For the most modern, 64-bit compatible driver, it is recommended to look for the IBM ODBC Driver for Notes/Domino 9.0 , which supports newer environments.
This paper examines the Lotus Notes SQL 206 (NotesSQL) ODBC driver: its purpose, architecture, installation, configuration, common use cases, query behavior and limitations, performance considerations, security implications, migration strategies, and troubleshooting. It targets DBAs, application developers, and system integrators who need to access IBM/Lotus Notes/Domino data from SQL-based reporting and integration tools. Practical examples, configuration snippets, and recommended best practices are included.

Lotus NotesSQL is an ODBC driver for IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Lotus Domino software. It enables ODBC‑compliant data reporting tools, database tools, and application development tools to read, report, and update information stored in Domino databases ( .nsf files). A Domino database is not relational, but with NotesSQL, it looks like a relational data source to any ODBC‑enabled tool. This allows relational database management systems (RDBMS) such as Oracle and IBM DB2 to issue SQL statements to Lotus Domino.
