Creating a DSN-Less Connection

Some ODBC tools support connecting to an ODBC server without using a data source name (DSN). This is known as a DSN-less connection.

This section lists the parameters you have to use to create a DSN-less connection to Virtual DataPort.

DSN-less connection from a 64-bit client. No SSL
DRIVER={DenodoODBC Unicode(x64)};UID=<user account>;PWD=<password of the user>;SERVER=<host name>;DATABASE=<database name>;PORT=9996;SSLmode=disable;service=;krbsrvname=HTTP;ReadOnly=0;Protocol=7.4-1;FakeOidIndex=0;ShowOidColumn=0;RowVersioning=0;ShowSystemTables=0;ConnSettings=set+i18n+to+us%5fpst%3b;Fetch=100;Socket=4096;UnknownSizes=0;MaxVarcharSize=255;MaxLongVarcharSize=8190;Debug=0;CommLog=0;Optimizer=0;Ksqo=0;UseDeclareFetch=1;TextAsLongVarchar=1;UnknownsAsLongVarchar=0;BoolsAsChar=0;Parse=0;CancelAsFreeStmt=0;ExtraSysTablePrefixes=dd_;LFConversion=1;UpdatableCursors=0;DisallowPremature=0;TrueIsMinus1=0;BI=0;ByteaAsLongVarBinary=0;UseServerSidePrepare=0;LowerCaseIdentifier=0;PreferLibpq=1;GssAuthUseGSS=0;XaOpt=3
DSN-less connection from a 32-bit client. No SSL
DRIVER={DenodoODBC Unicode};UID=<user account>;PWD=<password of the user>;SERVER=<host name>;DATABASE=<database name>;PORT=9996;PWD=;SSLmode=disable;service=;krbsrvname=HTTP;ReadOnly=0;Protocol=7.4-1;FakeOidIndex=0;ShowOidColumn=0;RowVersioning=0;ShowSystemTables=0;ConnSettings=set+i18n+to+us%5fpst%3b;Fetch=100;Socket=4096;UnknownSizes=0;MaxVarcharSize=255;MaxLongVarcharSize=8190;Debug=0;CommLog=0;Optimizer=0;Ksqo=0;UseDeclareFetch=1;TextAsLongVarchar=1;UnknownsAsLongVarchar=0;BoolsAsChar=0;Parse=0;CancelAsFreeStmt=0;ExtraSysTablePrefixes=dd_;LFConversion=1;UpdatableCursors=0;DisallowPremature=0;TrueIsMinus1=0;BI=0;ByteaAsLongVarBinary=0;UseServerSidePrepare=0;LowerCaseIdentifier=0;PreferLibpq=1;GssAuthUseGSS=0;XaOpt=3

About the examples above:

  • To use the examples above, replace <user account>, <password of the user>, <host name> and <database name>. If you changed the default ODBC port, replace 9996 with the actual ODBC port of Virtual DataPort.

  • Note that the value of the property DRIVER has to be {DenodoODBC Unicode} or {DenodoODBC Unicode(x64)} depending on if you are creating the connection from a 32-bit client or a 64-bit one, respectively.

  • To enable SSL, replace SSLmode=disable with SSLmode=require. If you do this, you have to also enable SSL in the Virtual DataPort server. If you do not, the connection will fail.

  • To use Kerberos authentication:

    1. Remove the parameters UID and PWD.

    2. The value of the property SERVER has to be the fully qualified domain name of the Denodo server. That is, if in the Denodo server, in the Kerberos configuration, the field Server principal is HTTP/denodo-prod.subnet1.contoso.com@CONTOSO.COM, enter denodo-prod.subnet1.contoso.com.

    3. In the settings of the database you are connecting to, you have to enable Kerberos authentication.

Note

Do not leave any space between the names of parameters, the equal symbol, the values, the semicolon, etc.
