Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge

Why do I get "Data source not found and no default driver" message when I am sure I have defined the DSN in my odbc.ini file?

If you get this error and are sure that a DSN exists with the same name as the one you specified, check for the following:

• The section for the DSN in the odbc.ini file needs to contain the following entry:

  Driver = ODBC-ODBC Bridge

  -Or-

  Driver = ODBC-ODBC Bridge_r

  for the thread-safe Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge Client driver.

• The odbcinst.ini file needs to contain an entry for the ODBC-ODBC Bridge Client driver. The entry looks similar to this:

  [ODBC-ODBC Bridge]
  Description = Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge
  Driver = /usr/local/easysoft/oob/client/libesoobclient.so.1
  Setup = /usr/local/easysoft/oob/client/libesoobsetup.so
  UsageCount = 1

  -Or-

  [ODBC-ODBC Bridge_r]
  Description = Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge (MT)
  Driver = /usr/local/easysoft/oob/client/libesoobclient_r.so.1
  Setup = /usr/local/easysoft/oob/client/libesoobsetup.so
  UsageCount = 1

  for the thread-safe driver.

  If the entry is missing, look at Post installation steps for non-root installations in the Installing on Unix section of the ODBC-ODBC Bridge manual for instructions on how to add it.
