Netezza ODBC, JDBC and OLE DB Installation and Configuration Guide
You may want to place the .odbcinst.ini file in a different location, and you may
want to do the configuration as the superuser, rather than as an ordinary user. These
issues are discussed in Appendix A, “ODBC Configuration Files.”
This step assumes you are logged in as an ordinary user and are placing the
.odbcinst.ini file in your home directory. What you do in this step depends on
whether or not the .odbcinst.ini file already exists in your home directory.
The Configuration File Exists. Use a text editor, such as vi, to examine the
.odbcinst.ini configuration file if it already exists in your home directory,
which may occur for different reasons, including the following:
Your client system was previously configured for one or more ODBC drivers
other than the Netezza ODBC driver. If you still want to use those ODBC driv-
ers, do not modify existing entries in the .odbcinst.ini file. In this case,
add the entry in the odbcinst.ini.sample file to the end of the existing
contents of the .odbcinst.ini file.
The Netezza client software and a Netezza ODBC driver were previously
installed on your client system, and the Netezza ODBC driver has already been
configured. If this is so, you may not have to add any entries to the
.odbcinst.ini file. If your .odbcinst.ini file already contains an entry
similar to that found in the odbcinst.ini.sample file, do nothing. If it
does not, then add the entry in the odbcinst.ini.sample file to the end of
the existing contents of the .odbcinst.ini file.
The Configuration File Does Not Exist. If the .odbinst.ini configuration file
does not yet exist in your home directory, copy the entire
odbcinst.ini.sample file into your home directory and rename it
.odbcinst.ini.
4. The entry from the odbcinst.ini.sample file can usually be used without modifi-
cation in your .odbcinst.ini file. Consult your Netezza system administrator to see
if any configuration entries need to be changed for your installation.
ODBC Data Source Configuration for UNIX/Linux
The driver manager and the Netezza ODBC drivers use the .odbc.ini configuration file to
get information about data sources. To configure data sources on a UNIX/Linux system, use
a text editor to modify the .odbc.ini file.
Data Source Configuration File
This section describes the .odbc.ini file and shows samples of its contents. You nor-
mally place the .odbc.ini file in your own home directory. It specifies details about the
Netezza appliance data sources you want to access.
Note: The period precedes the file name only when the file is located in the user’s home
directory.
To configure the .odbc.ini file entries to access the system data source on your own
Netezza appliance, get the following configuration information from your Netezza system
administrator, and substitute it for the information in odbc.ini:
Database — The name of the system database on the Netezza appliance.
Username — A valid user ID for accessing the system data source.
