Enumerating the list of DSN's set up on a computer

荒凉一梦 提交于 2019-12-03 08:50:57

The DSN entries are stored in the registry in the following keys.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources

This contains the list of all defined DSN. This acts as an global index and the specific details for each DSN are stored in a key with the DSN name under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI

Create some entries in both User DSN and System DSN tabs from Data Sources (ODBC) control panel applet and check how these values are stored in the registry.

The following example enumerate the DSN defined for the user trough Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) [User Dsn Tab].

You can use the SQLDataSources function of the ODBC API. See MSDN documentation.

Extremely cool solution. I ran into an issue where CURRENT_USER wasn't showing all the DSN's, certainly not the one I needed. I changed it to LOCAL_MACHINE and saw all DSN's that showed up in the Connection Manager, including the subset that showed up under CURRENT_USER.
