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.
