     README for picoODBC ODBC driver for picoSQL


picoODBC is an odbc driver that works on UNIX/Linux environments too.
Unfortunately there isn't a standard ODBC on theese environments, neither
there is a standard method to get shared libraries on all Unices O.S.
The makefiles in this package are for Linux.

The most common UNIX/Linux ODBC environments are iodbc (www.iodbc.org) and
unixODBC (www.unixodbc.org).

From the compilation you get two shared library:

- libpicoodbc.so
- libpicoodbcS.so

The former is the ODBC library, the latter is the installation library
for unixODBC.
Anyway, the informations to supply in the odbc.ini configuration file are the
same of the picosql.ini file (see the picoSQL documentation) for client
applications. The following example shows the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini
configuration files used in the unixODBC environment.
