Installing ODBC on Linux VM Instance
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?
