Re: DSN-less and oledb connection scrint for Informix using OpenLink

In the interest of saving space I've trimmed off the text of the response. Wouldn't these values just apply strictly to the IBM provider? Different providers have different required fields, correct? I've looked at the OpenLink documentation, but it seems to assume that everyone only uses either JDBC or is writing a C++ program. Let me ask my original question in a slightly different way. If I create a system DSN that works, could I directly extract the name of the fields and their values from my regististry. If so, is there any way of determining which fields are absolutely required and which are just default values that I can ignore?
