Thanks very much for the pointer. I attempted to follow the
instructions, installing the SQLite ODBC Driver, but I have installation
problems. (If you configure wrong, an attempt to access a database will
lock up your system so badly that you need to reboot).
My particular system runs KDE, which requires iodbc for many
applications, so that is what I am using for the database interface.
Iodbc has two kinds of configuration files in two places, namely:
/etc/odbc.ini
/etc/odbcinst.ini
~/.odbc.ini
~/.odbcinst.ini (maybe not used)
The iodbc web site has info about ~/.odbc.ini, and by implication
about /etc/odbc.ini, which contains (I believe) default info; but it has
nothing about /etc/odbcinst.ini. Can someone enlighten me about the
relation about these files and what they are used for?
