    Quick Start: DataDirect Connect® for ODBC SQL Server

    Wire Protocol Driver on UNIX and Linux


    The following basic information enables you to connect with and test your DataDirect Connect® for ODBC
    SQL Server Wire Protocol driver immediately after installation. For installation instructions for DataDirect
    Connect for ODBC, please see the DataDirect Connect and Connect XE for ODBC Installation Guide.

    Connecting to a Database
    Once the DataDirect Connect for ODBC drivers are installed, you can connect from your application to your
    database.

    Environment Setup
    1 Check your permissions: Log in as a user with full r/w/x permissions recursively on the entire
    DataDirect Connect for ODBC installation directory.

    2 Determine which shell you are running: Execute the env command.

    3 Run the DataDirect Technologies setup script to set variables: Two scripts, odbc.csh and
    odbc.sh, are installed in the installation directory. For Korn, Borne, and equivalent shells, execute
    odbc.sh. For a C shell, execute odbc.csh. After running the setup script, execute the env command to
    verify that the installation_directory/lib directory has been added to your shared library path.

    4 Set ODBCINI variable: You must set the ODBCINI environment variable. The variable should point
    to the path from the root directory to the odbc.ini file where your data source will reside. DataDirect
    Connect for ODBC is installed with a template odbc.ini in the installation directory. For example:

    $ ODBCINI= /opt/odbc/odbc.ini; export ODBCINI

    Test Loading the Driver


    The ivtestlib tool is a utility to verify that the driver can be loaded into memory; it is located in the
    installation_directory/bin directory. For example, to load the SQL Server Wire Protocol driver on Solaris
    (where xx represents the driver level number), you would enter:

    $ ivtestlib /opt/odbc/lib/ivmsssxx.so

    Setting up a Data Source in the odbc.ini


    The default odbc.ini installed in the installation directory is a template into which you enter your site-
    specific database connection information using a text editor. Each database has its own section in the
    template. On Solaris, for example, you might enter:

    [SQL Server Wire Protocol]


    Driver=/opt/odbc/lib/ivmsssxx.so
    Description=connection to my accounting database
    Database=master
    Address=123.456.78.90, 1433
    Testing the Connection
    The DataDirect Connect for ODBC installation includes a program called example that can be used to
    connect to a data source and execute SQL. The application is located in the
    installation_directory/example directory. To run the program, type example and follow the prompts to
    enter your data source name, user name, and password. If successful, a SQL> prompt appears and you
    can type in SQL Statements such as Select * from <table_name>. If example is unable to connect,
    the appropriate error message is displayed.
