The process for importing an ODBC source is similar to that for CSV with slight changes to the format of the VRT file. The ODBC VRT file is shown below.

<OGRVRTDataSource>
   <OGRVRTLayer name="town_aus">
       <SrcDataSource>ODBC:town_aus</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcLayer>City</SrcLayer> 
       <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
       <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
       <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="longitude" y="latitude"/>
   </OGRVRTLayer> 
</OGRVRTDataSource>

First, set up an ODBC data source to the Microsoft Access data file. In this case the ODBC data source is called town_aus and is described in the SrcDataSource tag above. A new entry describing the layer name is also added. This points to the table in Microsoft Access; in our example called city. All other tags remain the same.
