ODBC Driver
The ODBC Driver is installed on Windows machines along with c-tree if the proper option is checked. See the Installing on Windows chapter for details.
After the installation, you can create a DSN by following these steps:
1. Open Control Panel, Administrative Tools, ODBC Data Sources
2. Switch between User and System pages depending on the type of DSN you wish to create.
3. Click on ADD button
4. Choose "FairCom ODBC Driver" from the list of drivers
The following panel will appear:
Fill it in as follows:
• Data Source Name: name of the DSN. It's the name that will be used by ODBC clients to reach the datasource.
• Description: optional commentary info for the DSN.
• Host: IP address or server name of the pc in which c-tree Server is started.
• Database: name of the database (i.e. "ctreeSQL”).
• User ID: name of the user (i.e. "admin”).
• Password: password of the user (i.e. "ADMIN”)
Remaining fields should not be modified.
On other platforms, the ODBC Driver is provided as a shared library that you can link to your ODBC client program. The library is stored under drivers/sql.odbc in the c-tree directory.
