Connect to Your Database

Once the ODBC driver is installed and configured, you can make a connection between the workstation and the database, using any application that supports ODBC connectivity.

Warning: ODBC queries are the customer's responsibility. It is possible that a poorly written query could have a negative impact on performance. This is not Deltek's responsibility, and the user who owns the ODBC active account must not overlook this.

To connect to the database:

  1. Go to the application from which you want to connect to the database and initiate an ODBC connection.
  2. Select the data source that you entered in the Data Source field in Step 6 of the Install and Configure instructions.
  3. Enter your credentials for the database connection.
  4. Build a query (using the Query Wizard in Office).
  5. Execute the query.
