After a new database is created, you must specify
connection parameters for the database server using one of two
options:
| 1.
|
Using DSN (data source name)
To open DSN manually, open the OBCD
Date Source Administrator
(Click Start > Run and type
odbcad32.exe).
Example of a DSN connection:
DSN =ERASqlServer
Important: The use of the
System DSN is recommended for ERA to
work properly.
To make the installation under MSSQL with Windows/Domain
authentication successful make sure you use DSN format when
entering the connection string.

| 2.
|
Directly, using a complete connection string
All required parameters must be specified driver, server and
name of database.
This is an example of a complete connection string for MS SQL
Server:
Driver ={SQL Server};
Server =hostname; Database =ESETRADB |
This is an example of a complete connection string for
Oracle Server:
Driver ={Oracle in instantclient10_1};
dbq =hostname: 1521/ESETRADB
This is an example of a complete connection string for
MySQL Server:
Driver ={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};
Server =hostname; Database =ESETRADB
Then set the Username and Password for the connection (the Set button). Oracle and MS SQL Server databases also
require a Schema Name (for MS SQL
Server this is usually the same as username).
Click Test Connection to verify
the connection to the database server.
Note: We recommend
using the database server authentication, instead of windows/domain
authentication.
