This example creates a connection file and applies it to the current document. The data source name in this example is PlutoSQLSVR which is a user DSN using the SQL Server 6.5 driver:

var myCon = Application.CreateConnection()
myCon.Description = "This OCE configures the connection via ODBC, to a SQLServer 6.5 database named pluto.".Api = bqApiOpenClient
myCon.Database = bqDatabaseSQLServer
myCon.HostName ="PlutoSQLSVR"
myCon.EnableAsyncProcess = true
myCon.SaveAs("d:\\OCEs\\PlutoSQL.oce")

//Now use this connection in a data model
ActiveDocument.Sections["Query"].DataModel.Connection.Open
("d:\\OCEs\\PlutoSQL.oce")

Example 2:

This example shows how to derive the host name for the connection:

Console.Writeln(ActiveDocument.Sections["Query"].DataModel.Connection.HostName)
