Setting Up Data Sources

Scroll Prev Top Next More

To access a data source, you must first install the corresponding driver. When you install R:BASE, the installer loads the ODBC driver necessary for connecting to other R:BASE databases.

 

To set up a data source, you can use the ODBC Data Source program, which is installed with R:BASE, or you can use the ODBC Data Source Administrator program located in the Windows Control Panel, under the "Data Sources (ODBC)" icon. This may be located within "Administrative Tools".

 

To install drivers other than the R:BASE driver, refer to their respective installation manuals.
