What is the odbc data source? in view of this question, this article introduces in detail the corresponding analysis and solutions, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible way.

The full name of ODBC data source is Open Database Interconnection (OpenDatabaseConnectivity). As part of Microsoft's open database structure, it is actually an application interface, which is mainly used to provide the database's ability to write applications. Because it is a software released by Microsoft, ODBC also provides support for SQL statements. Users can use and schedule ODBC drivers through the API interface provided by ODBC, and then ODBC drivers contact the database management system through SQL language.

ODBC data sources basically exist in every computer. Take WindowsXP as an example, open the control panel-system tools-data sources (ODBC), and you can find them. Double-click to open the ODBC data source manager, which is mainly used to configure, add and delete different data sources. ODBC data sources specially simplify this, which makes it more convenient for users to configure data sources.

The following describes the main functions of the ODBC data source manager:

1. The user DSN:ODBC user data source stores information about how to connect with the specified data provider. The user data source is only visible to the current user and can only be applied on the local computer.

2. The system DSN:ODBC system data source stores information about how to connect with the specified data provider. The system data source is visible to all users on the current machine.

3. File DSN:ODBC file data source allows users to connect to data providers. The file DSN can be shared by users who have the same driver installed.

4. Drivers: ODBC drivers allow programs that support ODBC to obtain information through ODBC data sources. If you install a new driver, use its installer.

5. Tracing: ODBC tracing allows you to create logs that call ODBC drivers for technicians to view; you can also assist in debugging applications. The VisualStudio trace starts the ODBC trace for MicrosoftVisualStudio.

Connection pooling: connection pooling allows the application to reopen the connection handle, which stores the round trip to the server.

This is the answer to the question about what the odbc data source is. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to solve, you can follow the industry information channel for more related knowledge.
