Or choose Windows Integrated Login and connect to the database using an integrated login on Microsoft Windows. When you choose this option, your Windows user
ID and password are supplied to the SQL Anywhere integrated login mechanism. See Windows integrated logins.
Use the action Connect with an ODBC data source when you want to connect to a database using an ODBC data source.
When this action is chosen, the following options are available:
ODBC Data Source name
Select this option and type the ODBC data source name to connect to the database. On Windows, you can view a list of
data sources by clicking Browse.
Open The ODBC Data Source Administrator button
Click the Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator button to open the ODBC Data Source Administrator window where you can select an ODBC data source from the list of available data sources, create a new data source, or configure
an existing data source to use for the connection. See ODBC data sources.
ODBC Data Source file
Select this option and type the ODBC data source file name for the connection.
The ODBC data source file is often used for Unix systems. File data sources hold the same information as ODBC data sources
stored in the registry. See FileDataSourceName (FILEDSN) connection parameter.
Tip
Any information you enter in this Connect window, such as the user ID or password, is used instead of the parameters stored in an ODBC data source or an ODBC data
source file.
