Teradata Tools and Utilities

For ODBC Driver for Teradata, both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers can coexist on the same system.

For Windows 10 and Windows 2016, the location of the 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC Data Sources start menu item is located in Windows Administrative Tools for ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) and ODBC Data Sources (64-bit).

To set up a data source name (DSN) for each type of configuration:

To set up DSNs for a 32-bit driver, open the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box by selecting Start > Programs > ODBC > 32-Bit ODBC Administrator. Then follow the instructions from Configuring a Data Source using ODBC Data Source Administrator.
To set up DSNs for a 64-bit driver, open the 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box by selecting Start > Programs > ODBC > 64-Bit ODBC Administrator Then follow the instructions from Configuring a Data Source using ODBC Data Source Administrator.

The ODBC Data Source Administrator does not distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit user DSNs as they both reside in the same location of the Windows registry.
