Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server on Linux by the SAP HANA Academy. Introduction. At the SAP HANA Academy we are currently updating our tutorial videos about SAP HANA administration SAP HANA Administration You. Tube. One of the topics that we are working on is SAP HANA smart data access SDA SAP HANA Smart Data Access You. Tube. Configuring SDA involves the following activities. Install an ODBC driver on the SAP HANA server. Create an ODBC data source for remote data sources that require an ODBC Driver ManagerCreate a remote data source using SQL or SAP HANA studioCreate virtual tables and use them in calculation views, etc. As of SPS 1. 1, the following remote data sources are supported Apache Hadoop Simba Apache Hive ODBCApache Spark. In the SAP HANA Administration Guide, prerequisites and procedures are documented for each supported data source, but the information is intended as a simple guide and you will need to consult the original driver documentation provided by the driver manufacturer for more detailed information. In this series of blogs, I will provide more detailed information about how perform activity 1. ODBC on the SAP HANA server. The topic of this blog is the installation and configuration of the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server on Linux. Video Tutorial. In the video tutorial below, I will show you in less than 1. If you would like to have more detailed information, please read on. Supported ODBC Driver Configurations. At the time of writing, there are two ODBC drivers for SQL Server available for the Linux and Windows platform version 1. Preview. For SAP HANA smart data access, the only supported configuration is Microsoft ODBC Driver 1. SQL Server 2. 01. Supported means that this combination has been validated by SAP development. It does not mean that the other combinations do not work they probably work just fine. However, if you run into trouble, you will be informed to switch to a supported configuration. Information about supported configurations is normally provided in the SAP Product Availability Matrix on the SAP Support Portal, however, so far only ASE and IQ are listed. For the full list of supported remote data sources, see SAP Note 1. SAP HANA Smart Data Access Central Note. ODBCOn the Windows platform, the ODBC driver manager is bundled together with the operating system but on UNIX and Linux this is not the case so you will have to install one. The unix. ODBC project is open source. Both SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES and Red Hat. Enterprise Linux RHEL provide a supported version of unix. ODBC bundled with the operating system RPM package. However, Microsoft does not support these bundled unix.

This is described below. System Requirements. First, you will need to validate that certain OS packages are installed and if not, install them System Requirements. This concerns packages like the GNU C Library glibc, GNU Standard C library libstdc, the GNU Compiler Collection GCC to name a few, without which you will not get very far compiling software. Install and configure the ODBC database driver required to connect to the remote source. This process varies by driver. Whats in the Release Notes. The release notes cover the following topics Whats New Earlier Releases of vCenter Server 6. Patches Contained in this Release. Tip. If your server needs support for a specific version of PHP, Python, Apache, MapServer, GDAL, Oracle, ECW, or any of MS4Ws hundreds of libraries, or a specific. Using ActiveX Data Objects 2. Library as a Reference from Excel VBA, and the connection string is DriverMicrosoft ODBC for Oracle. And I also have the. Also, as the Microsoft ODBC Driver supports integrated security, Kerberos and Open. SSL libraries are required. Installing the Driver Manager. Next, you will need to download and build the source for the unix.

Note the PREFIX, LIBDIR and SYSCONFDIR directives. This will put the unix. ODBC driver manager executables odbcinst, isql, the shared object driver files, and the system configuration files odbcinst. With this configuration, there is no need to set the environment variables PATH, LDLIBRARYPATH and ODBCINSTINI for the login shell. Installing the Microsoft ODBC Driver. Next, we can install the ODBC driver Installing the Microsoft ODBC Driver 1. SQL Server on Linux. Take a look again at the output of the builddm. Note the passage PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL POTENTIALLY INSTALL THE NEW DRIVER MANAGER OVER ANYEXISTING UNIXODBC DRIVER MANAGER. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER COPY OF UNIXODBC INSTALLED,THIS MAY POTENTIALLY OVERWRITE THAT COPY. For this reason, you might want to make a backup of the driver configuration file odbcinst. Make a backup of odbcinst. Run install. sh install. The script will register the Microsoft driver with the unix. ODBC driver manager. You can verify this with the odbcinst utility odbcinst q d n ODBC Driver 1. SQL ServerShould the install have overwritten any any previous configuration, you either need to register the drivers with the driver manager again or, and this might be easier, restore the odbcinst. Microsoft driver. For this, create a template file for example, mssql. ODBC Driver 1. 1 for SQL ServerDescriptionMicrosoft ODBC Driver 1. SQL Server. Driveroptmicrosoftmsodbcsqllib. Threading1. Then register the driver with the driver manager using the command odbcinst i d f mssql. Create the data source and test the connection. Finally, we can register a data source with the driver manager. For this, create a template file and save it as mssql. You can give the data source any name. Here MSSQLTest is used, but for production systems, using the database name might be more sensible spaces are allowed for the data source name. Driver name of the driver in odbcinst.

