Using the ODBC Administrator

The first step in setting up an ODBC connection is creating an ODBC data source. You use the ODBC Administrator to create and manage ODBC data sources.

To start the ODBC Administrator, click Start / Programs. From the Programs menu, select DataDirect SequeLink 6.0 Client for ODBC, and then select the ODBC Administrator application. The ODBC Data Source Administrator window appears listing resident data sources.

NOTE: An ODBC Administrator does not exist for Linux/UNIX; you must edit the odbc.ini file using a text editor. See "Configuring ODBC Client Data Sources on Linux and UNIX" for instructions on creating ODBC client data sources for Linux/UNIX.
