Obtaining Data Source Objects

The ODBC Provider supports creating an initialized data source object through a file moniker:

• Create a file moniker (.dsn file). A .dsn file contains connection information.
  
  
• Bind to this file moniker, asking for IID_IDBInitialize. This returns an uninitialized data source object.

A data source object can also be obtained through CoCreateInstance using the CLSID MSDASQL.
