Compatibility indicates that a driver was tested for compatibility against existing releases of SQL at the time of the driver's release. SQL Server releases generally try to maintain backwards compatibility with existing client drivers. But new features in SQL Server releases may not be available with older client drivers.
When you invoke msodbcsql.msi, only the client components are installed by default. The client components are files that support running an application that was developed using the driver. To install the SDK components, specify ADDLOCAL=ALL on the command line. Here's an example.
When an application uses the driver, the application should indicate that it depends on the driver through the install option APPGUID. this indication enables the driver installer to report dependent applications before uninstalling. To specify a dependency on the driver, set the APPGUID command-line parameter to your product code when silently installing the driver. A product code must be created when using Microsoft Installer to bundle your application setup program. Here's an example.
The bcp.exe and sqlcmd.exe tools for use with the driver can be downloaded at Microsoft Command Line Utilities 11 for SQL Server, Microsoft Command Line Utilities 13 for SQL Server, or Microsoft Command Line Utilities 13.1 for SQL Server. The driver is a prerequisite to install sqlcmd.exe and bcp.exe.
In my Access database, I reference the DSN, "mydatasourcename" to connect to an online MySQL database. It is a machine DSN. Somehow through the course of editing my config files, a phantom DSN was created. This DSN is now out of date and I need to update it with the new hostname (after having migrated the MySQL Server). But the config file is nowhere to be found. It does not show up in either 32-bit or 64-bit "ODBC Data Sources" forms. I have searched "mydatasourcename" in the Registry Editor and it is not there either. Mysteriously, when I open an Access linked table referencing "mydatasourcename" it opens a MySQL ODBC Connector dialogue with the old connection information in it. How is it doing this? Where is it getting the connection string information? To answer this question, I am requesting a list of the places the ODBC driver looks for configuration files and how to access them so I can delete the old configuration file. I am using MySQL ODBC Connector 8.0.16. Thank you.
I've a Sybase SQL Anywhere 9 Server on a Windows server. I've a client with Windows 7. I want install only the ODBC driver for access to the server. But, how find I the ODBC driver? Only in the SDK? 322MB for only ODBC driver?
SQL Anywhere 9 is very old (the current version is 16). I don't know if there's a separate InstallShield setup for just the Version 9 ODBC drivers. However, the V9 Compiled HTML Help describes "Deploying ODBC clients"... you can probably find the Help on the server where the database resides.
Oracle's Instant Client ODBC software is a standalone package that offers the full functionality of the Oracle ODBC driver (except the Oracle service for Microsoft Transaction Server) with a simple install.
An ODBC application has to load the Oracle Instant Client ODBC driver's shared library file (see next section) to connect to Oracle Database. On Linux/Unix the directory path of the shared library should be set in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or platform equivalent. It can also be configured in /etc/ld.so.conf. On Windows it should be set in the PATH environment variable.
On Linux and UNIX Patching the Instant Client ODBC driver on Linux/UNIX can be done by generating the Instant Client ODBC package and Basic or Basic Light package in a patched ORACLE_HOME. The procedure for patching and generating Instant Client ODBC, Basic and Basic Light packages is given in the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide. These new packages should then be unzipped into the Instant Client directory that needs to be patched. This method of patching is recommended.
On Windows Patching the Instant Client ODBC driver on Windows can be done only by manually copying the ODBC driver shared library files and supporting library files from a patched ORACLE_HOME or from an unpacked Oracle Database Bundle patch. These should be copied into the Instant Client directory. Generating an Instant Client ODBC package is not available on Windows.
After selecting Next, the sualog should change and show the SAS Deployment loading the installation package for the product being upgraded and then shows it checking to make sure it can write to files being update. If the ODBC driver is in use you should see the of files that it cannot update. Have you stopped all SAS jobs and services? Are you seeing this system check dialog?
The problem occurs because the SAS 9.2 PC Files Server uses the version 12 Microsoft Office 2007 ODBC driver to connect to the Microsoft Access Connectivity Engine. The SAS 9.1 PC Files Server uses the version 4 Microsoft Office 2003 ODBC drivers connecting to the Microsoft Joint Engine Technolgy.
To resolve the problem, install the Office 2007 ODBC driver, which works with both Office 2007 and Office 2003 files. You can download the driver from Microsoft's Web page 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components You can also install the driver by installing Microsoft Office 2007 or the Office 2007 conversion kit on your machine.
Recently I received a request to integrate a connection with an existing Rails application. After some research I came to the conclusion that one of the only ways to query the Snowflake views was through an ODBC connection using a combination of -odbc and
With this file updated with your Snowflake information you can now test the connection using the following command that is included with iODBC:
/Library/Application Support/iODBC/bin/iodbctest
This will allow you to enter an iODBC connection string for any of the DSNs listed using the ? command. This connection string should not be enclosed in quotes and should be in the following format:
Now, that was a lot of setup just to get to a prompt where you are able to query Snowflake. Now that you have all of that working you would expect to be able to install the ruby-odbc gem and start working in your Rails environment. When you go to install the ruby-odbc gem you will run into an error:
The Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver is a read-only ODBC driver for Windows and macOS that lets you connect business intelligence (BI) and data visualization applications like Microsoft Excel and Power BI to the SQL plugin.
The installer comes bundled with documentation and useful resource files to connect to various BI tools (for example, a .tdc file for Tableau). You can choose to keep or remove these resources. Choose Next.

The ODBC driver uses an ODBC connection string. The connection strings are semicolon-delimited strings that specify the set of options that you can use for a connection. Typically, a connection string will either:

As part of a commercial research project,the developers at Insight DistributionsSystem overhauled the driver. Their goal was to make the drivercommercially viable. In keeping with the spirit with whichthe original source was acquired, Insight published their work at theirwebsite. Some time later and after some discussion with membersof the PostgreSQL organization, psqlODBC was adapted as the part of thePostgreSQL source distribution. The driver continued to be maintained by Byron Nikolaidis, the developer at Insight who overhauled the driver for some time.
This happens if the ODBC is set up incorrectly. The path that the connection uses does not contain the correct Sage 50 Accounts data, or contains no files. When the Sage 50 Accounts data is upgraded, by default the ODBC data path is replaced with the default data location. If you have your data on a network, or in a different location, the connection then has the incorrect information.
The following table shows the files needed for a working SQL Anywhere ODBC driver. These files should be placed in a single directory. The SQL Anywhere installation places them all in the operating-system subdirectory of your SQL Anywhere installation directory (for example, bin32 or bin64).
Note that for Windows Vista or later versions of Windows, you must include the SQL Anywhere elevated operations agent (dbelevate12.exe) which supports the privilege elevation required to register or unregister the ODBC driver. This file is only required as part of the ODBC driver install or uninstall procedure.
A language resource library file should also be included. The table above shows files with the designation [en]. There are several message files each supporting a different language. If you want to install support for different languages, you have to add the resource files for these languages.
Devart ODBC Drivers are powerful connectors for a host of database management systems and cloud services that allow you to connect to your data from virtually any third-party application or programming language that supports the ODBC API. By a third-party application, we mean tools like Power BI, Tableau, Microsoft Excel, etc. See this page for the list of external applications that have been tested for compatibility with our drivers.
Before connecting a third-party application to a database or cloud source through ODBC, you need to set up a data source name (DSN) for the ODBC driver in the Data Source Administrator. A 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows operating system includes both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Data Source Administrator tool (odbcad32.exe):
