On a UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored

file manually, or use the cross–platform iqdsn utility
to create an ODBC data source. On Windows, use ODBC Administrator to add a new ODBC data source.

is on a remote machine, type the server name and database
file name. (The database file is used only if the database
is not started automatically on server start-up.)
If the data source is on your local machine, type
a start line and database name (without the .db extension).
If the data source is on a remote system, click
the Network tab, and select the appropriate protocol and options.

Administrator.
After you create the data source, use ODBC Data Souce
Administrator to test the new data source. See online help
for more information.
