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 DSNor System DSN) and the driver it uses (database type).

Note
In order for the database connection to be functional, you must ensure that the database Type

Database Considerations (ODBC)
Technical
On 64-bit operating systems, the ODBCData 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 ODBCconnection visible by PlanetPress, you will need to access
the 32-bit version of the ODBCmanager, available in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBCDatabases 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.
l Minimum 100MBof database size is required as a minimum, but the space requirement depends
on the implementation. The more active documents in the database, the more space is used -
note that this progression is rather linear.
