Creating and editing ODBC data sources

For more information on the parameters in the Database tab, see the EngineName, StartLine, DatabaseName, DatabaseFile, and AutoStop connection parameters in the chapter “Connection and Communication Parameters” in the Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual.

Network tab

Select the network protocol and specify any protocol specific options

where necessary The TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBIOS check boxes specifies what protocol or protocols the ODBC DSN will use to access a network database server. In the adjacent boxes, you may enter communication parameters that establish and tune connections from your client application to a database.

For a TCP/IP example, see “To create an ODBC User Data Source:” on page

66.For more information see the CommLinks connection parameter, and Network communications parameters, in the chapter “Connection and Communication Parameters” in the Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual.

Encrypt all network packets Enables encryption of packets transmitted from the client machine over the network. By default, network encryption packets is set to OFF.

Liveness timeout A liveness packet is sent across a client/server to confirm that a connection is intact. If the client runs for the liveness timeout period without detecting a liveness packet, the communication will be severed. This parameter works only with network server and TCP/IP or IPX communications protocols. The default is 120 seconds.

Buffer size Set the maximum size of communication packets, in bytes.

Buffer space Indicates the amount of space to allocate on startup for network buffers, in kilobytes.

For more information on the Encryption, LivenessTimeout, CommBufferSize and CommBufferSpace connection parameters, see the Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual.

Advanced tab

Connection name The name of the connection that is being created.

Character set The name of the character set.

Allow multiple record fetching Enables multiple records to be retrieved at one time instead of individually. By default, multiple record fetching is allowed.
