NAME

6       unixODBC - An ODBC implementation for Unix
7
8

DESCRIPTION

10       ODBC  is  an open specification providing application developers with a
11       predictable API with which to access data sources. Data sources include
12       SQL servers and any data source with an ODBC driver.
13
14       The  unixODBC  project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC as the
15       definitive standard for ODBC on non-Windows platforms.
16
17       The HTML-formatted "Administrator Manual" shipped  with  unixODBC  pro‐
18       vides additional details on configuration and usage to supplement these
19       man pages.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

23       ODBCSYSINI
24              Sets the full path to the directory containing the unixODBC con‐
25              figuration files. By default, this is '/etc'.
26
27
28       ODBCINSTINI
29              Sets  the  name  of  the unixODBC driver configuration file. The
30              file name is relative to ODBCSYSINI and is  set  by  default  to
31              'odbcinst.ini'.
32
33
34       ODBCINI
35              Sets  the  full  path  to the system-wide unixODBC configuration
36              file containing Data Source Names (DSNs). By  default,  this  is
37              set to '/etc/odbc.ini'.
38
39
40       ODBCINSTUI
41              Sets  the  library  name  for  the  UI.  The  final name that is
42              searched for is evaluated as "lib$ODBCINSTUI". By default,  this
43              variable  is  set to 'odbcinstQ4', so the resulting library name
44              is 'libodbcinstQ4'.
45
46
47       ODBCSEARCH
48              Sets the configuration mode and determines  where  to  look  for
49              configuration  files.  This  variable  must  be  set  to  one of
50              ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN, ODBC_USER_DSN or ODBC_BOTH_DSN,  which  is  the
51              default value.
