Creating an ODBC Data Source

Executing the example requires the database MS ACCESS with the name db1.mdb. The database contains a table with the Instruction name.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    CrInfo: IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo;
    ODBC: IOdbcDataset;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    CrInfo := MB.CreateCreateInfo;
    CrInfo.ClassID := MetabaseObjectClass.KE_CLASS_ODBC_DS;
    CrInfo.Id := "NewODBCDataset";
    CrInfo.Name := "New ODBC data source";
    CrInfo.Parent := MB.Root;
    ODBC := MB.CreateObject(CrInfo).Edit As IOdbcDataset;
    ODBC.Catalog := "C:\db1.mdb";
    ODBC.DataSource := "MS Access database";
    ODBC.DataSourceName := "Instruction";
    (ODBC As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example, a new ODBC data source is created in repository root. This source is set up to access the Instruction data table, contained in the database MS ACCESS.
