- Connect directly to the database using the ODBC driver (which has been reported as slow). You can learn more about the ODBC connector in Workbench here: Connecting to ODBC data.
- Use a product called Anterra Data Center, which basically copies the Sage data to a SQL-based database. You can then connect to that database using Workbench. Most users prefer Anterra, as it is generally a faster way to access Sage data.
