Does anybody here have any experience with unixODBC and MyODBC? I'd like to ask some questions...

[Chris O'Brien]

I used unixODBC for a few months about a year ago. I think I started a thread in the Web Developer forum about it, actually.

What's the questions? I'll see if I can remember anything.

Well,

I'm wondering what the equivalent of Apple's ODBC Administrator there is for unixODBC setups, for starters. How did you setup a DSN for unixODBC?

Well, here's the thread I started on unixODBC a while back. The last post has a bit of info.

To setup a DSN, use ODBCConfig - it's very much like Microsoft's ODBC admin thingy. It's a GUI app you'll probably need to run under X11 (haven't checked if anyone's done a native OS X version for it) so there may be a bunch of dependencies you'll need to install etc, but it's nice and simple to use. There's a bunch of info at the site: http://www.unixodbc.com/
