NAME
     unixODBC - An ODBC implementation for Unix

DESCRIPTION
     ODBC  is an open specification providing application developers with a pre-
     dictable API with which to access data sources. Data  sources  include  SQL
     servers and any data source with an ODBC driver.

     The  unixODBC  project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC as the de-
     finitive standard for ODBC on non-Windows platforms.

     The HTML-formatted "Administrator Manual" shipped	with  unixODBC	provides
     additional  details  on  configuration  and  usage  to supplement these man
     pages.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     ODBCSYSINI
	    Sets the full path to the directory containing the unixODBC configu-
	    ration files. By default, this is '/usr/local/etc'.

     ODBCINSTINI
	    Sets the name of the unixODBC driver configuration	file.  The  file
	    name   is	relative   to  ODBCSYSINI  and	is  set  by  default  to
	    'odbcinst.ini'.

     ODBCINISets the full path to the system-wide  unixODBC  configuration  file
	    containing	Data  Source  Names  (DSNs).  By default, this is set to
	    '/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini'.

     ODBCINSTUI
	    Sets the library name for the UI. The final name  that  is	searched
	    for  is  evaluated as "lib$ODBCINSTUI". By default, this variable is
	    set to 'odbcinstQ4', so the resulting library  name  is  'libodbcin-
	    stQ4'.

     ODBCSEARCH
	    Sets the configuration mode and determines where to look for config-
	    uration  files. This variable must be set to one of ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN,
	    ODBC_USER_DSN or ODBC_BOTH_DSN, which is the default value.
