Hi,
To connect to an ODBC source you first must go to the ODBC control panel
(not a part of REBOL) and make an alias for the database you want to have
available. Then it is as simple as:
>> myDB: open odbc://myDB
>>
Then if you need a username and password:
>> myDB: open odbc://username:password@myDB
