ODBC Driver Guide


Configuring the ODBC Driver

On UNIX, the Progress SQL-92 ODBC Driver is a series of MERANT-supplied shared libraries. In order to configure the ODBC Driver on a UNIX system, the Progress SQL-92 ODBC Driver libraries and executable files must have been installed, as described in the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX. Table 4–1 lists the location of the driver libraries and executable files and the name of the Progress SQL-92 ODBC Driver Manager library by platform.

NOTE: $DLC is an environment variable that points to the directory in which Progress is installed. Using $DLC allows you to use the same script to set environment variables relative to where Progress is installed, regardless of where it is installed on a particular system.

To configure the driver you must set the appropriate environment variables and configure your data source. The following sections contain instructions for completing these tasks.
