<title>Installation</title>
<para>
- The first thing to note about the <productname>psqlODBC</> driver
- (or any <acronym>ODBC</> driver) is that there must exist a
- <firstterm>driver manager</> on the system where the
- <acronym>ODBC</> driver is to be used. There exists a free
- <acronym>ODBC</> driver for Unix called
- <indexterm><primary>iODBC</primary></indexterm>
- <productname>iODBC</> which can be obtained via <ulink
- url="http://www.iodbc.org">http://www.iodbc.org</ulink>.
- Instructions for installing <productname>iODBC</> are contained in
- the <productname>iODBC</> distribution. Having said that, any
- driver manager that you can find for your platform should support
- the <productname>psqlODBC</> driver, or any other <acronym>ODBC</>
- driver for that matter.
+ In order to make use of an <acronym>ODBC</> driver there must
+ exist a <firstterm>driver manager</> on the system where the
+ <acronym>ODBC</> driver is to be used. There are two free
+ <acronym>ODBC</> driver managers for Unix-like operating systems
+ known to us: <indexterm><primary>iODBC</primary></indexterm>
+ <ulink url="http://www.iodbc.org"><productname>iODBC</></ulink>
+ and <indexterm><primary>unixODBC</primary></indexterm> <ulink
+ url="http://www.unixodbc.org"><productname>unixODBC</></ulink>.
+ Instructions for installing these driver managers are to be found
+ in the respective distribution. Software that provides database
+ access through <acronym>ODBC</acronym> should provide its own
+ driver manager (which may well be one of these two). Having said
+ that, any driver manager that you can find for your platform
+ should support the <productname>PostgreSQL</> <acronym>ODBC</>
+ driver, or any other <acronym>ODBC</> driver for that matter.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ The <productname>unixODBC</> distribution ships with a
+ <productname>PostgreSQL</> <acronym>ODBC</> driver of its own,
+ which is similar to the one contained in the
+ <productname>PostgreSQL</> distribution. It is up to you which
+ one you want to use. We plan to coordinate the development of
+ both drivers better in the future.
+ </para>
+ </note>
+
+ <para>
+ To install the <acronym>ODBC</> you simply need to supply the
+ <option>--enable-odbc</> option to the <filename>configure</>
+ script when you are building the entire <productname>PostgreSQL</>
+ distribution. The library will then automatically be built and
+ installed with the rest of the programs. If you forget that option
+ or want to build the ODBC driver later you can change into the
+ directory <filename>src/interfaces/odbc</> and do <literal>make</>
+ and <literal>make install</> there.

- To install <productname>psqlODBC</> you simply need to supply the

+ It is also possible to build the driver to be specifically tuned
+ for use with <productname>iODBC</> or <productname>unixODBC</>.
+ This means in particular that the driver will use the driver
+ manager's routines to process the configuration files, which is
+ probably desirable since it creates a more consistent
+ <acronym>ODBC</> environment on your system. If you want to do
+ that, then supply the <filename>configure</> options
+ <option>--with-iodbc</> or <option>--with-unixodbc</> (but not

<para>
- The installation-wide configuration file <filename>odbcinst.ini</> will be
- installed into the directory <filename>/usr/local/pgsql/etc/</>, or equivalent,
- depending on what <option>--prefix</> and/or <option>--sysconfdir</> options
- you supplied to <filename>configure</>. Since this file can also be shared
- between different <acronym>ODBC</> drivers you can also install it in a shared
- location. To do that, override the location of this file with the
- <option>--with-odbcinst</> option.
+ If you build a <quote>stand-alone</quote> driver (not tied to
+ <productname>iODBC</> or <productname>unixODBC</>), then you can
+ specify where the driver should look for the configuration file
+ <filename>odbcinst.ini</>. By default it will be the directory
+ <filename>/usr/local/pgsql/etc/</>, or equivalent, depending on
+ what <option>--prefix</> and/or <option>--sysconfdir</> options
+ you supplied to <filename>configure</>. To select a specific
+ location outside the <productname>PostgreSQL</> installation
+ layout, use the <option>--with-odbcinst</> option. To be most
+ useful, it should be arranged that the driver and the driver
+ manager read the same configuration file.
