A cross-region database facilitates functionality that is used across more than one enterprise server region.
Specify the ODBC driver setup for the cross-region database:
Open the
.odbc.ini configuration file and add an entry for the cross-region database data source:
[PG.CROSSREGION]
Driver = <driver-name>
Servername = <server-name>
Port = <port-no>
Database = $XREGN$
where:
- <driver-name>
- Specifies the name of the driver as configured in the
odbcinst.ini file; in the example above, that would be PostgreSQL.
- <server-name>
- Specifies the name of the server on which the database instance resides.
- <port-no>
- Specifies the port on which the database is listening, typically 5432.
- $XREGN$
- Specifies the name of the cross-region database, and is always this value.
