PlanetPress Capture ODBC Settings
This dialog is used to set up the connection to a PlanetPress Capture Database through an ODBCconnection.
To access this dialog, see PlanetPress Capture User Options.
The ODBCSettings dialog
The following settings are available:
l Name:Click to displays and choose from a drop-down of each DSN(Data Source Name)available on the system,
along with it's source (User DSNor System DSN) and the driver it uses (database type).
l Type:Click to display a drop-down of supported database types. This must correspond to the database type of the
DSNchosen in the previous option.
l Username:If the database is secured with a username and password, enter the username here.
l Password:If the database is secured with a username and password, enter the password here.
In order for the database connection to be functional, you must ensure that the database Type correspond exactly to
the one used by the DSN, and is part of the supported database types.
Database Considerations (ODBC)
On 64-bit operating systems, the ODBCData Sources created by the Data Source (ODBC)icon in the Administrative
Tools will not appear here, as PlanetPress Suite is 32-bit and cannot access the 64-bit data sources. In order to create
an ODBCconnection visible by PlanetPress, you will need to access the 32-bit version of the ODBCmanager, avail-
able in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBCDatabases in PlanetPress Suite.
l All databases
l User Rights:During normal operation, Read/Write to tables should be sufficient. However, during the initial
setup, the Create/Drop tables rights is necessary.
