Setting Environment Variables

You must set several environment variables for the ODBC Client on Linux and UNIX by executing a shell script located in the installation directory.

To execute the shell script:

If you are using the Bourne or Korn shell, type:
. sqlnk.sh (for 32-bit client)
. sqlnk64.sh (for 64-bit client)
If you are using the C shell, type:
source sqlnk.csh (for 32-bit client)
source sqlnk64.csh (for 64-bit client)

Executing this shell script sets the following environment variables:

ODBCINI	Specifies where the centralized odbc.ini or odbc64.ini file is located.
SQLNK_ODBC_HOME	Specifies the full path of the directory containing the ODBC Client shared libraries.

Executing this shell script also sets the appropriate library search environment variable (LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Solaris and Linux, SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX, or LIBPATH on AIX).
