<p class=BannerBase>Data source overview page</p>

<p class=Base>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.</p>

<p class=Base>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. </p>

<p class=Base>All this information is stored in a Data Source Name (DSN). 
 We use Access DSN for Access databases, SQL DSN for SQL databases, and 
 MyODBC DSN for MySQL databases.</p>

<p class=Base>The types of data sources supported are:</p>

<ul>
	
	<li class=kadov-p-CBulletLong><p class=BulletLong>Microsoft® SQL Server 
 Data Sources </p></li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p-CBulletLong><p class=BulletLong>Microsoft® Access 
 Data Sources </p></li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p-CBulletLong><p class=BulletLong>MyODBC Data Sources</p></li>
</ul>
