      Description: Provides ODBC 3 connectivity for Unix

      Long Description: The unixODBC project provides UNIX applications with the same ODBC 3.51 API and facilities available under Windows. It provides a Driver Manager that supports the full ODBC API and performs the ODBC 3 to ODBC 2 translations with UNICODE to ANSI conversion. It also includes a set of graphical utilities that allow users to specify connections to DBMSes to be used by applications, a collection of ODBC drivers including a simple text based driver, an NNTP driver, a Postgres driver and others, and a selection of templates and libraries that to aid in the construction of ODBC drivers. It works with MySQL, Postgres, StarOffice, Applixware, iHTML, PHP, Perl DBD::ODBC, Paradox 9, and many other applications and drivers. Connection pooling is also provided to increase performance with applications such as PHP.

    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

    Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:


      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/unixodbc
      % sudo port install unixodbc
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching unixodbc
      ---> Verifying checksum for unixodbc
      ---> Extracting unixodbc
      ---> Configuring unixodbc
      ---> Building unixodbc with target all
      ---> Staging unixodbc into destroot
      ---> Installing unixodbc
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using unixodbc with these commands:
      %  man unixodbc
      % apropos unixodbc
      % which unixodbc
      % locate unixodbc
