Remarks
Use this Connector to query non-Microsoft SQL databases. Note that many older SQL engines still run in a 32bit address space which means that the 32bit ODBC Data Source Manager (%windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe ) and 32bit DropPoint must be used.
Refer to Integrating with SQL Databases for additional information and connection strings.
