The ODBC driver works on Mac OS X with the driver manager iODBC in two variations (depending on the application):
- The Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration window opens. Specify the following information in the Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration window: In the Data Source Name field, enter a name of your choice to identify the data source. If your DBA has supplied a common DSN for use across the enterprise, enter it here.
- The Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration window opens. Specify the following information in the Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration window: In the Data Source Name field, enter a name of your choice to identify the data source. If your DBA has supplied a common DSN for use across the enterprise, enter it here.
- As system library (included in the system)
- As framework in version 3.52.7 (for more information, see www.iodbc.org)
- Free BSD
- FreeBSD 11.0 (64Bit)
- FreeBSD 10.3 (64Bit)
Download and Install the ODBC Driver
- Go to the Exasol Downloads page and from Download ODBC Driver section, download the ODBC Driver according to your OS (Unix, Linux, or macOS). For example, for Linux, select EXASOL_ODBC-<version>.tar.gz.
- Run the following commands to extract the package in a directory:
- For Linux/macOS: tar -xzf EXASOL_ODBC- <version>.tar.gz
- For Solaris: gtar -xzf EXASOL_ODBC-<version>.tar.gz
For configuration information, check the readme.txt file included in the driver package.
Configure ODBC Driver and Data Sources
To configure the driver, run the config_odbc program to generate the odbc.ini file. Change into the install directory and then run config_odbc as shown below:
Running the config_odbc performs the following operations:
- Scans the system for available ODBC driver manager
- Check for missing (3rd party) packages
- Creates an odbc.ini config file
- Creates a wrapper script to start applications
- Tests the database connectivity
- Suggests the correct DSN an application needs based on the driver manager it uses
The generated odbc.ini file contains DSN entries for all supported ODBC driver managers. To further configure the options in the odbc.ini file, see Connecting through Connection Strings.
The config_odbc program also allows non-interactive use. For details, run the following command:
