ODBC
Overview Local & Client Configuration
  The PxPlus ODBC local driver and the Client component of the Client/Server driver are configured using the ODBC Data Source Administrator, which can be accessed via the Windows Control Panel (in the Administrative Tools subfolder), unless it is a 32-bit ODBC driver running on 64-bit Windows in which case it is configured using the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, which can be accessed via C:\Windows\SysWOW64:



This is where you define each database and set up associated configuration details; i.e.,
  • Data Source.
  • Directory containing a PxPlus Data Dictionary file providex.ddf.
  • INI file used when manually defined.
  • Company and User codes.
  • Options.

Either the data file directory or the INI file, (or both), must be defined. There must be at least one source for a Data Dictionary. If both have been specified, then the contents of both will be merged. Additional PxPlus IO Server settings are required for the client-server version of the driver:

  • Server Name or IP (e.g., LocalHost or 127.0.0.1)
  • TCP/IP Port (default: 20222).
