InterSystems IRIS Drivers

Use the buttons to download drivers for use in making programmatic connections to InterSystems IRIS.

JDBC ADO.NET DB-API ODBC Linux ODBC Mac ODBC Win

Program a connection using these simple steps:

1. Download the driver for the language you are developing in.
2. Follow the instructions in the learning content listed below to install it in your environment.
3. Continue with the instructions to add the appropriate connection string to your application. To do this, you'll need the following information about the InterSystems IRIS instance you want to connect to:

• The hostname or IP address of the instance's host and the superserver port of the instance (default 1972). If the instance is running in a container, you'll need to know what host port the superserver port was published as when the container was created.
• The Namespace you want to connect to.
• The username and password of an account with sufficient privileges to execute the actions you want to take through the connection.
