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

When using ODBC I was always using Windows and setting up a DSN. However, my only suggestion, and this would be a general suggestion for many different types of problems in Vertica, would be to try the ODBC format for PostgreSQL.

Mostly everything that isn't under-the-hood is based on PostgreSQL, especially SQL syntax and functions. So I would go to the aforementioned http://www.connectionstrings.com and look up however PostgreSQL does it.
