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  provides  additional
       details on configuration and usage to supplement these man pages.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       ODBCSYSINI
              Sets the full path to the directory containing the unixODBC configuration 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.
