This stands for Data Source Name. The DSN sets up the ODBC driver database connection. It includes the following information: database name, directory, database driver, UserID, password, and other things. Each DSN connects to a specific database and calls the information from its database.
The name of a data source that applications use to request a connection to the data source. For example, a data source name can be registered with ODBC through the ODBC Administrator program.
Data Source Name. The logical name used by ODBC to refer to the drive and other information required to access data. The name is use by Internet Information Server for a connection to an ODBC data source, such as a SQL Server database. To set this name, you double-click ODBC in the Control Panel.
A method defining the rate and format of digital hierarchy, with asynchronous data rates defined as follows
Data Source Name. A name given to a set of properties about a database connection. Typically the DSN contains the SQL Server database configuration for your e.Order store and location information, but not the user name or password.
Not be confused with DNS, a DSN, or Data Source Name, allows you to create a connection on your website to a DATABASE using only a few lines of code. This will let you display your database information, add to your database, delete from your database, etc., all from your website.
Data Source Name. The name that allows a connection to an ODBC data source, such as an SQL database. You set this name by using the ODBC application in Control Panel.
A Data Source Name is a piece of information that links an embedded database query to a specific database on a server. DSNs are stored in files on the users host server. DSNs are not always required; ASP allows "DSN-less" connections for example, which are extremely helpful because DSNs must be set up by the server administrator. An unresponsive ISP can therefore delay the activiation of your database if the DSN is not in place.
Data source name; the collection of information used to connect an application to a particular ODBC database.
Data Source Name. DSN stands for Data Source Name. Data Source can be a database, spreadsheet, text file etc. We assign DSN to a data source so that irrespective of the data source details and location, we can use that data source; add, modify or delete records, just by knowing its DSN.
data source name. the ODBC term used to describe all of the information needed to locate and access a particular source of data. The DSN includes the ODBC driver used to access the data, the location of the data, plus as any necessary authentication information (username and password) required to retrieve the data.(footnote 1)
ata ource ame] A DSN is only needed with MS Access databases, or with MS SQL via ODBC. You need to create a DSN before installing phpBB on Access. Usually, you should create a System DSN which points to the location where you have stored an unarchived copy of the ms_access_primer.mdb file (this is contained in the ms_access_primer.zip which can be found in db/schemas/). Whatever you call this DSN will need to be entered into the DSN/Database host field when installing. See also: Installing on MS Access 2000/XP, Database, MS Access, MS SQL, ODBC, Database server
See Data Source Name (DSN).
Data Source Name: the name and the path of a file.
The collection of information used to connect your application to a particular ODBC database. The ODBC Driver Manager uses this information to create a connection to the database. A DSN can be stored in a file (a file DSN) or in the Windows Registry (a machine DSN).
