Creating a DSN connection
Creating a DSN connection
You can use a DSN to create an ODBC connection between your web application and your database. A DSN is a name containing all the parameters needed to connect to a specific database using an ODBC driver. For more information, see Using a DSN.
NOTE |
|
Because you can only specify an ODBC driver in a DSN, you must use a connection string if you want to use an OLE DB provider. For more information, see OLE DB connections. |
You can define the DSN on a local or remote Windows computer. The following topics describes methods for creating both types of connections:
- Creating a connection using a local DSN
- Creating a connection using a remote DSN
