When you define an ODBC data source in PocketBuilder, each data source name must be unique. You can, however, define multiple data sources that access the same data, as long as the data sources have unique names.
For example, assume that your data source is an ASA database located in C:\ASA\SALES.DB. Depending on your application, you might want to specify different sets of connection parameters for accessing the database, such as different passwords and user IDs.
To do this, you can define two ODBC data sources named Sales1 and Sales2 that specify the same database (C:\ASA\SALES.DB) but use different user IDs and passwords. When you connect to the data source using a profile created for either of these data sources, you are using different connection parameters to access the same data.
