Mac OS X comes with iODBC, installed in /usr/bin.

#Mac odbc manager library for mac os x

Starting with Mac OS X version 10.6 (Snow Leopard), ODBC Administrator is no longer shipped with the operating system and must be downloaded and installed separately: ODBC Administrator Tool for Mac OS X v1.0, or alternatively we can use ODBC Manager.

#Mac odbc manager library drivers

I've been searching for a solution to this for months.A brief survey of ODBC and database connectivity on Mac OS X, since I wanted to test ODBC drivers on Stata (see How do I set up an ODBC Data Source Name for Stata on Mac or Linux/Unix?). Surely I can't be the only developer trying to build apps on his Mac that simply connect to a SQL Anywhere database. I've done the equivalent on a PC hundreds of times. But I can't find ANY documentation on the web to help me. This document clearly says that ODBC Components are supported on Apple OS X. These errors lead me to speculate that either I can't do this because my OS isn't 13 years old, or older (per the prerequisites), or that I needed to do something in the ODBC.INI file or the ODBCINST.INI file. Referenced from: /Applications/SQLAnywhere17/System/lib64/dbodbc17_r.bundle

Yay! But when I test, I get two errors: 1st) " Specified driver could not be loaded", and 2nd) " Library not loaded: libdbtasks17_r.dylib It seems to work almost identically to the first one, except it has a helpful TEST function. So, I downloaded a different ODBC Management tool for Mac called iODBC.Sadly, there's no testing function in the ODBC Administrator to test a DSN. In the end, I created parameters for the all the variables passed in the connection string (UserID, Password, Database File). Again, the same prerequisite appears " Your Mac OS X system must not be version 10.6 or later." (see rant above on this). depending on what version of help you're looking at, the examples use different parameters). The documentation on this is a little lacking from SAP (specifically which parameters are "required". But with the driver "seemingly" added, I then tried adding a DSN (tested both User and System).You must use either the ODBCINI or ODBC_INI environment variable to specify the non-standard location and file name of the ODBC initialization file (~/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini)." You can edit the information with a text editor. There is an odbcinst.ini file for driver information and an odbc.ini file for data source information.

" The ODBC configuration files are located in /Library/ODBC within your home directory. However the last two sentences left me wondering if I was supposed to do anything else. The ODBC Administrator allows me to add the SQL Anywhere 17 driver. That's Snow Leopard, man! That's 13 years old! Is this a typo? Is SAP telling me that if I want to configure an ODBC connection, I need to be using an OS that's 13 years old or older? Surely, no. Both of these documents cite the following prerequisite: " Your Mac OS X system must not be version 10.6 or later." WHAT?!?! This is where I run into my first problem.
