The Dev Studio does not look for a file with data sources, it actually calls
the odbc driver manager.  This in turn returns a list of user data sources.
Depending on the odbc driver manager you are using the list of user data
sources could be in one of the following locations:

If you used the default installation without Openlinks iodbc installed, the
Dev Studio will use the default iodbc driver manager shipped with OS X.
Look in these files ~/.odbc.ini or ~/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini

If you have installed Openlinks iodbc driver manager, look in
~/Library/Preferences/ODBC.Preference.

You may also like to set ODBCINI environment variables in you
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist like this which may make it easier predict where
the odbc.ini file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM
"file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
<dict>
    <key>ODBCINI</key>
    <string>~/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini</string>
</dict>
</plist>

There are also more information on our observations of iodbc's behaviour in
the Readme screen of the Dev Studio installer.

iodbc is still a bit un-Mac like, but we are working with Apple to find ways
to make it more user friendly and predictable.
