Configure an ODBC Driver Manager on Linux

A sample DSN named DEVART_ORACLE is created during the driver installation. You can configure and adjust the DSN parameters as needed.

1. Open the odbc.ini file in a text editor, for example, nano.

sudo nano /etc/odbc.ini

2. Add the configuration for your DSN in the odbc.ini file.

[DEVART_ORACLE]
Driver=Devart ODBC Driver for Oracle
Direct=True
Host=your_oracle_server_name
Port=your_oracle_listener_port
Service Name=your_oracle_database_name
UserID=your_oracle_user_id 
Password=your_oracle_password

Create a DSN by configuring the odbc.ini file

3. Save and close the file.

4. Optional: Test the connection using isql, the ODBC command-line tool.

isql -v DEVART_ORACLE

Once connected, you can run SQL queries to retrieve data from Oracle.

Note

If the password isn’t saved in the DSN, you’ll be prompted to enter it at runtime when connecting to a data source. If the password is saved in the DSN, leave the User ID and Password fields empty.
