Creating an Oracle DSN on UNIX

On UNIX, you may set up the driver in an ODBC system information file (typically called .odbc.ini).

  1. Use a text editor to edit the system information file. The section for this driver should appear as follows (with appropriate values entered for each field):
    [sample_dsn_using_the_sa_odbc_driver_for_oracle]
    Driver=full-path/libdboraodbc16_r.so
    UserID=user-id
    Password=password
    SID=TNS-service-name
    ProcResults=[yes|no]
    ArraySize=bytes
  2. Click Add.
  3. Choose iAnywhere Solutions 16 - Oracle, then click Finish.
  4. Specify the configuration options.
  5. Click Test Connection, then click OK.
