ODBC Connection Properties

Use an ODBC connection to access tables in a database through ODBC.
The following table describes the ODBC connection properties:
Property
Description
User name
Database user name.
Password
Password for the user name.
Pass-through Security Enabled
When enabled, the Data Integration Service connects to a database through ODBC with the client user credentials instead of the credentials from a connection object. By default, this option is not selected.
Data Access Connect String
Connection string to connect to the database.
Code Page
Database code page.
Environment SQL
Optional. Enter SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service executes the connection environment SQL each time it connects to the database.
Transaction SQL
Optional. Enter SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service executes the transaction environment SQL at the beginning of each transaction.
SQL identifier character to use
The type of character used to identify special characters and reserved SQL keywords, such as WHERE. The Data Integration Service places the selected character around special characters and reserved SQL keywords. The Data Integration Service also uses this character for the Support mixed case identifiers property.
Support mixed case identifiers
When enabled, the Data Integration Service places identifier characters around table, view, schema, synonym, and column names when generating and executing SQL against these objects in the connection. Use if the objects have mixed-case or lowercase names. By default, this option is not selected.
ODBC Provide
Type of database that ODBC connects to. For pushdown optimization, specify the database type to enable the Data Integration Service to generate native database SQL.
