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.
