Configuring the Environment
By default, the configuration files reside in the user’s home directory. However, two
environment variables, ODBCINI and ODBCSYSINI, can be used to specify different locations for
the odbc.ini
and odbcinst.ini
configuration files. Set
ODBCINI to point to your odbc.ini
file. Set ODBCSYSINI to point to the
directory containing the odbcinst.ini file. For example, if your odbc.ini
file is located in /etc
and your odbcinst.ini
file is
located in /usr/local/odbc
, then set the environment variables as
follows:
export ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini export ODBCSYSINI=/usr/local/odbc
export ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini export ODBCSYSINI=/usr/local/odbc
For version 2.1.8 and above, you must also set MAPRHIVEINI to point to the mapr.hiveodbc.ini file in the user's home directory:
export MAPRHIVEINI=/etc/.mapr.hiveodbc.ini
For version 2.1.5 and below, you set MAPRINI to point to the mapr.hiveodbc.ini file in the user's home directory:
export MAPRINI=/<user_home>/.mapr.hiveodbc.ini
