NAME
       unixODBC - An ODBC implementation for Unix


DESCRIPTION
       ODBC  is  an open specification for 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 to be the definitive standard for ODBC  on
       non MS Windows platforms.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       ODBCSYSINI
              Overloads path to unixODBC configuration files. By default equals to '/etc'.

       ODBCINSTINI
              Overloads  the name of the drivers configuration file. It is relative to ODBCSYSINI and by default
              set to 'odbcinst.ini'.

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

       ODBCSEARCH
              Overloads the configuration mode and determines where to look for configuration files. Must be set
              to one of ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN, ODBC_USER_DSN or ODBC_BOTH_DSN (the last one is the default value).

       ODBCINI
              Overloads the path to user configuration file. By default it is set to "~/.odbc.ini".
