I am getting confused regarding the use of a full SQL database instead of the built in SQL DB that comes with VCenter/ VSphere and it may be more related to my not being a SQL DB admin. I want to use a SQL 2005 DB the documentation says it can be 32 or 64 bit. But the DSN ODBC connector must be a 64 bit DSN. Can you use a 64 bit ODBC connector with a 32 bit SQL database server? Thank you.
Yes you can
To manage a data source that connects to a 32-bit driver under 64-bit platform, use c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. To manage a data source that connects to a 64-bit driver, use c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe
