    I want to import my Google contacts into a linked database on MS Access 2010 and I think an ODBC driver is the easiest way to do it. Is there a driver authenticated by Google? Also which are the safest and most secure to use? I found this: https://www.rssbus.com/odbc/google/, is this safe?

    I would like to be sure before I start using it since I wouldn't want my contacts to be transferred insecurely.

    osx - What's the difference between ODBC Manager and ODBC Administrator?
  • John Gallagher

    I have two applications in my Applications/Utilities folder that look exactly the same except for the icon. One is ODBC Manager, the other is ODBC Administrator.

    Does anyone know what the difference between these two is?

    ODBC Administrator was shipped with Mac OS X until 10.6 Snow Leopard, when it be came a separate download from the Apple support site.

    ODBC Manager is an independently developed application that is functionally equivalent to the Apple ODBC Administrator. It is installed with the Actual ODBC Pack drivers from Actual Technologies (and potentially other 3rd party ODBC drivers).

    If you are using 10.5 Leopard or earlier, or if you have installed Apple's Administrator from the support site, then you may have both administrators. You can use either one - Manager is intended to be equivalent (with some of Apple's bugs fixed).
