For organizations managing legacy systems, the 2.06 driver was often the vital link between modern reporting tools and the proprietary, document-centric architecture of Notes.
Lotus NotesSQL (sometimes called the NotesSQL ODBC driver) is an ODBC-compliant driver that exposes Lotus Notes and IBM/Domino NSF data as a relational data source. Version 2.06 is a commonly used release in legacy environments where organizations need to query Notes data from reporting tools, ETL processes, or custom applications that expect SQL/ODBC connectivity.
