ODBC Drivers and Data Source Names

Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments (local development) only.

To use ODBC with OpenESQL, you must install at least one ODBC driver. Most Windows operating systems automatically install several ODBC drivers. You can use one of these or install additional drivers of your choice.

Once your driver is installed, you must then create at least one data source name (DSN) that identifies a database to which you can connect. Do this using the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
