Can someone enlighten me about the > relation about these files and what they are used for? odbcinst.ini defines the name of the ODBC drivers present on the system, and the locations/libraries to be used when an ODBC connection protocol is invoked by a third party application, see the examples below that I have on my Macbook : [ODBC Drivers] Actual SQL Server = Installed Actual Open Source Databases = Installed Actual Oracle = Installed Actual Access = Installed MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver = Installed [Actual SQL Server] Driver = /Library/ODBC/Actual SQL Server.bundle/Contents/MacOS/atsqlsrv.so Setup = [Actual Open Source Databases] Driver = /Library/ODBC/Actual Open Source Databases.bundle/Contents/MacOS/atopnsrc.so Setup = [Actual Oracle] Driver = /Library/ODBC/Actual Oracle.bundle/Contents/MacOS/atoradb.so Setup = [Actual Access] Driver = /Library/ODBC/Actual Access.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ataccess.so Setup = [MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver] Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc5.so SETUP = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc3S.so odbc.ini defines the connection parameters to access a given data source name (DSN), see my example below for my Macbook : [ODBC Data Sources] Actual_MAMP = Actual Open Source Databases myodbc = MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver IPDB_MAMP = MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver ipdatabase = MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver [ODBC] Trace = 0 TraceAutoStop = 0 TraceFile = TraceLibrary = [Actual_MAMP] Driver = /Library/ODBC/Actual Open Source Databases.bundle/Contents/MacOS/atopnsrc.so Description = Actual Driver to MAMP Database = ipdatabase Server = localhost Port = 8889 IncludeViews = Yes UserID = alex UseKeychain = Yes [myodbc] Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc5.so Description = Generic myodbc connection SERVER = localhost PORT = 3306 [IPDB_MAMP] Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc5.so Description = MyODBC Connection via Mamp port Server = 127.0.0.1 Port = 8889 [ipdatabase] Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc5.so Description = IP management db Server = 127.0.0.1 Port = 3306 Entries defined in /etc/ are system-wide, i.e. in theory available to every user declared on the system, entries put in the local user file are only available to that particular user.
