Connect using a data source

You can save sets of connection parameters in a data source. All SQL Anywhere interfaces, except Open Client and jConnect, can use data sources.

To connect using a data source (Sybase Central or Interactive SQL)

  1. Start Sybase Central or Interactive SQL.

    If the Connect window does not appear:

    • In Sybase Central, choose Connections » Connect With SQL Anywhere 11.

    • In Interactive SQL, choose SQL » Connect.

  2. Click the Identification tab.

  3. In the User ID field, type a user name.

  4. In the Password field, type a password for the database.

  5. Do one of the following:

    • Click ODBC Data Source Name and enter the DataSourceName (DSN) connection parameter that references a data source in the Windows registry. Click Browse to view a list of data sources.

    • Click ODBC Data Source File and enter the FileDataSourceName (FILEDSN) connection parameter that references a data source held in a file. Click Browse to view a list of files.
