odbcinst.ini(5) 					       unixODBC manual pages						   odbcinst.ini(5)

NAME

       /etc/odbcinst.ini - An unixODBC drivers configuration

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/odbcinst.ini  is a text configuration file for unixODBC drivers. It can be edited by hand, but the recommended way to update this file
       is to use the odbcinst(1) utility.

FILE FORMAT

       The general .ini file format is:

	      [SectionName1]
	      key1 = value1
	      key2 = value2
	      ...

	      [SectionName2]
	      key1 = value1
	      key2 = value2
	      ...

       Each ODBC driver has its own section and can be referred to by the name of its section. Recognized configuration keys are:

       Description
	      A text string briefly describing the driver.

       Driver A filesystem path to the actual driver library.

       Setup  A filesystem path to the driver setup library.

       FileUsage
	      odbcinst(1) entry, if you edit the configuration file by hand, you have to supply it yourself.

   TEMPLATE FILES
       The recommended way to manage the drivers is using the odbcinst(1) utility. You can install the drivers by supplying it with template file,
       which has the same format as this file.

EXAMPLES

       An example of the actual PostgreSQL driver:

	      [PostgreSQL]
	      Description = PostgreSQL driver for GNU/Linux
	      Driver	  = /usr/lib/psqlodbcw.so
	      Setup	  = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so
	      FileUsage   = 1

       By specifying the driver like that, you can then reference it in the odbc.ini(5) as follows:

	      Driver = PostgreSQL

       The recommended way to add that driver is by creating template file containg:

	      [PostgreSQL]
	      Description = PostgreSQL driver for GNU/Linux
	      Driver	  = /usr/lib/psqlodbcw.so
	      Setup	  = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so

       and call the odbcinst(1):

	      # odbcinst -i -d -f template.ini
