I’m confused about whether we need just the ODBC data source definition or something more. I thought there was more to it than just that.

I remember practicing a question about ODBC sources, and I think it involved defining a library too, but I can't recall the exact details.

D) a table pointing directly to the ODBC data source? Really? That just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I'm sticking with B).
