Password: Set this to the password of a user allowed to access the database.User: Set this to the username of a user allowed to access the database.Database: Set this to the name of the IBM Informix database.Port: Set this to the port the IBM Informix server is listening on.Server: Set this to the name of the server running IBM Informix.Set the following properties to connect to IBM Informix Additionally, you can create user-specific DSNs that will not require root access to modify in $HOME/.odbc.ini.

You can modify the DSN by editing the system data sources file (/etc/odbc.ini) and defining the required connection properties.

The driver installation predefines a system DSN. DriverManagerEncoding = UTF-16 Modifying the DSN To do so, edit the INI file for the driver (), which can be found in the lib folder in the installation location (typically /opt/cdata/cdata-odbc-driver-for-informix), as follows:. To use the CData ODBC Driver for IBM Informix with unixODBC, ensure that the driver is configured to use UTF-16. List the Defined Data Source(s) $ odbcinst -q -sCData Informix Source.
#Informix odbc parameterized query syntax column name drivers#
Once the driver is installed, you can list the registered drivers and defined data sources using the unixODBC driver manager: List the Registered Driver(s) $ odbcinst -q -dCData ODBC Driver for IBM Informix. rpms, run the following command with sudo or as root: $ rpm -i /path/to/package.rpm The driver installer registers the driver with unixODBC and creates a system DSN, which can be used later in any tools or applications that support ODBC connectivity.įor Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, run the following command with sudo or as root: $ dpkg -i /path/to/bįor Red Hat systems and other systems that support.

Once you have downloaded the file, you can install the driver from the terminal. You can download the driver in standard package formats: the Debian. Below is an example of the output of this command: DRIVERS.: /etc/odbcinst.iniSYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.iniFILE DATA SOURCES.: /etc/ODBCDataSourcesUSER DATA SOURCES.: /home/myuser/.odbc.iniSQLULEN Size.: 8SQLLEN Size.: 8SQLSETPOSIROW Size.: 8 Installing the Driver System data sources can be accessed by all users. User data sources can only be accessed by the user account whose home folder the odbc.ini is located in. The output of the command will display the locations of the configuration files for ODBC data sources and registered ODBC drivers. You can determine the location of the configuration files on your system by entering the following command into a terminal: $ odbcinst -j

The unixODBC driver manager reads information about drivers from an odbcinst.ini file and about data sources from an odbc.ini file. For this article, you will use unixODBC, a free and open source ODBC driver manager that is widely supported.įor Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, you can install unixODBC with the APT package manager: $ sudo apt-get install unixODBC unixODBC-devįor systems based on Red Hat Linux, you can install unixODBC with yum or dnf: $ sudo yum install unixODBC unixODBC-devel Installing the Driver Managerīefore installing the driver, check that your system has a driver manager. For more information on the supported versions of Linux operating systems and the required libraries, please refer to the 'Getting Started' section in the help documentation (installed and found online). There are also several libraries and packages that are required, many of which may be installed by default, depending on your system. The CData ODBC Drivers are supported in various Red Hat-based and Debian-based systems, including Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora. Using the CData ODBC Drivers on a UNIX/Linux Machine

This article shows how to use the pyodbc built-in functions to connect to IBM Informix data, execute queries, and output the results. With the CData Linux/UNIX ODBC Driver for IBM Informix and the pyodbc module, you can easily build IBM Informix-connected Python applications. The rich ecosystem of Python modules lets you get to work quicker and integrate your systems more effectively.
