Adding the Datasourse on Linux systems
Before you edit the INI files, make sure the PostgreSQL database is up and running.
NOTE
For RedHat and Oracle Enterprise systems, the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files are located in /etc. For
SUSE systems, the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files are located in /etc/unixODBC.
1. Open the odbc.ini file in an editor and enter the datasource information as follows:
[TestDB]
Description = PostgreSQL 8.4
Driver = /opt/PostgreSQL/psqlODBC/lib/psqlodbcw.so
Database = dcmdb
Servername = 172.26.1.54
UserName = dcmadmin
Password = passw0rd
Port = 5432
2. Save and close the odbc.ini file.
3. Open the odbcinst.ini file in a text editor and make sure that the driver path information is
correct.
After you install the PostgreSQL ODBC driver, the odbcinst.ini should automatically update the
driver path. If the direver path is not updated, add the following:
[psqlODBC]
Description=PostgreSQL ODBC driver
Driver=/opt/PostgreSQL/psqlODBC/lib/psqlodbcw.so
4. Save and close the odbcinst.ini file.
