| MySQL allows the user to select between two different kinds of 'how |

| existing MyODBC<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote1anc" HREF="#sdfootnote1sym"><SUP>1</SUP></A> |
| data source which must be defined in the used system. The second kind |

| the first group box the user can select which kind of connection he |
| would like to use. Either an existing ODBC data source which must be |
| defined in the used system or to connect to the database via the JDBC |
| interface. To allow the user to specify different driver classes, an |
| extra edit field is enabled when the JDBC was selected, where the |
| name of the driver class can be inserted<A CLASS="sdfootnoteanc" NAME="sdfootnote3anc" HREF="#sdfootnote3sym"><SUP>3</SUP></A>. |
| In the second group box information about the data source, the user |
| name, if a password is required and which character set the MySQL |
| server should use, can be defined. The URL field contains different |
| meaning depending on the type of connection. In the case of ODBC, it |
| contains the name of the ODBC data source; in the case of JDBC it |
| contains the host name, a port number and the database name. To give |
| the user a hint, the URL field will contain a default value for a |
| JDBC kind of connection, where the user has to substitute only the |
| fields in the brackets.</FONT></P> |
