Hi,

I'm trying to use different ODBC drivers when using an SQL query.

E.g.
SQL SQLODBC
SELECT
...
END

By doing this, only the first ODBC data source is chosen.

Is there a command to chose the datasource you want to use.

I'm new to WebFocus as well but I do know that we also wanted to access multiple datasources. We've found that we need to add code to a file that is created with the master. Someone more technical may be able to explain the reason why but I know this has worked for our shop.


For each master created a second file .acx is created in the same directory as the master. Open this file in notepad and add the SERVER= line to your code..... with your information.......

SEGNAME=GLACK ,
TABLENAME=AFS.GLACK,
SERVER=DBADEPT,
KEYS=0
,$

Hope this helps and if I've stated anything incorrectly maybe someone else will jump in and correct me.....
 
Try this in a fex when you sart a session or at any time in a focexec when you need it :

SQL SQLODBC SET USER ODBC1
SQL SQLODBC SET USER ODBC2
SQL SQLODBC SET USER ODBC3
-RUN;


where THE ODBC1/2/3 are DSNAMES implemented via Control Panel / Data Source(odbc) in Windows
