DataSourceOdbc

Native C API

Overview

DataSourceOdbc is a specialized DataSource for importing data from an ODBC database.
To create a new DataSource use TFORMer Designer.

The main properties to characterize a DataSourceOdbc are:

  • The DSN
    The DSN represents the name of the database connection as defined in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. Please keep in mind that the DSN is a part of the connection string and thus a complete specification is required.

  • The user name
    It depends on the database connection if the user-name is required or not.

  • The password
    It depends on the database connection if the password is required or not.

  • The SQL SELECT statement
    The column names returned by the SQL SELECT statement should match the names of the DataFields in the FormLayout. Use SQL aliases if required.
