2 Connection Attributes

You specify the connection attributes defined for TimesTen in the connection string.

The ODBC standard defines four connection attributes:

  • DSN

  • Driver

  • UID

  • PWD

For a description of the ODBC definition of these attributes, see the appropriate ODBC manual for your platform:

  • Microsoft ODBC 3.0 Programmer's Reference and SDK Guide

  • Microsoft ODBC 2.0 Programmer's Reference and SDK Guide

To view the names and values of most attributes specified in the connection string, use the ttConfiguration built-in procedure with your application.

Note:

According to the ODBC standard, when an attribute occurs multiple times in a connection string, the first value specified is used, not the last value.

On Windows, False means the check box is unchecked and True means the check box is checked.

On UNIX and Linux systems, False means the attribute value is set to 0 and True means the attribute value is set to 1.
