Database Developer's Guide:ODBC

To connect to a database with ODBC, you have to set up a DSN with, for example the Data Source Name: Webserver.

Now use a Database component by setting:

• DriverName: odbc
• Host: the Data Source Name you have set, for example Webserver
• Username: Name of the user with access
• UserPassword: Password for that user

Note: To set up a database with ODBC is very easy, but this data access is really slow compared to native access. So it is recommended to use native access if possible.
