Data source overview page

Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard database access method that allows you to access and modify data from any application, regardless of which database management system is handling the data.

The data to be accessed needs an interpreter (driver), which understands the format of the stored data, and a connection manager that determines how the connection needs to be made.

All this information is stored in a Data Source Name (DSN). We use Access DSN for an Access database, SQL DSN for a SQL database, and MyODBC DSN for a MySQL database.

The types of Data sources supported are:

The Overview page displays the maximum number of SQL, Access, and MyODBC data sources that are allowed for the siteorganization.
