<div><p>Learn how to manually configure data source options that can not
|
|
be set on the GUI.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>The <samp class="codeph">ODBC data source graphical user interface(GUI)</samp> contains
|
|
a subset of the most commonly used connection options. Additional connection
|
|
options are specified by the connecting application or by editing the <samp class="codeph">.odbc.ini</samp> file.</p>
|
|
<p> It
|
|
is strongly recommended that you reference the Connection string keywords
|
|
topic before manually configuring connection options.</p>
|
|
<p>Use the following
|
|
steps to add connection options to the <samp class="codeph">.odbc.ini</samp> file:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>Open the <samp class="codeph">.odbc.ini</samp> file on your workstation using
|
|
a text editor. </span><ul><li>For user data sources, this file is in the root directory of the user
|
|
who created the data source. For example, the file for user "<var class="varname">exampleUser</var>"
|
|
is <samp class="codeph">/home/<var class="varname">exampleUser</var>/.odbc.ini</samp>. </li>
|
|
<li>For system data sources, .odbc.ini is located in /etc/odbc.ini or
|
|
/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini depending on how you installed the unixODBC driver
|
|
manager.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span>If there are multiple ODBC data sources in the <samp class="codeph">.odbc.ini
|
|
file</samp>, locate the section in the file that contains the data source,
|
|
that is the target for the additional connection options you are configuring. </span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Add a new row after the last entry in the data source and enter
|
|
the new connection option and its value. </span><ul><li>The syntax is <samp class="codeph">keyword = value</samp>. </li>
|
|
<li>For example, if you want to change the date format from its default
|
|
of 5 (yyyy-mm-dd or *ISO), to 1 (mm/dd/yy or *MDY), you would add <samp class="codeph">DFT
|
|
= 1</samp> in the new row. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span>Repeat step 3 to add additional connection options to the data
|
|
source.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Save the <samp class="codeph">.odbc.ini</samp> file.</span></li>
