Connection parameters
Synonym for ServerName. The name of a running database server to which you want to connect.
Network servers or running personal servers.
String
The default local database server.
EngineName is not needed if you wish to connect to the default local database server.
You need to supply an EngineName only if more than one local database server is running, or if you wish to connect to a network server. In the Connect dialog, and in the ODBC Administrator, this is the Server Name field.
The server name is interpreted according to the character set of the client machine. Multi-byte characters are not recommended in server names.
Names must be a valid identifier. Long engine names are truncated to different lengths depending on the protocol.
| Protocol | Truncation Length |
|---|---|
| Unix shared memory | 31 bytes |
| non-Unix shared memory | 40 bytes |
| TCP/IP | 40 bytes |
| SPX | 32 bytes |
| Named Pipes | 8 bytes |
