The utility is part of the odbcinst component of unixODBC and comple- ments the shared library of the same name (libodbcinst). OPTIONS ACTIONS -i Install a new OBJECT (by adding a section to a configuration file). -u Uninstall an existing OBJECT (by removing a section from a con- figuration file). -q Query ODBC configuration files and print available options for the specified OBJECT. -j Print the current configuration of unixODBC, including paths to configuration files. -c Call SQLCreateDataSource. -m Call SQLManageDataSources. --version Display the program version. OBJECTS -d The specified ACTION affects a driver (and thus the odbcinst.ini configuration file). -s The specified ACTION affects a data source (and thus the user or system odbc.ini configuration file). OPTIONS -f FILE FILE is a template describing the configuration of the installed OBJECT (only valid with the -i ACTION). -r Act in the same way as for the -f OPTION, but take standard in- put as the template file. -n NAME Specifies the NAME of the OBJECT. -v Disable all information, warning and error messages. -l The specified data source is system-wide. This option is only valid when used with the -s OBJECT. -h The specified data source is user-specific. This option is only valid when used with the -s OBJECT. RETURN VALUES odbcinst returns zero on success and a non-zero value on failure. FILES /etc/odbcinst.ini Configuration file containing all database driver definitions. See odbcinst.ini(5) for more information. /etc/odbc.ini Configuration file containing system-wide Data Source Name (DSN) definitions.
