Configure the Teradata ODBC driver on Linux

Configure the Teradata ODBC driver on Linux

Before you establish an ODBC connection to connect to Teradata on Linux, configure the ODBC driver.
  1. Add the path of the
    odbc.ini
     file to the ODBCINI environment variable. For example, 
    setenv ODBCINI "/data/home/adputf_9/cloud_td/ODBCINI/odbc.ini"
  2. To set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, use the following syntax: 
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/opt/teradata/client/<Version>/lib64"
  3. Add entries for the Teradata data sources in the
    odbc.ini
     file.
    The following section shows a sample entry in the
    odbc.ini
     file:
