From http://www.unixodbc.org/internals.html
<qoute>
The odbc.ini file contains a list of Data Sources and any properties for each. There are two types of odbc.ini files; 1) System and 2) User. The System odbc.ini file exists as /etc/odbc.ini while the user usually exist as ~/.odbc.ini.

If driver managers store the ini-files in other places, how should the driver know where to look?


With kind regards  Thomas
