PDO_ODBC-DSN(3) 1 PDO_ODBC-DSN(3) PDO_ODBC DSN - Connecting to ODBC or DB2 databases The PDO_ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) is composed of the following elements: o DSN prefix - The DSN prefix is odbc:. If you are connecting to a database cataloged in the ODBC driver manager or the DB2 catalog, you can append the cataloged name of the database to the DSN. o DSN - The name of the database as cataloged in the ODBC driver manager or the DB2 catalog. Alternately, you can provide a complete ODBC connection string to connect to a database as described at http://www.connectionstrings.com/. o UID - The name of the user for the connection. If you specify the user name in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the user name argument in the PDO constructor. o PWD - The password of the user for the connection. If you specify the password in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the password argument in the PDO constructor. Example #1 PDO_ODBC DSN example (ODBC driver manager) The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to an ODBC database cataloged as testdb in the ODBC driver manager: odbc:testdb Example #2 PDO_ODBC DSN example (IBM DB2 uncataloged connection) The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to an IBM DB2 database named SAMPLE using the full ODBC DSN syntax: odbc:DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};HOSTNAME=localhost;PORT=50000;DATABASE=SAMPLE;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=db2inst1;PWD=ibmdb2; Example #3 PDO_ODBC DSN example (Microsoft Access uncataloged connection) The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to a Microsoft Access database stored at C:db.mdb using the full ODBC DSN syntax: odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\db.mdb;Uid=Admin PHP Documentation Group PDO_ODBC-DSN(3)
