    why do we make DATA SOURCE ?

    we can directly make a DB connection from code and start using the connection .

    when we would use DATA SOURCE ?

    There was a time when OLEDB did not exist. In those days, the only way to make a database connection was via an ODBC data source.

    ODBC also has the advantage of separating out from your application the server name and database name.
