Getting details of an ODBC connection...

[NewsArchive]

I have a situation where during install I need to get the details
(server,login, etc.) of an EXISTING ODBC connection.

Suggestions? I'm only seeing things related to creating / deleting....

Paul,

Perhaps you can write a DLL and use the SQLGetConnectAttr Windows API
(please note that only some attributes are available to this function) or
SQLInfo (results may vary based on the version number of the connected
server).

For example, using SQL_SERVER_NAME in SQLInfo would return the connection's
server name.

HTH,
Friedrich

I was figuring that might be the way - but I wanted to make sure I wasn't
missing anything.....
