Before an application script can use information from a database, you must define

Data Sources (ODBC).
The ODBC Data Source Administrator window opens.
Click the System DSN tab.
The System DSN tab of the ODBC Data Source Administrator window opens.
To add a Data Source Name (DSN), click Add.
The Create New Data Source window opens.
Select the driver for which you want to set up a data source, and click Finish. As
an example, to create a DSN for Microsoft SQL Server, select SQL Server.
The Create a New Data Source to SQL Server window opens.
