How to access odbc?
 

In linuix how is it possible to access obdc? and how am i able to create new odbc links?

there is an odbc library for php5 (php5-odbc)
not sure if this is what you are looking for but if you are writing php code you can access odbc databases

first: apt-get --fix-grammar
there isn't "linuix" it's Linux or GNU/Linux

about your cuestion, you can use unixODBC

ODBC
 

I'm new to using Linux and do not know how odbc works at all with Linux, i've read a few guides and i've downloaded unixODBC and installed it by running

so far so good, but now what do i do to create/remove and run odbc and is there any way i can have some sort of gui when adding odbc?

This thread is a duplicate of http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...s-odbc-808867/ and therefore is now closed.

Please post your question once, in only one location, so it is easier for people to help you and so the discussion remains in one place.


EDIT: Rather than close the second of the three ODBC threads the OP has created, I have re-opened the thread, but am merging it with the first and the now third thread on the subject.

spider99, since it appears that you are new to ODBC and are looking for a fair amount of assistance just setting it up, i.e. installing and configuring it and just getting it to work and learning your way around it, I hope that you can accomplish this via ONE thread. The three different threads are bound to have overlap. Therefore, while you are still getting things set up and learning your way around it, please keep the discussion in this new thread.

Thank you.

odbcconfig: command not found
 

odbc_config and OBDCconfig are 2 completely different commands. ODBCconfig is the command to launch the GUI interface for adding or removing ODBC links, but when i try the ODBCconfig command is says command not found...does anyone know the package i must download/install to get this to work?

EDIT; i have already installed unixODBC by doing the configure, make and makeinstall cmds but the odbcconfig is still not working.
