| LINUX / UNIX ODBC DRIVER MANAGER LIBRARY PATH |
Directory path where the ODBC Driver Manager Library is installed. This field is applicable only for Linux/Unix operating system. For a default installation, the ODBC Driver Manager Library is available at /usr/lib64 and does not need to be specified. However, when UnixODBC is installed in for example /opt/unixodbc the value for this field would be /opt/unixodbc/lib. |
ODBC_DM_Lib_Path |
| ODBCSYSINI | Directory path where the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files are located. This field is applicable only for Linux/Unix operating system. For a default installation, these files are available at /etc directory and do not need to be specified using this field. However, when UnixODBC is installed in for example /opt/unixodbc the value for this field would be /opt/unixodbc/etc. The odbcinst.ini file should contain information about the Amazon Redshift ODBC Driver under the heading [Amazon Redshift (x64)]. |
ODBC_Sysini |
| ODBC DRIVER | Name of the user defined (installed) ODBC driver used for connecting DSS to the Amazon Redshift clusters. | ODBC_Driver |
