Review Preinstallation Documentation: OpenLink .NET Data Provider for ODBC Pre-Installation Requirements

Installation

The OpenLink .NET Data Provider for ODBC for .NET CLR is currently distributed as a single .dll.

Simply download the .dll and place it in the folder from which your .NET application runs.

Configuration

Ensure that you have obtained your OpenLink license file. Place this license in the same directory as the .dll.

There is no additional configuration involved, unless you placed your .dll in a non-standard location. If you did not place your .dll in the directory from which your .NET application runs, you need to ensure that your Global Assembly Cache environment variable passes the directory that contains the .dll.

Connection String: DSN=;UID=;PWD=;

DSN = A local ODBC Data Source Name
UID = Username associated with Data Source Name
PWD = Password associated with Data Source Name
