# Couchbase ODBC and JDBC Drivers

The ODBC and JDBC drivers enable any application based on the ODBC/JDBC standards. For example, Microsoft Excel, QlikView, SAP Lumira, or Tableau, to connect to a Couchbase Server or cluster. These drivers enable fast and seamless access to Couchbase data. Using these drivers, the applications can leverage on the powerful SQL++ functionality to efficiently store and process JSON documents at scale.

Couchbase ODBC and JDBC drivers are compliant with ODBC 3.8 and JDBC 4.0/4.1 standards, and compatible with ANSI SQL-92\. With the support for SQL++, these drivers empower both ODBC/JDBC and SQL++ applications to connect to Couchbase server. The drivers are available from our preferred and supported connectivity partner, CDATA (<http://www.cdata.com/drivers/>). For more information, refer to [the developer integrations page](https://www.couchbase.com/developers/integrations/?query=jdbc). For more information on downloading the drivers and complete documentation, refer to our [partner integrations page](../third-party/integrations.md#partner-integrations-with-couchbase).

Capella Provisioned, Couchbase Analytics, and Couchbase Columnar offer native BI connectivity for several popular BI tools. For more information on how to use these tools, refer to [Business Intelligence Tools](../../../analytics/query/bi.md)
