Driver specifications

The following example illustrates a driver-specification format:

[driver name1] 
Driver=driver_library_path
Setup=setup/driver_library_path
APILevel=api_level_supported
ConnectFunctions=connectfunctions
DriverODBCVer=odbc_version
FileUsage=file_usage
SQLLevel=sql_level

The following example illustrates information about driver specifications:

[IBM INFORMIX ODBC DRIVER] 
Driver=/vobs/tristarm/odbc/iclis09b.so 
Setup=/vobs/tristarm/odbc/iclis09b.so 
APILevel=1 
ConnectFunctions=YYY 
DriverODBCVer=03.50 
FileUsage=0 
SQLLevel=1 

The following table describes the keywords that are in the driver-specification section.

Keywords	Description	Status
API Level	ODBC interface conformance level that the driver supports 0=None 1=Level 1 supported 2=Level 2 supported	Required
ConnectFunctions	Three-character string that indicates whether the driver supports SQLConnect, SQLDriverConnect, and SQLBrowseConnect	Required
DriverODBCVer	Character string with the version of ODBC that the driver supports	Required
Driver	Driver library path	Required
FileUsage	Number that indicates how a file-based driver directly treats files in a DSN	Required
Setup	Setup library	Required
SQLLevel	Number that indicates the SQL-92 grammar that the driver supports	Required
