The ODBC Data Source Administrator
within
Windows enables you to create DSNs, check driver installation
and configure ODBC systems such as tracing (used for debugging)
and connection pooling.
Different editions and versions of Windows store the
ODBC Data Source Administrator
in different
locations depending on the version of Windows that you are
using.
To open the ODBC Data Source Administrator
in
Windows Server 2003:
On the Start
menu, choose
Administrative Tools
, and then click
Data Sources (ODBC)
.
To open the ODBC Data Source Administrator
in
Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Professional:
On the Start
menu, choose
Settings
, and then click Control
Panel
.
In Control Panel
, click
Administrative Tools
.
In Administrative Tools
, click

Within Windows XP, you can add the Administrative
Tools
folder to your Start menu
to make it easier to locate the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
To do this:
Right click on the Start menu.
Select Properties
.
Click Customize....
Select the Advanced tab.
Within Start menu items
, within the
System Administrative Tools
section,
select Display on the All Programs menu
.
Within both Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP you may want to
permanently add the ODBC Data Source
Administrator
to your Start
menu. To do this, locate the Data Sources
(ODBC)
icon using the methods shown, then right-click
on the icon and then choose Pin to Start
Menu.
To add and configure a new Connector/ODBC data source on
Windows, use the ODBC Data Source
Administrator
:
Open the ODBC Data Source
Administrator
.
To create a System DSN (which will be available to all
users) , select the System DSN
tab. To
create a User DSN, which will be unique only to the
current user, click the Add...
button.
You will need to select the ODBC driver for this DSN.
Select MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
, then
click Finish
.
You now need to configure the specific fields for the DSN
you are creating through the Add Data Source
Name
dialog.
In the Data Source Name
box, enter the
name of the data source you want to access. It can be any
valid name that you choose.
In the Description
box, enter some text
to help identify the connection.
In the Server
field, enter the name of
the MySQL server host that you want to access. By default,
it is localhost
.
In the User
field, enter the user name
to use for this connection.
In the Password
field, enter the
corresponding password for this connection.
The Database
popup should automatically
populate with the list of databases that the user has
permissions to access.
Click OK to save the DSN.
A completed DSN configuration may look like this:
You can verify the connection using the parameters you have
entered by clicking the Test button. If
the connection could be made successfully, you will be
notified with a Success; connection was
made!
dialog.
If the connection failed, you can obtain more information on the test and why it may have failed by clicking the Diagnostics... button to show additional error messages.
You can configure a number of options for a specific DSN by using either the Connect Options or Advanced tabs in the DSN configuration dialog.
The Connection Options dialog can be seen below.
The three options you can configure are:
Port
sets the TCP/IP port number to use
when communicating with MySQL. Communication with MySQL
uses port 3306 by default. If your server is configured to
use a different TCP/IP port, you must specify that port
number here.
Socket
sets the name or location of a
specific socket or Windows pipe to use when communicating
with MySQL.
Initial Statement
defines an SQL
statement that will be executed when the connection to
MySQL is opened. You can use this to set MySQL options for
your connection, such as setting the default character set
or database to use during your connection.
The Advanced tab enables you to configure Connector/ODBC connection parameters. Refer to Sección 25.1.3.5, “Connector/ODBC Connection Parameters”, for information about the meaning of these options.
This section answers Connector/ODBC connection-related questions.
While configuring a Connector/ODBC
DSN, a Could Not Load Translator or Setup
Library
error occurs
For more information, refer to
MS
KnowledgeBase Article(Q260558). Also, make sure
you have the latest valid ctl3d32.dll
in your system directory.
On Windows, the default myodbc3.dll
is compiled for optimal performance. If you want to debug
Connector/ODBC 3.51 (for example, to enable tracing), you
should instead use myodbc3d.dll
. To
install this file, copy myodbc3d.dll
over the installed myodbc3.dll
file.
Make sure to revert back to the release version of the
driver DLL once you are done with the debugging because
the debug version may cause performance issues. Note that
the myodbc3d.dll
isn't included in
Connector/ODBC 3.51.07 through 3.51.11. If you are using
one of these versions, you should copy that DLL from a
previous version (for example, 3.51.06).
For MyODBC 2.50, myodbc.dll
and
myodbcd.dll
are used instead.
