Explain how to create a Data Source.

In database terms, a data source is a specific set of data, and we can have one or more data sources active in our application at one time.

Creating an Oracle ODBC data source is much simpler than a MSSQL ODBC. The only thing that we need to keep in mind is the use of ODBC data sources for Oracle usually requires an Oracle client to be installed.

Steps involved are:

  • Select the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle, or the Oracle Client ODBC driver.
  • Set the Data Source Name which is the VODBC name that is referred to in the vconfig.txt files. Here the Username property is optional.
