The .odbc.ini file gives information about connecting to the database (wire protocol drivers) or the database client (non-wire protocol drivers). If your system uses a mix of drivers, your .odbc.ini file will contain a mix of entry types.
Configuration examples for the various platforms are provided in $DSHome/branded_odbc/IBM_Tools in the odbc.ini file.
- aix_4.2.odbc.ini for AIX® systems.
- sun_4.2.odbc.ini for Solaris systems.
- linux_4.2.odbc.ini for Linux® systems.
These files give the minimum parameter settings required to create a working odbc.ini file. They each give configurations for the following databases:
- DB2® on Linux, UNIX®, Windows®, and AS400
- Oracle on Linux and UNIX
- Informix® on Linux, UNIX, and Windows
- Microsoft® SQL Server 2000 connection
- Sybase on Windows
