ODBC Driver Connect Dialogs

Many ODBC applications use the DriverConnect dialogs to connect to data sources. If your application uses them, the CA IDMS DriverConnect dialogs let you connect to an existing data source, or, in some cases, to connect dynamically to a data source that has not been previously defined.

Although the JDBC driver uses the same types of information, it does not display any dialogs, leaving the collection of such information to the JDBC application.

Note: For more information about connecting to a data source using JDBC, see the chapter "JDBC Programmer Reference."
