Adding Data Sources with registry keys |
Previous Top Next |
The appropriate tool to add data sources is the ODBC Administrator. Since this tool just adds some registry tools, it is possible to add the necessary keys in an own application.
Here is an example to add the system dsn "MyApp" using registry keys only:
1) Create a new registry key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI" and name it to "MyApp"
2) Add these values to the new created key:
Name |
Type |
