Harold,
Can you give your environments as this will make the replies easier and more
to the point.
What is your Universe running on?
What is your "sql" server running on?
For my clarification .. you said ...
"I am simply trying to read data from a SQL Server database into
Universe..."
I am getting from this that you want to connect to a server (MS Sql so on
windows?) and simply access data from the server. Not the other way around.
I just want to be clear about this as some of the replys don't seem to go
this way.

Subject: [U2] Reading data from an SQL Server Database from Universe
From: "Oaks, Harold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I am simply trying to read data from a SQL Server database into
Universe.
It's all supposed to be explained in the document "BASIC SQL Client
Interface Guide", but am missing one key point, it seems...
One defines the ODBC data source in the uvodbc.config file. According
to the documentation the only information one puts into this parameter
file are data source name and dbms type. For example:
<mysqldb>
DBMSTYPE = ODBC
are two lines in this file. This says the data source name is 'mysqldb'
and it's an ODBC type of database. OKfine.
That's it! For sources which are Universe databases, one also enters a
service type and host. That makes sense.
Well - the SQL Server database I am interested in reading is on another
server. WHERE do I specify the name of the server and the database name?
Is it even possible in Universe to connect to a SQL Server database on
another server?
Thanks for any help on this.
