title: ODBC Connection Setup in Java
body: <p>I want to write a Java program that automates the work that the ODBC Data Source Administrator does in Windows.</p>
  
  <p>That is, given an ODBC connection name and a path to the database on the hard drive, I want it to create the connection.</p>
  
  <p>I really have no idea where to even begin with this.  I looked at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714177(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> but it said it was for C and I don't think that's very helpful.  If anyone could point me in the right direction for this at all, I would appreciate it.</p>
  
  <p>(I realize this question is REALLY vague, but that's all the information I was given.)</p>
