5.1. Testing an OLEDB Connection
The connection can be tested using the sample application, "Rowset
Viewer" as follows:
- Select Full Connect from the File menu
- Select OpenLink ODBC Provider for the connection provider
- Choose an ODBC Datasource either by typing
the name directly or using the "..." button and
selecting Enumerator from the submenu that appears in
place of the button. In the new dialog that appears choose "OpenLink
ODBC Data Source Enumerator" as the data source enumerator and
click Connect. A list of ODBC data sources will appear, from
which you can choose the one you want and click OK
to confirm.
- Enter the UserID and Password
and click on OK to connect.
- Once connected an "Command" subwindow will appears, into which you
can submit SQL for test querying on the data source.
