How do I run ODBC on 32-bit?

Open the Command Prompt, or press the WIN + R keys to open the Run dialog box. Type odbcad32 and press Enter. If you’re running Windows 10 64-bit, this should launch ODBC Data Source (64-bit). Otherwise, it will open ODBC Data Source (32-bit) instead.

How do I create a 32-bit ODBC on a 64-bit server?

Procedure

Install the ODBC drivers. For Microsoft SQL Server database servers, install the 64-bit database ODBC drivers on your Microsoft Windows system.
Run the 32-bit ODBC Administrator application, located at [WindowsDir] \SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
Use the application to create your DSN.

How can I tell if my ODBC driver is 32 or 64-bit?

On Windows 32-bit systems, the ODBC driver is 32-bit if the nsqlodbc. dll file is located in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. Both 32-bit and 64-bit programs can run on 64-bit Windows OS.

Can I can connect a 64 bit application to a 32-bit ODBC driver?

Yes, you can connect a 64-bit application to a 32-bit ODBC driver by using the ODBC-ODBC Bridge. Without the ODBC-ODBC Bridge, a 64-bit application cannot connect to a 32-bit ODBC driver. 64-bit applications must be linked against 64-bit libraries.

What is ODBC driver 13.1 for SQL Server?

Microsoft ODBC Driver 13.1 for SQL Server is a single dynamic-link library (DLL) containing run-time support for applications using native-code APIs to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2016,…

Is there a 32 bit or 64 bit ODBC Administrator Tool?

Similarly, the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that are created by the 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool. Also, the 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that use 32-bit drivers. Similarly, the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that use 64-bit drivers.

Is there a 32 bit version of SQL Server?

You create a user DSN for the 32-bit driver ‘Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)’. This driver does not have a corresponding 64-bit version. The SQLDataSources function that is called in a 64-bit application returns this 32-bit user DSN.

How to create a 32-bit ODBC data source?

To work around this problem, use the appropriate version of the ODBC Administrator tool. If you build and then run an application as a 32-bit application on a 64-bit operating system, you must create the ODBC data source by using the ODBC Administrator tool in %windir%\\SysWOW64\\odbcad32 .exe.
