mxODBC - Python ODBC Database Interface

iODBC needs this section in the odbc.ini file. unixODBC in the odbcinst.ini

file. More recent DataDirect ODBC manager versions accept the section in

both files, older version need it in the odbc.ini file.

[ODBC Drivers]

This section contains one entry per configured and installed ODBC driver,

mapping the driver name to the string "Installed".

~/.odbcinst.ini - User ODBC Driver Configuration

This INI-file provides ODBC driver information on a per user basis. It uses the

same structure as the system wide /etc/odbcinst.ini file.

The drivers defined in this file are only visible to the user account for which it is

defined.

Environment Variables: ODBCINI and ODBCINSTINI

In order to override the default search path used by the ODBC manager for the

above configuration files, the ODBC managers honor a few environment variables

which can be used to direct them to specific alternate files:

ODBCINI

This environment is used by the ODBC manager to find the ODBC data source

configuration file, if set.

ODBCINSTINI

This environment is used by the ODBC manager to find the ODBC driver

configuration file, if set.
