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.

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

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".
