Register a database with ODBC

Top  Previous  Next

This allows you to register a database with ODBC, giving it a Data Source Name (DSN) in the process. You can do the same directly with the ODBC Manager, but this may be slightly simpler for some people. First, choose your database file:

 

DatabaseManager_Register0

 

Now, on to the registration process:

 

DatabaseManager_Register1

 

DatabaseManager_Register2

 

You'll need to specify what kind of database file it is:

 

DatabaseManager_Register3

 

Having gathered this information, it is fed into the ODBC Manager, which appears like this:

 

DatabaseManager_Register4

 

You can edit the settings at this point, and when you click OK the database is registered.
