Hi Marc - for those of us without access to ODBC toolsets, can you illustrate an example of how this URL would look ? Using DSN within the "host" section seems fine to me, as long as it can be disambiguated from other non-DSN tokens that might be present there (i.e., when using pyodbc or mxODBC, is a DSN the *only* kind of host identifier you'd ever use?) - mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
