Glossary
Clear Password Since connections are transient, there is no concept of logging on or logging off. The analog of logon is
making a system usable by entering the correct settings. The analog of logoff is making a system unusable
by clearing its password (or invalidating any of its other settings). Clear Password is used when you want
the GUI running, but deny continued access to that system without having to remove the system.
connection When a user interaction requires interaction with a system the relevant code uses the connection definition
for that system to transparently establish one or more ODBC connections as needed.
Connection
Definition A user-named set of all of the information required to construct an ODBC connection string: server data
source, username, password, server IP address or DNS name, port number, default schema, and ODBC
driver version.
