CDatabase's connect string

[prithaa]

Hello, If I have to provide CDatabase class with the connect string which gives me access to a database at the server or a PC then what should be my connect string (CString )? What info about the PC on the internet should I have ex port address, IP address etc? Prithaa

You can provide the connection information with either the CDatabase or the CRecordset object. A UNC path will be just fine.

Also, connect strings can vary by driver. For example - Using Connection String Keywords with SQL Native Client[^]

I think you have to configure the proper ODBC first. And then provide the information in CDatabase::Open() function
