What are the drawbacks of using file dsn (dsn-less) instead of system dsn connection?

[Pelle]

I have some problems when I try to use system dsn in the ODBC but it seems to work ok when using file dsn instead.

Therefore I wonder if there are any problems using the file dsn (other than having to write a longer connection string)?

Here is a link to one person's opinion:

I suppose it is a matter of choice and my guess is some will stand by DSN and some will stand by DSN-less. As the author states at the end I also generally use DSN-less.
