To connect to CData Connect, you can use either a DSN or an ODBC connection string. Both of these methods use the odbc_connect function.

Connect to a DSN

To connect using a DSN:

$cnx = odbc_connect("Connect Sys", "", "");

Provide a Driver Connection String

To connect using an ODBC connection string:

$cnx = odbc_connect("DRIVER={ODBC Driver for CData Connect};AuthScheme=basic;URL=http://hostname:port/rest.rsc;User=my_user;Password=my_password;", "", "");
