Not to my mind as ODBC relies upon an intermediary service to actually make the connection. I don't use ODBC mainly because I would typically have to purchase an agent for whatever database engine I am trying to connect to, and that has typically been a non-starter for any in house projects I want to use.
That being said, I believe it is the only way Livecode can communicate with a Microsoft SQL server, as well as Access, FoxPro, Excel etc. Bob S > On Jul 3, 2019, at 07:42 , Dalton Calford via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Is it possible to connect to a database without a predefined DSN using the > livecode database connector? > > best regards > > Dalton _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
