To use an ODBC connection, you'll need to set up a system Data Source Name (DSN) for
the database or data warehouse-specific ODBC driver, and then install the ODBC
driver and ODBC client on the Secure Agent machine.
An ODBC client can access any database and data warehouse for which you install an
ODBC driver. Ensure that the ODBC driver you install complies with the
ODBC-compliant endpoint to which you want to connect.
An ODBC connection uses only the system DSN. You can't use the user DSN when you
configure an ODBC driver. When you set up the system DSN, you need to specify the
data source name and connection string.
This section provides instructions to configure the ODBC driver on Windows and Linux
machines that host the Secure Agent. You can use these instructions to set up your
endpoint-specific ODBC driver. In certain cases, you might need to set environment
variables after the driver configuration. You can refer to the examples to help you
set up your driver.