Register the DSN with the driver manager as System DSN using the odbcinst utility odbcinst i s l f mssql. Verify odbcinst q s l n MSSQLTestTest connection isql v MSSQLTest lt username lt password The v erbose flag can useful in case the connection fails, as it will tell you, for example, that your password is incorrect. For more troubleshooting, see below. System or User Data Source. It is up to you, of course, whether to register the data source as a system data source or a user data source. As the SAP HANA server typically is a dedicated database system, using only system data sources has two advantages Single location of data source definitions. Persistence for system updates. With the data sources defined in a single location, debugging connectivity issues is simplified, particularly when multiple drivers are used. With the data sources defined outside of the SAP HANA installation directory, you avoid that your odbc. To register the DSN with the driver manager as User DSN using the odbcinst utility, connect with your user account and execute odbcinst i s h f mssql. The difference is the h home flag and not l local. Verify odbcinst q s h n MSSQLTestTest connection same as when connecting to a system data source isql v MSSQLTest lt username lt password Note that when no user data source is defined, odbcinst will return a SQLGet.

You dont need to have an Oracle Client installed on your machine to use Oracle SQL Developer. Everything you need to connect to Oracle Database is provided by the JDBC driver included with the download. So you can be up and running in usually less than 5 minutes. But if you DO happen to have a Client on your machine, youll be happier. If youre too lazy to go read the above post, here it is in a nutshell JDBC doesnt do everything that OCI can. OCI does a better job at reliably cancelling queries. OCI has better support for advanced data types including XMLSo, if youre on board with the idea of connecting up your Oracle Client with SQL Developer, lets talk about how to get that going. Prior to version 4, you would tell SQL Developer to use the OCIThick driver by the way, OCI stands for Oracle Client Interface. Yes or No, basically. The problem here is that many of you have more than one Client on your machine. So not being able to explicitly tell SQL Developer WHICH client to use was problematic. So in version 4, weve enhanced the preferences to allow you to tell us exactly what client to use. Now you can say what client you want us to use. Note the actual PATH I have here is Instant Client file C Program FilesOracle1. Instant. Clientinstantclient1. You can put the Instant Client anywhere on your machine, but we need the directory location of where we can find these files We get really picky, so you need to get this RIGHT. The Preferences. Use Oracle Client. This tells SQL Developer WHERE your client is. It will then use this location to attempt to load the OCI stuff when doing things like a Password Reset on an expired connection. It wont cause SQL Developer to use the OCIThick driver for connections though. Rainbow Six Lockdown Download Pc Full there. Use OCI Thick Driver. This DOES tell SQL Developer to make OCIThick connections to your Oracle database. It will use the client specified in the previous preference. SQL Developer will attempt to confirm that your Client is available once you click OK. If its an Instant Client, it will check the OS Path to make sure its there. Note we can only look at the first item in the path, so you may get a false positive, in which case you can ignore by clicking Yes here. This just says, we tried to find this in the Path and failed you can ignore IF you can connect. How Do I Know if I Did it RightYou can check two things. One on a disconnected connection, right click. If you see Reset Password available, youre golden. Two, you can open Help About and check the properties a la SQL Developer IS able to load the drivers, you winOne Last Thing. SQL Developer 4 ships with an 1. JDBC driver. That means youll want at least an 1. Client for this to be compatible with SQL Developer. At some point well ship with a 1. But well worry about that later.
