This string includes the options used to connect with basic user ID and
password authentication.
Note: The strings demonstrated in this section use the DSN-less format. For
additional formats, see Using a connection string.
DRIVER=DataDirect 8.0 Aha;HostName=host_name;User=user_name;
Password=password;[attribute=value[;...]];
where:
- host_name
- specifies the URL of the Aha! service to which you want to issue requests. For
example,
mycompany.aha.io.
- user_name
- specifies the user name that is used to connect to your Aha! service.
- password
- specifies the password for the user connecting to your Aha! service.
- attribute=value
- specifies connection option settings. Multiple option attributes are separated by a semi-colon.
Note: The User and Password
options are not required to be stored in the connection string. They can also be sent
separately by the application using the SQLConnect ODBC API. For SQLDriverConnect and
SQLBrowseConnect, they will need to be specified in the connection string.
The following
example connection string includes the options required for connecting with basic user ID
and password authentication:
DRIVER=DataDirect 8.0 Aha;HostName=mycompany.aha.io;User=jsmith@mycompany.com;
Password=secret;
