ODBC is the abbreviation of Open DataBase Connectivity, which is a standard software interface to interact with different Databases.

RadiMation® is often using an ODBC connection to retrieve information from an external database. For example the customer database within RadiMation® can be configured to use an ODBC connection. Most database management systems (like MySQL) provide an ODBC driver, which makes it possible to connect RadiMation® through the ODBC layer with all of those databases.

Each ODBC connection has some specific parameters for the database connection. These specific database connection parameters can be configured in the ODBC driver for that specific database. The configuration of the ODBC driver can then be stored as a Data Source, which is a configured ODBC database connection.

An explanation of how to use the ODBC text-database driver is available on the ODBC text setup page.

An explanation of the MySQL ODBC driver is available on the: MySQL Connector/ODBC Data Source Configuration page.
