DSN Viewer

DSN Viewer accepts DSN strings in multiple formats and outputs a structured model of the connection components. It supports DSN-based configurations and DSN-less strings used by applications, JDBC-style URLs, and ODBC metadata. Conceptually, it tokenizes the input, normalizes key names, and assigns values to fields such as driver, server/host, port, database, databaseName, uid, pwd, and options. The tool validates syntax, detects missing required fields, and flags conflicting or ambiguous keys. Beneficiaries include developers integrating databases, data engineers provisioning environments, and DBAs auditing configurations. Unique value lies in real-time parsing, format-agnostic detection, and exportable results suitable for CI pipelines. Core features include format detection, field extraction, validation rules, and output templates. Typical use cases: verifying a DSN before deployment, converting DSN-less URLs to a canonical form, and auditing configuration across environments.
