When enabled, the table is accessed as needed. In special situations a table that isn't being used may be
disabled to reduce the number of ODBC (database) calls. For example, if not using Ratios and Quotas "User
Ratio-Free Files", "Per User Files Ratio", "Per User Bytes Ratio", "Per Session Files Ratio", and "Per Session
Bytes Ratio" tables may be disabled preventing unneeded ODBC calls. Exercise caution when disabling tables
as the fields will appear in dialogs, but they will not be saved or loaded. The "User Info" and "Group Info" tables
cannot be disabled.

Case File - ODBC Authentication
Authentication in the Serv-U File Server can be handled through an ODBC database, allowing for scripted
account management and maintenance. In order to make use of ODBC functionality, migrate to ODBC
authentication through a database. By storing credentials in settings in a database, accounts can be managed
from outside the Serv-U Management Console via scripted database operations which can be built into many
existing account provisioning systems. A DSN must first be created in Control Panel | Administrative Tools |
Data Sources (ODBC) - use a System DSN if Serv-U is running as a service or a User DSN if Serv-U is running
as an application. Once the proper DSN has been created, the administrator must specify the Data Source
Name, login ID and password and select Save. Serv-U creates the tables and columns transparently.
Database Users and Groups can be managed from the Database Users and Database Groups sections of
Serv-U (located near the normal Users and Groups tabs).
