ODBC connections

ODBC connections

Create an ODBC connection to read data from
and write data to
 any application that is ODBC compliant.
You can use ODBC connections in mappings
,
synchronization
 tasks
,
mapping
 tasks, and data transfer tasks. When you create the system DSN, you must specify the data source name and the connect string. Choose a database driver that is compatible with the database to which you want to connect.
If you use the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver for an ODBC connection and you select a MySQL target that has a column with a Double data type, an error similar to the following is displayed: 
Column [A1_NUMBER_18_0] has scale greater than precision.
To resolve the error, upgrade to the MySQL ODBC 5.1 driver.
Before you configure an ODBC connection in
Data Integration
, you must create a system Data Source Name (DSN).
