Hello, I am trying to configure DSN through my application, and nothing I tried seems to work. Here's what I am doing:
CString odbcDriverName = ""Oracle in OraHome90"
CString attributes = "DSN=OracleDRDB;HOST=localhost;PORT=1521;UID=system;PWD=Anil;SERVER=DRight;"
(SQLConfigDataSource(NULL, ODBC_ADD_SYS_DSN, odbcDriverName, attributes)),
datails:
1.Database process is running on localmachine.
2.I have a TNS Listener running, and was able to create a SystemDSN usinf ODBC DataSourceAdministrator dialog, but doesn't work when I try thro' my application. I am particularly NOT clear with key words in 'attributes' field
I get the error code as ODBC_ERROR_REQUEST_FAILED, when I tried SQLInstallerError(...) function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks/Anil.

i beleive SQLConfigDataSource is part of the installer API provided by Microsoft. does it use the Oracle ODBC driver??.
anyhow

actually my knowledge with anything that is not oracle is very very limited.
anyhow as per your posting
CString odbcDriverName = ""Oracle in OraHome90"
is this the driver Name?
i beleive you need to give a valid driver name.
example
CString odbcDriverName = "{Oracle ODBC Driver}"
and also do check your syntax for using curley brackets etc
( you have used double quotes twice )
