Creating a ODBC for your database
Proastro do not use Borland database Engine anymore.
Direct call is used to Microsoft ODBC API (SqlConnect, SqlBindParameter and so on.)
You must configure ODBC for your database.
So you must have the ODBC drivers for your database installed on your computer.
- Run the 32bit ODBC administrator program.
- Click the DNS user tab (for local database).
- Click the Add button.
- Choose the driver to access your database. (for example Access driver if your database is an MS Access one)
- Give a name for the Data Source (Data Source name), for example astro_db
- Choose the Select button and browse your computer to find the database file (not always needed depends on the ODBC driver).
- Choose the Ok button when you have finished.
