Re: ODBC on SOLARIS

[Arne Gehlhaar]

Hi,

I tried both under Linux and had better results with unixODBC. Although
I have to admid that this might not neccessarily be the fault of iODBC.
I just tried iODBC first but without success.

One thing that speaks for unixODBC ist that comes with a working
setup-library for SAP DB which determines the correct syntax of the
odbc.ini file. Speaking of which: it took some time for me to figure
out, that SAP DB needs the odbc.ini file in /usr/spool/sql/ini and not
in /var/spool/sql/ini (as the docs suggest) or in /etc (where iODBC and
unixODBC put it). Just to be sure I did:

cd /var/spool
ln -s /usr/spool/sql sql
cd /usr/spool/sql/ini
ln -l /etc/odbc.ini odbc.ini

Can someone from the SAP team please confirm that this is the right
location for the odbc.ini file. If so, could you please update the docs.

Thanks,
Arne
