What is a DSN-less connection?

A DSN-less connection is a method of connecting to a database without specifying a named data source. DSN-less connections dont require the creation of an ODBC DSN. Instead of relying on information stored in a file or in the system registry (as DSN connections do), DSN-less connections specify the driver name and all driver-specific information in the connection string.
