Get-OdbcDsn

Retrieves one or more ODBC data source names (DSNs) from the system that match the value passed to the Name, DsnType, Platform, and DriverName parameters. If the Name or DriverName parameter is not specified, the default is to match all DSN names and all driver names respectively. If no parameters are provided, retrieves all ODBC DSNs from the system.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Get1
Get-OdbcDsn [[-Name] <String> ] [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession> ] [-DriverName <String> ] [-DsnType <String> ] [-Platform <String> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-CimSession<CimSession>

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Examples

 

This command gets all ODBC User DSN(s) and System DSN(s) that are using 32-bit or 64-bit ODBC drivers:


PS C:\> Get-OdbcDsn

 

This command gets the ODBC System DSN(s) named as "MyPayroll" which is stored in the 32-bit registry location. The Name parameter is positioned at 0:


PS C:\> Get-OdbcDsn "MyPayroll" -DsnType System -Platform 32-bit

 

This command gets all ODBC User DSN(s) and System DSN(s) with name matches the wildcard and which is stored in the native hive of the registry location:


PS C:\> Get-OdbcDsn -Name "*Payroll*"

 

This command gets all ODBC User DSN(s) that is using a driver with a name matching the above wildcard. It also saves the result into a PowerShell variable for future use:


PS C:\> $dsnArray = Get-OdbcDsn -DriverName "SQL Server*"
