NAME
       unixODBC	- An ODBC implementation for Unix

DESCRIPTION
       ODBC  is	 an open specification providing application developers	with a
       predictable 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
       definitive standard for ODBC on non-Windows platforms.

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

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       ODBCSYSINI
	      Sets the full path to the	directory containing the unixODBC con-
	      figuration files.	By default, this is '/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'.

       ODBCINI
	      Sets the full path to  the  system-wide  unixODBC	 configuration
	      file  containing	Data  Source Names (DSNs). By default, this is
	      set to '/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 'libodbcinstQ4'.

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