Linux and UNIX ODBC driver managers

To use the ODBC drivers in a Linux® or UNIX environment, you must install an appropriate driver manager.

You can get driver manager components from a number of sources:
  • Open source projects

    A number of driver managers are available on the web from open source software projects. Netezza Performance Server supports the unixODBC driver manager component for Linux and UNIX platforms. You can obtain information about unixODBC and download kits from the unixODBC Project website (http://www.unixodbc.org).

  • Commercial vendors

    A number of commercial software vendors develop and market ODBC components, including driver managers. Netezza Performance Server has licensed and provides support for the DataDirect driver manager from DataDirect Technologies, which is included with your system. To access the Netezza Performance Server ODBC drivers, it is not necessary to install the version of the DataDirect driver manager that is licensed by the Netezza Performance Server product.
