Testing an ODBC Data Source

You can test ODBC Data Sources using the ODBC Administrator.

  1. Start the database. For example, to start the demo database, select Programs > Sybase > Sybase IQ 16.0 > Start Sybase IQ Demo Database.
  2. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator, select your new data source from the list of User Data Sources.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. On the ODBC Configuration dialog box, click Test Connection.

    If you cannot access the Data Source, check that you have filled out the various tabs with correct file and path names.
