Database Source Names, more commonly seen as the abbreviation, DSN, are data structures used to describe a connection to a database. This DSN will take the form of protocol: subprotocol: host: port: database so as to completely specify all parameters of the connection. The exact format of the DSN will vary depending on your programming language.
