Created ODBC Connection String (markdown)

+Izenda Reports requires that a .NET provider and associated connection string be used. This means that a .NET provider of some kind must be installed to access your database (e.g. Oracle.Net, MySQL.net provider, etc). The provider will usually be installed on the web server (Microsoft IIS 5 or higher) that hosts the Izenda Reports application. This will allow Izenda Reports to access the ADO.NET provider for the database that formerly used an ODBC connection. Please note that installing a provider should not change any existing ODBC functionality, but it is always best to check with the provider vendor for full details.

+Izenda Reports must use this provider since ODBC is a generic provider, and Izenda Reports requires that a special built-in account, "NETWORK SERVICE", has access to the database meta-data through IIS. This can not occur when using a generic ODBC provider. Once the provider is installed, you will need to use a connection string that is compatible with it. Please see your provider documentation for details.
