33 <para>
34 The <application>unixODBC</application> package is an Open Source
35 ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) sub-system and an ODBC SDK for Linux, Mac
36 OSX, and UNIX. ODBC is an open specification for providing application
37 developers with a predictable API with which to access data sources. Data
38 sources include optional SQL Servers and any data source with an ODBC Driver.
39 <application>unixODBC</application> contains the following components used
40 to assist with the manipulation of ODBC data sources: a driver manager, an
41 installer library and command line tool, command line tools to help install
42 a driver and work with SQL, drivers and driver setup libraries.

157 The files in <filename class='directory'>/etc/unixODBC</filename>
158 are meant to be configured by the system administrator (or the ODBC site
159 administrator if appropriate privileges are granted to
160 <filename class='directory'>/etc/unixODBC</filename>). These files
161 are not meant to be directly edited. The ODBC installer library is
162 responsible for reading and writing the

167 Unfortunately, there are not many <command>man</command>, or any
168 <command>info</command> pages for the various programs available in the
169 <application>unixODBC</application> package. Along with the information
170 in the <quote>Short Descriptions</quote> below and the documentation
171 installed in <filename
172 class='directory'>/usr/share/doc/unixODBC-&unixodbc-version;</filename>,
173 there are many <filename>README</filename> files throughout the source
174 tree where the use and functionality of the programs can be found.
175 Additionally, you can use the parameter <option>-?</option> for syntax
176 and usage information. Lastly, the <application>unixODBC</application>
177 web site at <ulink url="http://www.unixodbc.org/"/> has very good
178 information.
