A connection string describes the attributes of an ODBC connection. An example connection string would be:
DRIVER={Dimensional Insight ODBC Driver (32bit)};SERVER=
diver.mycompany.com;USERNAME=asmith;PROJECT=Sales;CBASE=/client_files/sales.cbase
Attributes are separated by semicolons. The attribute keys are case-insensitive. Each key is followed by an equals sign and then the attribute value. Attribute values can be surrounded with braces.
DI-ODBC supports the following attributes.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| DRIVER |
If present, this must be set to Dimensional Insight ODBC Driver (32-bit) or Dimensional Insight ODBC Driver (64-bit), depending on the architecture of the application being used. Exactly one of DSN or DRIVER must be present. |
| DSN |
If present, this must be set to a DSN created in the Windows ODBC Data Sources dialog. Other attributes included in the connection string will override the DSN attributes. Exactly one of DSN or DRIVER must be present. |
