As others have noted, this is database module dependent. The Python DB-API does not mandate a particular syntax for the DSN field, since databases typically have their own ideas of how to specify the data source, e.g. this may be a data source registered with an ODBC manager, a config file of a client lib, a plain host name or even a file name.
