Connecting to Data

1) I’m trying to connect to a cloud database and have connection issues because of restricted IP address.

Answer:
You'll need to specify Validatar Cloud's public IP address to allow access to connections. The public IP address for Validatar Cloud is 52.204.149.249

2) What connection string should I use to connect to the ODBC driver?

Answer:
For optimal connectivity, we recommend using Data Source Name (DSN) entries when configuring your ODBC driver connection. Your connection string should now include only the DSN reference, user, and password. This ensures a secure and straightforward connection. Here's an example connection string format:

DSN=Your_DSN_Name;UID=Your_Username;PWD=Your_Password;

Simply replace "Your_DSN_Name," "Your_Username," and "Your_Password" with the appropriate values for your setup. This approach enhances the manageability and security of your ODBC connections.
