Configuring ODBC data sources
This section describes the meaning of each of the options on the ODBC
configuration dialog box, organized by tab.
ODBC tab
Data source name The Data Source Name is used to identify the ODBC
data source. You can use any descriptive name for the data source (spaces are
allowed) but it is recommended that you keep the name short, as you may need
to enter it in connection strings.
For more information, see the DataSourceName connection parameter in the
Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual.
Description You can enter an optional longer description of the Data
Source.
Translator Choose Adaptive Server IQ 12.0 Translator if your database
uses an OEM code page. If your database uses an ANSI code page, which is
the default, leave this unchecked.
Isolation level The isolation level for an IQ data source is always
effectively 3. However, the default Catalog Store isolation level is 0.
For more information, see “Isolation levels” on page 302.
