ODBC: Data Source Configuration
Note: CLIENTLOGGING=TRUE;CLIENTLOGFILE=trace.txt;
Windows
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
</pre> [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; </pre>
