Progress: ODBC Driver Configuration

In order to connect to the Progress database through ODBC, it should be connected to your server.

Learn how to connect your database to the server. To set up an ODBC connection you need to install the ODBC driver that is included in the installation package of Progress OpenEdge.

After the installation is completed, open your ODBC Data Sources Administrator and see the Progress OpenEdge Driver, as shown in the image below.

At the tab “System DSN” press on button “Add”, select the driver and click on the “Finish” button.

After that a window with connection settings will be opened, such as the Data Source Name, Host Name, Port Number, Database Name, User ID.

An example of this window is shown in the image below:

After you have specified your values, check the connection using “Test Connect” button.

Enter the password in the dialog box that corresponds to the user specified in the User ID.

If the Test Connect have not returned an error, it means that the ODBC connection has been created and can be used to connect to the database.
