1. create a ODBC data source pointing to your database
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> ODBC Data Sources

assuming you named your data source as "data"

database.driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
database.url=jdbc:odbc:data

just load the driver and establish the connection the same way u did with other databases, using the above driver and like-wise url (depending on your data source name)
