In order for Apama to communicate with your database using an ODBC-JDBC bridge, you must have an ODBC driver for your database. Most databases that run on Microsoft Windows come standard with an ODBC driver. You must also register your database with ODBC before accessing it from Apama. The name specified for the ODBC data source name during the ODBC driver setup is the name you will use when accessing the database from Apama.

Apama includes several ODBC database drivers that eliminate the need to install database-vendor-supplied drivers. For more information, see Setting up SQL database connections.
