NAME
       unixODBC - An ODBC implementation for Unix

DESCRIPTION
       ODBC  is  an open specification providing application developers with a
       predictable API with which to access data sources. Data sources include
       SQL servers and any data source with an ODBC driver.

       The  unixODBC  project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC as the
       definitive standard for ODBC on non-Windows platforms.

       The HTML-formatted "Administrator Manual" shipped  with  unixODBC  pro-
       vides additional details on configuration and usage to supplement these
       man pages.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       ODBCSYSINI
              Sets the full path to the directory containing the unixODBC con-
              figuration files. By default, this is '/etc'.

       ODBCINSTINI
              Sets  the  name  of  the unixODBC driver configuration file. The
              file name is relative to ODBCSYSINI and is  set  by  default  to
              'odbcinst.ini'.

       ODBCINI
              Sets  the  full  path  to the system-wide unixODBC configuration
              file containing Data Source Names (DSNs). By  default,  this  is
              set to '/etc/odbc.ini'.

       ODBCINSTUI
              Sets  the  library  name  for  the  UI.  The  final name that is
              searched for is evaluated as "lib$ODBCINSTUI". By default,  this
              variable  is  set to 'odbcinstQ4', so the resulting library name
              is 'libodbcinstQ4'.

       ODBCSEARCH
              Sets the configuration mode and determines  where  to  look  for
              configuration  files.  This  variable  must  be  set  to  one of
              ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN, ODBC_USER_DSN or ODBC_BOTH_DSN,  which  is  the
              default value.
