Opening MariaDB Databases

In Database Tour, you can connect MariaDB databases in the following ways:

1. Opening through ODBC DSN. Create (if it does not exist yet) an ODBC DSN of the corresponding type using Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator, and point it to your database. Then:

- Select FD interface, click ODBC, then point the Data source parameter to the ODBC DSN by selecting it from the drop-down list.

or

- Select ADO or BDE interface, then choose ODBC data source option and then select the needed ODBC DSN from the drop-down list.

Notes

1. MariaDB client must be installed. The bit-version of it (32 or 64) must match the bit-version of the application.
2. Please make sure the corresponding ODBC driver installed and the bit-version of it matches the bit-version of the application (32 or 64).

Hints

• Each Database Tour edition has both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You can install both and use them depending on what type of database you need to work with.
• You can invoke the ODBC Data Source Administrator directly from Database Tour when it was launched in administrator mode. In Connect / Open Data Source window, switch to ADO, then click ODBC Sources... button.
