The SQL Anywhere ODBC driver must be added before you create the ODBC data source.

To add the SQL Anywhere ODBC driver

1. Launch the ODBC Administrator from /Applications/Utilities.

2. Select the Drivers tab.

3. Click Add.

4. In the Description field, type SQL Anywhere 11.

   The _r in the bundle name indicates that it is the threaded version of the driver. There is also an unthreaded version (dbodbc11.bundle) for use with unthreaded applications.

6. Click OK.

To create an ODBC data source

You can add the information with a text editor. The ODBC configuration files are located in /Library/ODBC within your home directory. There is an odbcinst.ini file for driver information and an odbc.ini file for data source information.

You can also use the Data Source utility (dbdsn) to create ODBC data sources on Mac OS X. See Data Source utility (dbdsn).

1. Launch the ODBC Administrator from /Applications/Utilities.

2. In the ODBC Administrator, click the User DSN tab, and then click Add.

3. In the Name list, click SQL Anywhere 11.

   Password	sql
   Start Line	dbeng11
   Database File	/Applications/SQLAnywhere11/System/demo.db
   ThreadManager	ON
