Configuring a PostgreSQL ODBC connection on Linux

Configuring a PostgreSQL ODBC connection on Linux

Before you establish an ODBC connection to connect to PostgreSQL on Linux, you must configure the ODBC connection.
Perform the following steps to configure an ODBC connection on Linux:
  1. To get the PostgreSQL ODBC 64-bit driver, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
  2. Install the PostgreSQL ODBC driver on the machine where the Secure Agent is installed.
  3. Configure the
    odbc.ini
     file properties with the required database details.
    For example, see the following sample ODBC.ini snippet: 
    [ODBC_PostgreSQL]
Driver=/<ODBC driver file path>/DWpsql<ODBC driver version number>.so
Description=PostgreSQL DSN
HostName=<hostname>
PortNumber=5432
Database=<databasename>
  4. Run the following command to export the
    odbc.ini
     file: 
    Export ODBCINI=/<odbc.ini file path>/odbc.ini
  5. Restart the Secure Agent.
The PostgreSQL ODBC connection on Linux is configured successfully.
After you configure the PostgreSQL ODBC connection, you must create an ODBC connection to connect to PostgreSQL.
