<li>To configure an ODBC DSN, run the OpenLink iODBC Administrator located in the /Applications/iODBC folder.</li>
<li>Click the <strong>System DSN</strong> tab.</li>
<li>Click the <strong>Add</strong> button. Then, select the <strong>OpenLink Oracle Lite Driver</strong> from the list of available drivers.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Finish</strong>.</li>
<li>The <strong>Data Source</strong> tab prompts for information that identifies the Oracle database server and listen port.
<ul>
<li><strong>DSN:</strong> A brief and meaningful title for your Data Source Name</li>
<li><strong>Description:</strong> An optional description for your Data Source Name</li>
<li><strong>Oracle Directory:</strong> Provides the full path to your local Oracle or Oracle client installation</li>
<li><strong>Connection String:</strong> Your Oracle connection URL. Takes the following form:<br>//oracle_server_ip_address:oracle_listening_port/oracle_SID<br>For example:<br>//openhp2.OpenLinksw.com:1521/ORCL</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Continue</strong>.</li>
<li>The <strong>Connection</strong> tab takes a combination of required and optional parameters to make a connection to the target database:
<ul>
<li><strong>Username:</strong> A Oracle username</li>
<li><strong>Row Buffer Size:</strong> This attribute specifies the number of records to be transported over the network in a single network hop. Values can range from 1 to 99.</li>
<li><strong>Hide Login Dialog:</strong> Suppresses the ODBC "Username" and "Password" login dialog boxes when interacting with your ODBC DSN from within an ODBC compliant application.</li>
<li><strong>Read Only connection:</strong> Specifies whether the connection is "Read-only." Make sure the checkbox is unchecked to request a "Read/Write" connection.</li>
<li><strong>OCIPrefetchRows:</strong> Sets the number of rows to be prefetched.</li>
<li><strong>OCIPrefetchMemory:</strong> Sets the memory allocated for rows to be pre-fetched.</li>
<li><strong>SQL_DBMS Name:</strong> Manually overrides the SQLGetInfo(SQL_DBMS_NAME) response returned by the driver. This is required for products like Microsoft InfoPath for which the return value should be "SQL Server".</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Continue</strong> to view additional preferences that can be set for the connection.</li>
<li>The third tab contains settings that are not required for a basic connection:
<ul>
<li><strong>Initialization SQL:</strong> Lets you specify a file containing SQL statements that will be run automatically against the database upon connection.</li>
<li><strong>Cursor Sensitivity:</strong> Enables or disables the row version cache used with dynamic cursors.</li>
<li><strong>Max Rows Override:</strong> Allows you to define a limit on the maximum number of rows to be returned from a query. The default value of 0 means no limit.</li>
<li><strong>Show Remarks:</strong> Affects output from the SQLColumns() ODBC API call.</li>
<li><strong>Disable autocommit:</strong> Changes the default commit behavior of the OpenLink driver. The default mode is AutoCommit (box unchecked).</li>
<li><strong>Disable rowset size limit:</strong> Removes OpenLink's default 100 rowset restriction.</li>
<li><strong>Defer fetching of long data:</strong> Defers fetching of LONG (BINARY, BLOB, etc.) data unless explicitly requested in a query. This provides significant performance increases when fields in the query do not include LONG data fields.</li>
<li><strong>Always include VIEWS in table list:</strong></li>
<li><strong>Always include all types in table list:</strong></li>
<li><strong>Custom Catalogue Views:</strong> Dictates whether custom OpenLink views are used to return metadata for certain ODBC catalog functions: SQLForeignKeys(), SQLPrimaryKeys(), SQLProcedureColumns(), SQLProcedures(), and SQLSpecialColumns(). These custom views provide more metadata than is normally provided by the standard Oracle data dictionary views.</li>
<li><strong>User's own tables first in SQLTables:</strong> This option is specific to OpenLink's Oracle drivers. It prompts the SQLTables() ODBC API call to display the connected user's tables first in table lists. The default ordering is alphabetical.</li>
<li><strong>Count stored procedure parameters in SQL Procedures:</strong> This parameter is specific to the Oracle data source. It affects the output from SQLProcedures() when "Custom Catalog Views" is enabled.</li>
