Using UNIX or Linux–Based Query Tools Through ODBC

There are several ways to use ODBC to connect to UNIX or Linux-based Query tools.

UNIX-like operating systems do not provide a standard ODBC driver manager, but you can use the driver manager emulation capabilities provided by the SAP Sybase IQ ODBC driver to connect to the driver.

Tools that do not require extensive driver manager services can use symbolic links to connect directly to the driver. Tools that require a driver manager may ship with a driver manager.

For information and recommendations about compatible driver managers available for specific applications, see the documentation for the application.
