don't use the sa account for a DSN.

you're potentially giving someone access to your entire database server -
not just that database, and with that, the potential to also affect your
database filesystem.

create a user in the security tab of the db server - allocate it to a
database and give it read priviledges.

Now use this use user for your DSN.
