Microsoft Dynamics NAV ODBC, developed by Microsoft Corporation, is a driver that exposes Microsoft Dynamics NAV data through the industry-standard Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface. It enables ODBC-compliant applications—such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, business intelligence tools, and integration middleware—to connect to a NAV database and run SQL queries for reporting, analytics, and data integration.
The driver maps NAV tables and fields to a relational schema, respects user permissions, and supports secure connections to on-premises NAV environments. Common use cases include custom report creation, feeding dashboards, and extracting data for ETL processes. Proper setup requires a supported Dynamics NAV deployment, matching driver and application bitness (32-bit or 64-bit), appropriate network access, and correct user permissions. Administrators should validate performance and follow Microsoft guidance to avoid bypassing application business logic when accessing data directly.
