NAME
       unixODBC - An ODBC implementation for Unix

DESCRIPTION
       ODBC is an open specification for 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 to be
       the definitive standard for ODBC on non MS Windows platforms.

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

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       ODBCSYSINI
              Overloads path to unixODBC configuration files. By default
              equals to '/etc'.

       ODBCINSTINI
              Overloads the name of the drivers configuration file. It is
              relative to ODBCSYSINI and by default set to 'odbcinst.ini'.

       ODBCINSTUI
              Overloads the library name for UI. The final name that is
              searched for is evaluated as "lib$ODBCINSTUI". By default it is
              set to 'odbcinstQ4', so the resulting library name is
              'libodbcinstQ4'.

       ODBCSEARCH
              Overloads the configuration mode and determines where to look
              for configuration files. Must be set to one of ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN,
              ODBC_USER_DSN or ODBC_BOTH_DSN (the last one is the default
              value).

       ODBCINI
              Overloads the path to user configuration file. By default it is
              set to "~/.odbc.ini".
