Connecting Using a Data Source

You can save sets of connection parameters in a data source. ODBC and JDBC using the iAnywhere JDBC driver use data sources, as do Embedded SQL applications like Interactive SQL Classic.

You can create data sources from the ODBC Administrator.

All applications can benefit from using data sources.

The iqdemo data source holds a set of connection parameters, including the database file and a start parameter to start the demo database. The server name in this data source is “hostname_iqdemo” where hostname represents your system name.
