NAME

6       unixODBC - An ODBC implementation for Unix
7
8

DESCRIPTION

10       ODBC is an open specification for providing application developers with
11       a predictable API with which  to  access  Data  Sources.  Data  Sources
12       include SQL Servers and any Data Source with an ODBC Driver.
13
14       The  unixODBC  Project  goals are to develop and promote unixODBC to be
15       the definitive standard for ODBC on non MS Windows platforms.
16
17       The HTML-format "Administrator Manual" shipped with  unixODBC  provides
18       additional  details  on configuration and usage to supplement these man
19       pages.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

23       ODBCSYSINI
24              Overloads path  to  unixODBC  configuration  files.  By  default
25              equals to '/etc'.
26
27
28       ODBCINSTINI
29              Overloads the name of the drivers configuration file. It is rel‐
30              ative to ODBCSYSINI and by default set to 'odbcinst.ini'.
31
32
33       ODBCINSTUI
34              Overloads the library name  for  UI.  The  final  name  that  is
35              searched  for is evaluated as "lib$ODBCINSTUI". By default it is
36              set to 'odbcinstQ4', so the resulting library  name  is  'libod‐
37              bcinstQ4'.
38
39
40       ODBCSEARCH
41              Overloads  the  configuration  mode and determines where to look
42              for configuration files. Must be set to one of  ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN,
43              ODBC_USER_DSN  or  ODBC_BOTH_DSN  (the  last  one is the default
44              value).
45
46
47       ODBCINI
48              Overloads the path to user configuration file. By default it  is
49              set to "~/.odbc.ini".
