does anyone know the format of an odbc connection string for vertica?

Question

I\'m using the following:

DRIVER={Vertica ODBC Driver 4.1};
SERVER=lnxtabdb01.xxxx.com;
PORT=5433;
DATABASE=vertica;
USER=dbadmin;
PASSWORD=vertica;
OPTION=3         


        

Answer 1

You can connect to a Vertica ODBC data source without configuring/specifying a Data Source Name (DSN) using a connection string that includes the following:

• Windows:

  Driver=Vertica ODBC Driver 4.1;Servername=hostname;Port=5433;Database=vertica;UserName=dbadmin;Password=sekret

• Linux/Unix

  Driver=Vertica;Servername=hostname;Port=5433;Database=vertica;UserName=dbadmin;Password=sekret

Replace each italicized value with those appropriate to your environment. (Note: the name=value pairs in the connection string seem to be case-sensitive.)
