Yes! Matthias!
That worked! Thanks. On the Mac one can connect to FileMaker 11 Server with
this
put "Driver={FileMaker
ODBC};Server=localhost;Database=;UID=;PWD=;"
into tString
put revOpenDatabase("ODBC", tString, "", "", "") into tData
I have not tested this with PCs yet. But I'll bet somethi

Hi,

Hi Todd,
do you want to connect to an ODBC data source w/o creating a DSN in ODBC
Manager/Administrator on Win/Mac?
If so, there was a discussion in October 2010 in this list with the topic "Does
revDB support FileDSN or Connection Strings?"
The following is an example which should work under
So the PHP DSNLess Connection string syntax doesn't work for
revOpenDatabase. Too bad.
But if PHP can do it on both mac and windows it must be possible. The
syntax looks like this
"Driver={};Server=;Database="
That can be substituted for a DSN in php

I am on a Mac but it needs to be Xplat.
I don't think you *need* a DSN on either platform. My evidence is that PHP
doesn't require it.
the PHP function odbc_connect() can use either a DSN or a DSN-less
connection string can be used.

hmm maybe

I played around with this a long time ago, because I didn't want to futz with
mySQL (didn't know how at the time). I gave up and was forced to use mySQL
because ODBC was so terribly unreliable and difficult to configure on a Mac if
you didn't already know what you were doing. I do not think you

Hello,
I am experimenting with a generic an ODBC datasource. I can connect using
revOpenDatabase and DSN, but I would really like to ditch the DSN. Does any
one know if this is possible? I have tried to just enter the host and port,
but somehow you need to specify the driver. I did install the d
