I have a python script that I want to place on a Linux VM running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
The python script requires an ODBC driver to connect to a SQL Server.
I installed the ODBC drivers to the machine following Microsoft's instructions found here.
Whenever I run odbcinst -j I get
unixODBC 2.3.6
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
FILE DATA SOURCES..: /etc/ODBCDataSources
USER DATA SOURCES..: /home/~/.odbc.ini
SQLULEN Size.......: 8
SQLLEN Size........: 8
SQLSETPOSIROW Size.: 8
However when I try to locate the drivers, they can't seem to be found. All of the data sources/drivers above return "no location" when I try to locate. Furthermore, running ls -a /etc/ shows that obdc.ini and obdcinst.ini are file archives.
Is there any way to locate where the driver libraries are stored so I can link that to my script?

I've just installed unixODBC on Pop-OS (Ubuntu 20 base). there's no odbcinst.ini file, just odbc.ini and when I run odbcinst -j I just get the following
odbcinst: symbol lookup error: odbcinst: undefined symbol: SQLManageDataSources
I'm not an experienced ODBC user. I just have a task to connect to SQL Anywhere DB which is a big enough pain as it is, but from what I can see I need unixODBC up and working and then use freetds as the driver (as other drivers are propriety)
However, unixODBC seems to be busted, or I think it is.
I have unixODBC, unixODBC-dev, pyodbc, freetds, freetds-bin, freetds-dev and SQL Anywhere Developers edition installed
I did a reinstall of unixodbc and freetds and it fixed the problem. SqlManageDataSources appears to be a unixODBC function that obviously installed incorrectly
I have installed Postgresql 9.4 on Ubuntu 16.04, and installed postgresql ODBC and Unix ODBC drivers. When I test the ODBC connection with isql it works fine. Also, I am able to connect to the databases using pgadmin III from local and remote locations.
But, when I am trying to install a software which will create a connection using ODBC I am getting the following error
Connect failed!
Error code = -1
Status from database system is: STATE=01000, CODE=0, MSG=[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/psqlodbca.so' : file not found
ERROR(-1)
But the library actually exists in this location. Please advise. I have attached the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini for your reference.

The version of the psqlodbca.so is shown as 'stripped'. However, in the documentation of the software that I am trying to install it mentions to use 'not stripped' version. Could you please help me understand how could I procure the 'not stripped' version of the client library?
The problem was with the packaged libraries in the software that I was using to communicate to the database. After removing liblber-2.4.so.2 from the software lib, this started working.
For your reference, if any of you out there, is facing same problem while installing Opentext Documentum 7.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 and PostgreSQL 9.4, you might be hitting the same issue.
I am trying to install odbc driver on linux but could not check either it's install or not , please tell me how to check odbc driver are install on linux
Both Debian and Redhat/CentOS have a config file that lists all the ODBC drivers you have installed on the system.

There are two open source ODBC driver managers for UNIX (unixODBC and iODBC). unixODBC Driver Manager as it is the one included with most Linux distributions and some UNIX distributions.
In unixODBC ODBC drivers are defined in the odbcinst.ini file. If unixODBC is already installed you can use unixODBC's odbcinst program to locate the odbcinst.ini file used to defined drivers:
$ odbcinst -j
unixODBC 2.2.11
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
USER DATA SOURCES..: /root/.odbc.ini
Note, the above command also shows the version of unixODBC, in this case version 2.2.11.
We have an application which works with oracle. Our application servers run in the Linux Platforms, and we have database servers running on the Windows machine. We are currently testing the new Progress ODBC driver to connect the Oracle DB from Linux server. So i have installed the DATA DIRECT PROGRESS ORACLE ODBC DRIVER, when i try to connect i got the below error
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/home/user/install/os410042/var/progress/DataDirect/Connect64_for_ODBC_71/lib/ddora27.so' : file not found
below is my ODBC.ini entry , and through isql i can able to connect to the Oracle Machine , but only my application is unable to connect.

ldd ddora27.so also fine , it doesnt show anything not found.
Run the DataDirect setup script to set variables: Two scripts, odbc.csh and odbc.sh, are installed in the installation directory. For Korn, Bourne, and equivalent shells, execute odbc.sh. For a C shell, execute odbc.csh. After running the setup script, execute the env command to verify that the ODBCHOME/lib directory has been added to your shared library path.
Link to related documentation.
An application restart may be required to pick up the new shared library path. Once the environment is configured, you'll be able to load the drivers.
I can't figure it out how to connect to a Pervasive DB on a Windows Server machine from an Ubuntu Linux 64bit via ODBC.
I installed unixodbc, then 32bit Pervasive Client 11sp2 from here and after moving the tar content to /usr/local/psql and executing the clientpreinstall.sh and the clientpostinstall.sh I did the dsnadd command, adding the dba source.
Now, if I try to test the ODBC connection with isql -v dba i get the following:
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/local/psql/lib/odbcci.so' : file not found
odbcci.so exists in that dir.
What should I do to make it work?
This is a similar problem to the one in another question:
Pervasive ODBC on Linux Error [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/local/psql/lib/odbcci.so' : file not found
The answer is that you need to either run as the user psql which was created by the Pervasive install script, or source the .bashrc from that user's home prior to attempting an ODBC connection.
