DB Connect - driver not found - Splunk Community

Splunk Search

I'm running Splunk from localhost on a Windows 7 machine with the Splunk DB Connect Application installed.

I am able to connect to a remote DB using the H2 DB Type.

However, when I use the ODBC (more appropriate) DB Type it throws an error:

"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"

I think I need a driver for the localhost side, but do not know where to get it.

Here are the pre-reqs. with links to all db Drivers
