Example: Create an ODBC Data Source with Windows

How to create an ODBC data source (a DSN) using dialogs built into Windows 10.

Example: Connect to Manifold from Release 8

Step by step procedure to connect from Manifold System Release 8 to a Radian-format Manifold .map file using Manifold's ODBC driver.

Example: Connect to an ESRI GDB File Geodatabase

Connect Manifold to an ESRI GDB file geodatabase, display the contents, make a selection in the GDB and overlay in a map.

Example: Connect to an ESRI GDB usng GDAL/OGR

Instead of using Manifold's native ability to connect to modern ESRI GDB file geodatabases, use the Manifold GDAL dataport to take advantage of the GDAL library's ability to connect to deprecated GDB formats.

Example: Connect to a Shapefile usng GDAL/OGR

Instead of using Manifold's native ability to connect to shapefiles, use the Manifold GDAL dataport to connect to a shapefile.

Example: Connect Through Manifold ODBC to a Third Party

With Release 8, use a Manifold ODBC connection to a Radian-format .map to connect through the .map project to a third party, external data source, an ESRI GDB file geodatabase.  We use Manifold facilities as an intermediary to give Release 8 capabilities it does not have on its own, to link into data stored within an ESRI file geodatabase.  

Example: Connect LibreOffice Through Manifold to an ESRI GDB

A companion example topic to the Example: Connect Through Manifold ODBC to a Third Party topic.  Shows how to connect LibreOffice Base, the database part of LIbreOffice, through Manifold to link an ESRI GDB file geodatabase table into LibreOffice.

Example: Connect to Manifold from QGIS

Step by step procedure to connect from QGIS 2.8.9 to a Radian-format .map file using Manifold's ODBC driver.
