Specifies a running database server to which you want to connect. This is a synonym for ServerName.
To connect to a network server, supply an EngineName. In the Connect dialog, and in the ODBC Administrator, this is the Server Name field.
The server name is interpreted according to the character set of the client machine. Multi byte characters are not recommended in server names.
Names must be a valid identifier. Long server names are truncated to different lengths depending on the protocol.
For database server naming restrictions, see the Utility Guide.
