Connecting from Sybase Central or Interactive SQL using a Data Source
Connect from Sybase Central or Interactive
SQL using an ODBC data source.
Start Sybase Central or Interactive SQL and open
the Connect dialog (if it doesn’t appear automatically).
On the Identification tab (Login tab in Interactive
SQL Classic), enter a user ID and password, for example, DBA and sql.
On the lower half of the Identification tab, do one
of the following:
Select the ODBC Data Source
Name option and specify a data source name (equivalent to the DSN
connection parameter, which references a data source in the registry).
To view a list of data sources, click Browse.
Select the ODBC Data Source File option and specify
a data source file (equivalent to the FileDSN connection parameter,
which references the data source held in a file.). You can search
for a file by clicking Browse.
The Sybase IQ Demo data source holds a set of connection
parameters, including the database file and a start parameter.
Note: You can also specify the data source name by including
the dsn connection parameter when you start Interactive
