Linux DSN Configuration - ODBC Driver for Firebird

Linux DSN Configuration

After the linux (DEB or RPM) driver is installed, a DSN with the name DEVART_FIREBIRD is created. You can use it to test the connection with the FIREBIRD server. For this, perform the following steps:

1. Open the odbc.ini file located in the /etc folder. Find the DEVART_FIREBIRD section and specify the required connection settings:

   
       
       User ID=<your Firebird User Name>
       Password=<your Firebird password>
       Server=<your Firebird server address>
       Port=<your Firebird Port>
       Database=<your Firebird database name>
       Client Library=<path to the used Firebird client library>
   

2. Run the UnixODBC Test Command utility and test a connection using the following command:

   isql -v DEVART_FIREBIRD
