HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver GuideThe HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver Programmer's Manual serves as a user guide and reference for HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver, which is the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the Microsoft™ Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface, Version 3.0.
Configure data sourcesThese topics explain how to configure a data source (DSN) on UNIX™ and Windows™ for HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver.
Configure a DSN on UNIX™The configuration files provide information, such as driver attributes, that the driver uses to connect to DSNs.
Set the $ODBCINI environment variableSet the $ODBCINI environment variable to provide access to your DSN by system users

Set the $ODBCINI environment variable

Set the $ODBCINI environment variable to provide access to your DSN by system users

By default, HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver uses configuration information found in the $HOME/.odbc.ini file. If you want to provide access to your DSN by system users, modify the path in the $ODBCINI environment variable to point to another configuration file that also contains the configuration information found in the $HOME/.odbc.ini file. Then change the configuration file permissions to allow read access for system users. Do not change the permissions to the $HOME/.odbc.ini file.

In the following example, the configuration file name is myodbc.ini:

setenv ODBCINI /work/myodbc.ini
