Installing solidDB® ODBC Driver
The solidDB® installation program installs two ODBC Drivers: one for Unicode and one for ASCII. The Unicode version is a superset of the ASCII version; you can use it with either Unicode or ASCII character sets. On Windows environments, you can also use the solidDB® installation program to install only the ODBC driver.
Windows
In Windows environments, the solidDB® installation program installs the ODBC drivers and the following system Data Source Names (DSN) automatically. You can also add you own user DSNs.
▪Windows 32-bit operating systems:
– solidDB® 100 32-bit – ANSI
– solidDB® 100 32-bit – Unicode
▪Windows 64-bit operating systems:
– solidDB® 100 64-bit – ANSI
– solidDB® 100 64-bit – Unicode
Linux and UNIX
In Linux and UNIX environments, the ODBC driver library files are installed to the following directories:
▪<solidDB® installation directory>/bin/: dynamic library files
– sac<platform><version>.sa or sac<platform><version>.so (ANSI)
– soc<platform><version>.sa or soc<platform><version>.so (Unicode)
▪<solidDB® installation directory>/lib/: static library files
– solidodbca.sa or solidodbca.so (ANSI) solidodbcu.sa
or
solidodbcu.so (Unicode)
The file extension .sa or .so depends on the operating system.
Installing ODBC drivers without solidDB® installation (Windows)

1 Start the solidDB® installation program.
2 Select Custom installation.
3 Select ODBC (clear Server and Samples).
4 Follow the displayed instructions to complete the installation.
Installing ODBC drivers without solidDB® installation (Linux and UNIX)
