The name of the database is set in the DSN. From the MailSite docs:

· Create a data source for Emerald:
1 On the machine running MailSite, go to the control panel and start the
ODBC Data Source Administrator.
2 Select the System DSN page.
3 Click the Add button.
4 Select the Microsoft SQL Server driver and click Finish.
5 Type EmeraldDataSource (or some other suitable name) as the data source
name.
6 Optionally, enter a description of the data source.
7 In the Server field, enter the name of the machine on which SQL Server is
running.
8 Click Options to display additional configuration choices.
9 Enter the name of the Emerald database. The SQL Server administrator will
be able to tell you this.
10 Click OK to create a new data source.
11 Click OK once more to dismiss the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
