odbcinst(1)		      UnixODBC Reference		   odbcinst(1)

NAME
       odbcinst - command line tool for batch ODBC configuration

SYNOPSIS
       odbcinst action object options

       action is one of

	      -i     install a driver or data source

	      -u     uninstall a driver or data source

	      -q     query  a  list  of drivers or data sources present on the
		     system

	      -j     print config info

	      -c     call SQLCreateDataSource

	      -m     call SQLManageDataSources

	      --version
		     shows the version number of the program

       object is one of

	      -d     an ODBC driver in /etc/odbcinst.ini

	      -s     an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) in an odbc.ini file.

       options are zero or more of

	      -f template file
		     Used with -i, this option specifies a template file  con‐
		     taining the driver or DSN to be installed.

	      -r     Read the template from standard input.

	      -n Driver/Data Source Name
		     Used with -u to specify a driver or DSN to remove.

	      -v     Contrary  to  standard  practice,	this turns off verbose
		     output; there is no output, even for errors.

	      -l     The specified Data Source object  is  a  System  DSN,  in
		     /etc/odbc.ini.

	      -h     The  specified  Data  Source object is a User DSN, in the
		     current user's $HOME/.odbc.ini.  This is the default with
		     -s.

DESCRIPTION
       odbcinst	 updates  the  configuration files that control ODBC access to
       database	 servers  on  the  current  host.   It	 also	maintains   in
       /etc/odbcinst.ini  a  count of the number of references to a particular
       driver, which can be used to determine whether  it  should  be  removed
       from the file (only when the reference count drops to 0).

   Installing
       Drivers and DSNs are installed using the -i option.

       If the object to be installed is a driver (-d), the specified driver is
       added to /etc/odbcinst.ini or its reference count is incremented if  it
       is already there.

       If the object is a data source (-s), the data source is added either to
       /etc/odbc.ini (if -l is used) or to $HOME/.odbc.ini (the default, which
       can also be specified with -h).

   Uninstalling
       Uninstalling  a	driver	is  done  with	the command odbcinst -u -d -n
       driver name.  Uninstalling a DSN is done with the command  odbcinst  -u
       -s  -n	 data source name.  Uninstalling causes the reference count on
       the object to be decremented.   If  nothing  else  has  requested  this
       driver  or DSN (i.e., the reference count drops to zero), it is removed
       from the config file.

       The options -l and -h are used with -s to specify which	odbc.ini  file
       to configure.

   Queries
       The  command  odbcinst  -q  -d returns a list of all drivers present in
       /etc/odbcinst.ini.  The command odbcinst -q -s returns a	 list  of  all
       system and user DSNs available.

EXIT STATUS
       0      Success

       non-zero
	      Failure

TEMPLATE FILES
       A typical driver template looks like this:
	       [MySQL]
	       Description     = MySQL driver
	       Driver	       = /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so
	       Setup	       = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbcmyS.so

       A DSN template looks like this:
	       [Sample DSN]
	       Description	   = Test MySQL connection
	       Driver		   = MySQL
	       Trace		   = Yes
	       TraceFile	   = /tmp/odbc.log
	       Database		   = junk
	       Server		   = localhost
	       Port		   = 3306
	       Socket		   =

       The Description and Driver fields should be present in all DSN configu‐
       rations.	 Other options are driver-specific; consult your ODBC driver's
       documentation for a list of allowed options, or see ODBCConfig(1) for a
       graphical tool that can be used to interactively set up a DSN or driver
       the first time.

FILES
       /etc/odbcinst.ini, /etc/odbc.ini, $HOME/.odbc.ini
