Specify SQL Server Password in qConfigData


Question:

I am using the qconfigdata function to modify / create odbc connections for sql server. I know the user attribute is lastuser. I cant figure out how to assign the password with the attr.

Answer:

You might want to examine the documentation for the specific driver you are using. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/odbcsql/od_odbc_c_99yd.asp?frame=true

From what I can tell there is really no way to programmatically create a DSN with a password. Probably due to security restraints.

Please read:

Note: Maybe use the attribute 'Trusted_Connection=YES'. This causes the SQL server to use the Windows NT logged on user name and password.
