ODBC Enterprise stage

You can use the ODBC Enterprise stage to connect to all the major, external data sources from the parallel canvas of the InfoSphere® DataStage®: IBM® DB2®, IBM Informix®, Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, Netezza, Teradata, MySQL, MS Access, and so on.

When you use IBM InfoSphere DataStage to access external data sources, you can choose from a collection of connectivity options. For most new jobs, use the ODBC Connector stage, which offers better functionality and performance than the ODBC Enterprise stage.

If you have jobs that use the ODBC Enterprise stage and want to use the connector, use the Connector Migration Tool to migrate jobs to use the connector.
