DSN not appearning in manager to import table def

Ragunathan Gunasekaran · Fri Mar 20, 2009 7:20 am

Hi ,
I have added the entries for the New DSN that i am going to use in the path $DSHOME/.odbc.ini and i have added an entry in the file $DSHOME/uvodbc.config. After adding all these the DSN name is not appearing in the DSN list while i try to import the table definition in the manager.

Should i carry on some additional tasks.

I remember this behavior from some years back. It is very picky about syntax/formatting in order to appear in the drop down list... I have no recollection of what it was picky about though. Even when it doesn't appear in the drop down, you can type in the name and it will work.

Hi ,
The drop down is a pick list and its not allowing me to enter the DSN in the import wizard.

The uvodbc.config changes need to be made in the project.

The drop-down list is populated from DSNs from which table definitions have been imported and for which, as a result, an entry appears in the uvodbc.config file in the project.

You can also manually edit the uvodbc.config file in the project to include the DSN.
