### Windows only:

    ### Describe the database (NB: this is not a connection)
    myDb <- edb(

        dbSourceName = "nameOfODBCSource", # or any name you like

        dbPort       = 3306 
    )   #    
    
    
    
    ### Register the data source in ODBC 
    edbDataSource( myDb, verbose = TRUE ) 
    
    
    
    ### Use the database:
    
    # List the table names in the database:
    edbNames( edb = myDb ) 
    
    # with more details
    edbNames( edb = myDb, onlyNames = FALSE ) 
    
    
    
    ### Un-register the data source in ODBC (windows only)
    edbDataSource( myDb, trash = TRUE ) 
}   #
