Client APIs and toolsYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of client APIs to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver GuideThe HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver Programmer's Manual serves as a user guide and reference for HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver, which is the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the Microsoft™ Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface, Version 3.0.
Configure data sourcesThese topics explain how to configure a data source (DSN) on UNIX™ and Windows™ for HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver.
Configure a DSN on UNIX™The configuration files provide information, such as driver attributes, that the driver uses to connect to DSNs.
The odbc.ini fileThe odbc.ini file is a sample data-source configuration information file.
ODBC Data SourcesEach entry in the ODBC Data Sources section lists a DSN and the driver name.

ODBC Data Sources

Each entry in the ODBC Data Sources section lists a DSN and the driver name.

The data_source_name value is any name that you choose. It is like an envelope that contains all relevant connection information about the DSN.

The following example illustrates an ODBC data-source format:

[ODBC Data Sources] 
data_source_name=IBM INFORMIX ODBC DRIVER

The following example defines two DSNs called EmpInfo and CustInfo:

[ODBC Data Sources] 
EmpInfo=IBM INFORMIX ODBC DRIVER 
CustInfo=IBM INFORMIX ODBC DRIVER
