages.
