myODBC on Linux newbie question

2001-04-20 Thread jim

Hi,
  I am setting up MyODBC and iODBC on RedHat 6.2.
I have not found any good linux  docs.  Everyone talks about Windows.

Question,   what directory does . iodbc.ini  go so an app running as 
user 'nobody' will use it.
/root ?
/usr/local/etc/ ?

One doc talked about restarting the driver when .iodbc.ini files has changed.
how do I do that?
For that matter,  how do I start MyODBC / iODBC ?

   these are simple questions, but there is no place I've found that talks about
MyODBC linux in detail.

MySQL is running on another Linux box  and is talking to Webmin just fine.


TIA

- Jim

We are using a shopping cart / front end called WebCatalog
and it needs ODBC.
   I know there are other solutions, but if we can get ODBC working
then there is no code change for WebCatalog

why are you using ODBC if you're trying to connect from one linux box to
a MySQL database housed on another linux box?  You should have other,
better tools available for whatever language you're trying to connect
from...

what exactly are you trying to do?
