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

NAME

       odbcinst - An unixODBC tool for manipulating configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       odbcinst ACTION OBJECT OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       odbcinst  is  a	command line tool which has been created for allowing people who are developing the install scripts/RPMs for Drivers to be
       able to easily create/remove entries in odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. This command line tool is a complement to the shared library of the same
       name (libodbcinst.so). This tool is a part of the odbcinst component of unixODBC.

OPTIONS

   ACTIONS
       -i     Install (add section to config file) new OBJECT.

       -u     Uninstall (remove section from config file) existing OBJECT.

       -q     Query the config files and print the options for specified OBJECT.

       -j     Prints current configuration of unixODBC, listing (among others) the paths to the configuration files.

       -c     Calls SQLCreateDataSource

       -m     Calls SQLManageDataSources

       --version
	      Prints program version and exits.

   OBJECTS
       -d     The ACTION affect drivers (and thus the odbcinst.ini configuration file).

       -s     The ACTION affect data sources (and thus the user or system odbc.ini configuration file).

   OPTIONS
       -f FILE
	      The FILE is template file, describing the configuration of installed OBJECT (only valid for the -i ACTION).

       -r     Same as the -f OPTION, only take the standard input as the template file.

       -n NAME
	      Specifies the NAME of the OBJECT.

       -v     Turn off verbose mode. This turns off all information, warning and error messages.

       -l     The specified data source is system-wide. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.

       -h     The specified data source is user-specific. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.

RETURN VALUES

       This command returns zero on success and non-zero value on failure.

FILES

       /etc/odbinst.ini
	      Configuration file containing all the database drivers specifications. See odbcinst.ini(5) for more details.

       /etc/odbc.ini
	      System-wide data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for more details.

       $HOME/.odbc.ini
	      User-specific data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for more details.
