Compatibility of ODBC driver and unixODBC driver manager with respect to configuration files
The methods that the IBM® Netezza® ODBC driver and the unixODBC driver
manager use to locate the two ODBC configuration files are compatible.
It is relatively
easy to ensure that the Netezza ODBC
driver and the unixODBC driver manager find the configuration files
in the same place. Their uses of
hidden and non-hidden files are also compatible.
If each user must access different Netezza appliance data sources, place hidden configuration files in the home directory of each user. If all users access the same Netezza appliance data sources, place non-hidden configuration files in the /usr/local/etc directory.
With the unixODBC driver manager, you do not need to use the NZ_ODBC_INI_PATH environment variable.
