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 you wish to connect to a network server.
In the Sybase Central and Interactive SQL Connect dialog box, 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. It must be a valid identifier, and long engine names are truncated to
40 characters. On NetBIOS, 16 characters is the maximum length.
♦ Connect to a server named Guelph:
ENG=Guelph
EncryptedPassword connection parameter [ENP]
To provide a password, stored in an encrypted fashion in a data source.
Anywhere
None
Data sources are stored on disk as a file or in the registry. Storing passwords
on disk may present a security problem. For this reason, when you enter a
password into a data source, it is stored in an encrypted form.
If both Password and EncryptedPassword are specified, Password takes
precedence.
Encryption connection parameter [ENC]
To encrypt packets sent between the client application and the server.
Anywhere
Boolean
No encryption
You can use this parameter if you are concerned about the security of
network packets. Encryption does affect performance marginally.
