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 configura-
tion 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 tem-
plate 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 specifi-
cations. See odbcinst.ini(5) for more details.
/etc/odbc.ini
System-wide data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for
