I know, I know... ODBC is not the preferred method to connecting to databases. With that said, I'm wondering if anyone has run into this issue before?
The actual data source name is "edw", which I have setup as a system DSN and it tests fine in the Mysql Connector interface (v5.1 Driver). If I remove the name, put in a dummy name, it throws the same error. So, I think the "name too long" is not the real issue at hand.
Is there something more that needs to be done?
Again, I can get it to work as JDBC but I have a specific need for using ODBC.
Code:
Error connecting to database [edw] : org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException:
Error occured while trying to connect to the database
Error connecting to database: (using class sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name too long
