Installing and configuring ODBC (UNIX and Linux®)

This section describes the process for installing and configuring the ODBC driver and configuring your IBM® Netezza® appliance data source.

You can access the tar files that you need for the IBM Netezza ODBC drivers and the ODBC driver installation from the Netezza FTP support site or from the IBM Netezza Client CD. For UNIX systems, the name of the tar file indicates the applicable system. For example, for AIX systems, use the aixcli.package.tar file. For Linux systems, the files are cli.package.tar.z for 32-bit systems and linux64cli.package.tar for 64-bit systems.

After you install the ODBC driver, you configure the driver and data sources and then validate connectivity.
