---+ Linking ODBC-accessible Database Objects into Virtuoso
---++ Steps
1 Start the Virtuoso Web User Interface.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtWebHome.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Select the *Conductor* link in the left frame and login as the *dba* user.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtConductor.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Select the *Databases* -> *External Data Source* -> *Data Sources* tab menu items.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC1.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Select the *Connect* button for the *odbcma* ODBC to ODBC Bridge DSN.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC2.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 On succesful connection, select the *Link Objects* button to obtain a list of available tables.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC3.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Select all the tables that are part of the *Northwind* catalog.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC4.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Change the Catalog for each table to be *NWIND* using the *Set All* button.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC5.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 All the catalog names are changed to be *NWIND*.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC6.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Select the *Link* button to link the selected tables into Virtuoso.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC7.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 On completion of the link process, the tables will be displayed in the *External Linked Objects* tab.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC8.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 The linked tables can be queried by clicking on the hyperlink in the *Local Name* column of the *External Linked Objects* tab above. This loads the Virtuoso *Interactive SQL* interface with the required SQL *Select* for retrieving the remote table data. We shall use the *NWIND.odbcma.Customers* table to demonstrate this.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC10.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 Click the *Execute* button to run the query and retrieve the results from the remote table.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC11.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
1 The tables can also be viewed as part of the Virtuoso *SQL Schema Objects* under the *NWIND* catalog name.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/VirtLinkODBC9.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
The link process is now complete, enabling the tables to be queried as if local to the Virtuoso instance.
