NAME

       odbcinst - An unixODBC tool for manipulating configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       odbcinst ACTION OBJECT OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       odbcinst is a command line tool which has been created for allowing people who are developing the install
       scripts/RPMs  for  Drivers  to be able to easily create/remove entries in odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. This
       command line tool is a complement to the shared library of the same name (libodbcinst.so). This tool is a
       part of the odbcinst component of unixODBC.

OPTIONS

   ACTIONS
       -i     Install (add section to config file) new OBJECT.

       -u     Uninstall (remove section from config file) existing OBJECT.

       -q     Query the config files and print the options for specified OBJECT.

       -j     Prints current configuration of unixODBC, listing (among others) the paths  to  the  configuration
              files.

       -c     Calls SQLCreateDataSource

       -m     Calls SQLManageDataSources

       --version
              Prints program version and exits.

   OBJECTS
       -d     The ACTION affect drivers (and thus the odbcinst.ini configuration file).

       -s     The ACTION affect data sources (and thus the user or system odbc.ini configuration file).

   OPTIONS
       -f FILE
              The FILE is template file, describing the configuration of installed OBJECT (only valid for the -i
              ACTION).

       -r     Same as the -f OPTION, only take the standard input as the template file.

       -n NAME
              Specifies the NAME of the OBJECT.

       -v     Turn off verbose mode. This turns off all information, warning and error messages.

       -l     The specified data source is system-wide. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.

       -h     The specified data source is user-specific. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.

RETURN VALUES

       This command returns zero on success and non-zero value on failure.
