ODBC is the primary native data access API for applications written in C and C++ for SQL Server. There's an ODBC driver for most data sources. Other languages that can use ODBC include COBOL, Perl, PHP, and Python. ODBC is widely used in data integration scenarios.
The ODBC driver comes with tools such as sqlcmd and bcp. The sqlcmd utility lets you run Transact-SQL statements, system procedures, and SQL scripts. The bcp utility bulk copies data between an instance of Microsoft SQL Server and a data file in a format you choose. You can use bcp to import many new rows into SQL Server tables or to export data out of tables into data files.
An ODBC driver uses the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface by Microsoft that allows applications to access data in database management systems (DBMS) using SQL as a standard for accessing the data.
An ODBC driver uses the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface by Microsoft that allows applications to access data in database management systems (DBMS) using SQL as a standard for accessing the data. ODBC permits maximum interoperability, which means a single application can access different DBMS. Application end users can then add ODBC database drivers to link the application to their choice of DBMS. For example: an Oracle ODBC driver for Oracle, or a SQL Server ODBC driver for SQL Server.
The ODBC solution for accessing data led to ODBC database drivers, which are dynamic-link libraries on Windows and shared objects on Linux/UNIX. These drivers allow an application to gain access to one or more data sources. ODBC provides a standard interface to allow application developers and vendors of database drivers to exchange data between applications and data sources.

The standard is based on the Call-Level Interface (CLI) specifications from Open Group and ISO/IEC for database APIs and uses SQL as the database access language. ODBC drivers are distributed as dynamic-link libraries for Windows and shared objects for Linux/Unix.
An ODBC driver works by implementing the ODBC API, which allows applications to communicate with various databases. When an application sends a request to the ODBC driver, the driver translates it into a format that the specific database can understand. The driver then communicates with the database, retrieves the results, and returns them to the application.
You need an ODBC driver to connect your application to a specific database management system. Using an ODBC driver, you can abstract the underlying database technology and connect to multiple databases using a consistent interface. This simplifies the development process, as you don't need to write separate code for each database system you want to support.
We offer you optimal data access by means of ODBC and native database client libraries. However, you can avoid using client libraries, since our ODBC driversare able to connect via the native protocol directly without using client software at all.
Amazon Redshift provides 64-bit ODBC drivers for Linux, Windows, and macOS X operating systems. The 32-bit ODBC drivers are discontinued. Further updates will not be released, except for urgent security patches.
You install the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on client computers accessing an Amazon Redshift data warehouse. Each computer where you install the driver must meet a list of minimum system requirements. For information about minimum system requirements, see the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Use the following procedure to download the Amazon Redshift ODBC drivers for Windows operating systems. Only use a driver other than these if you're running a third-party application that is certified for use with Amazon Redshift and that requires a specific driver.
After you download and install the ODBC driver, add a data source name (DSN) entry to the client computer or Amazon EC2 instance. SQL client tools use this data source to connect to the Amazon Redshift database.
Use the steps in this section to download and install the Amazon Redshift ODBC drivers on a supported Linux distribution. The installation process installs the driver files in the following directories:
When you have finished installing the drivers, configure them for use on your system. For more information on driver configuration, see Use an ODBC driver manager to configure the driver on Linux and macOS X operating systems.

Use the steps in this section to download and install the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on a supported version of macOS X. The installation process installs the driver files in the following directories:
If your macOS X system uses Intel architecture, download the macOS X Intel driver version 1.5.9. If your system uses ARM architecture, download the macOS X ARM driver version 1.5.9. In both cases, the name for this driver is Amazon Redshift ODBC driver.
When you have finished installing the driver, configure it for use on your system. For more information on driver configuration, see Use an ODBC driver manager to configure the driver on Linux and macOS X operating systems.
On Linux and macOS X operating systems, you use an ODBC driver manager to configure the ODBC connection settings. ODBC driver managers use configuration files to define and configure ODBC data sources and drivers. The ODBC driver manager that you use depends on the operating system that you use:
For more information about the supported ODBC driver managers to configure the Amazon Redshift ODBC drivers, see System requirements for Linux operating systems and System requirements for macOS X operating systems. Also, see "Specifying ODBC Driver Managers on Non- Windows Machines" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Additionally, under /opt/amazon/redshiftodbc/Setup on Linux or /opt/amazon/redshift/Setup on macOS X, there are sample odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files. You can use these files as examples for configuring the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver and the data source name (DSN).
We don't recommend using the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver installation directory for the configuration files. The sample files in the Setup directory are for example purposes only. If you reinstall the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver at a later time, or upgrade to a newer version, the installation directory is overwritten. You then lose any changes that you might have made to those files.
To avoid this, copy the amazon.redshiftodbc.ini file to a directory other than the installation directory. If you copy this file to the user's home directory, add a period (.) to the beginning of the file name to make it a hidden file.
For the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files, either use the configuration files in the user's home directory or create new versions in another directory. By default, your Linux or macOS X operating system should have an odbc.ini file and an odbcinst.ini file in the user's home directory (/home/$USER or /.). These default files are hidden files, which is indicated by the dot (.) in front of each file name. These files display only when you use the -a flag to list the directory contents.
Whichever option you choose for the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files, modify the files to add driver and DSN configuration information. If you create new files, you also need to set environment variables to specify where these configuration files are located.
By default, ODBC driver managers are configured to use hidden versions of the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini configuration files (named .odbc.ini and .odbcinst.ini) located in the home directory. They also are configured to use the amazon.redshiftodbc.ini file in the /lib subfolder of the driver installation directory. If you store these configuration files elsewhere, set the environment variables described following so that the driver manager can locate the files. For more information, see "Specifying the Locations of the Driver Configuration Files" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
When connecting to your data store using a data source name (DSN), configure the odbc.ini file to define DSNs. Set the properties in the odbc.ini file to create a DSN that specifies the connection information for your data store.
For information about how to configure the odbcinst.ini file in this case, see "Configuring a DSN-less Connection on a Non-Windows Machine" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Use the correct ODBC driver manager to load the correct driver. To do this, set the library path environment variable. For more information, see "Specifying ODBC Driver Managers on Non-Windows Machines" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
