Installing an ODBC Driver
We do not sell or distribute ODBC drivers. You must obtain ODBC drivers from another vendor.
Some basic ODBC drivers are installed automatically with Windows operating systems. However, the drivers are not configured automatically, so you must do this by using the operating system ODBC administrator privileges.
Note: In Windows, the ODBC administrator is called Data Sources (ODBC) and is found in Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
In current versions of Windows on 64-bit platforms, the administrator is ODBC Data Sources (64-bit). There is also a 32-bit variant. But for DataConnect, 64-bit data sources are required.
Configuring ODBC Data Source
To add a data source to ODBC Control Panel
1. Go to Administrative Tools from the Start menu.
2. Double-click ODBC Data Sources (64-bit).
The ODBC Data Source Administrator window is displayed.
3. Click Add.
The Create New Data Source window appears.
4. Select the appropriate driver and click Finish.
The ODBC Administrator window appears for that driver.
The options varies depending on the selected driver. Check the documentation of the particular driver for information to setup the driver.
5. Click Apply and then click OK.
The created data source is displayed on the System DSN tab. The name of the driver is also displayed.
6. Click OK to close the ODBC administrator window.
