Linux

To determine the location of the configuration files:

# odbcinst -j

Will return output similar to the following:

unixODBC 2.2.11
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
USER DATA SOURCES..: /root/.odbc.ini

The Recital Driver information can be seen in the 'odbcinst.ini' file:

[Recital]
Description		= Recital ODBC Driver
Driver		= /opt/recital/drivers/libodbc_recital.so
Setup		= /opt/recital/drivers/libodbc_recital.so
FileUsage		= 1
UsageCount	= 1

The Recital installer also adds the following DSN to the system 'odbc.ini' file:

[Recital ODBC test]
Driver	= Recital 
DATABASE	= ODBC:RECITAL:SERVERNAME=?;USERNAME=?;PASSWORD=?;DATABASE=odbc_test;

Note: The '?' can be used for the servername, username and password where the data is on the local server and DB_LOCAL_LOGIN is enabled.

Additional datasources can be added by editing the 'odbc.ini' text file directly, using the following format:

[<unique DSN>]
Description = <informative text>
Driver = Recital
Database = <URL>

Where the <URL> is in the following format:

ODBC:RECITAL:SERVERNAME=<node>;USERNAME=<user>;PASSWORD=<password>;DATABASE=<database>;

or

ODBC:RECITAL:SERVERNAME=<node>;USERNAME=<user>;PASSWORD=<password>;DIRECTORY=<directory>;

The following may also be included:

Trace = <Yes | No>
TraceFile = <filename>

For example

[southwind]
Driver	= Recital
DATABASE	= ODBC:RECITAL:SERVERNAME=192.168.1.3;USERNAME=user;PASSWORD=password;DATABASE=southwind;

[dir_test]
Driver	= Recital
DATABASE	= ODBC:RECITAL:SERVERNAME=192.168.1.3;USERNAME=user;PASSWORD=password;DIRECTORY=/opt/recital/data/odbc_test;
