+-------------------------------------------------------------+
INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------------------------
In this document we explain how to install MySQL Connector/ODBC.
This document does not describe platform specific details - see
INSTALL.<platform> for details on your specific platform.
REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------------------------------------
Platforms
Binary Distributions
* MS Windows 2000 or newer
* Solaris 10 or newer
* OSX 10.5 or newer
* Linux (various flavors)
* HPUX 11.31 or newer
* Free BSD 7 or newer
Source Distributions
Connector/ODBC is designed to be portable and can be
built for a wide variety of platforms without any
changes or, in some cases, with minor changes.
ODBC Systems
Strictly speaking, the driver can be used without any ODBC system
but in practice this is seldom done. Depending upon your
system - one of the following is needed and is usually
available with your operating system (and is often installed
by default).
* unixODBC
* Apple iODBC
* iODBC
* Microsoft ODBC
DISTRIBUTIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------
You will need either a source or binary distribution which is
compatible with your platform (machine and operating system).
Various types of distributions are available. Some distribution
types are not supported on some platforms. See downloads at
www.mysql.com.
Binary With Installer
This is the recommended distribution type.
Some platforms have package systems which manage the
install and uninstall of software packages.
MS Windows - msi or setup.exe
Solaris - pkg
OSX - pkg
Linux - rpm
See INSTALL.<platform> for details on how to install
and uninstall a package and any special considerations
for doing so.
Binary Without Installer
Some platforms do not have a commonly accepted package
system or for some other reason we have elected not to
support it. In this case we provide a binary without
any installer. This may also be useful for those
wishing more control over the install process.
This is either provided as;
MS Windows - zip
Linux - source rpm, tar-ball
others - tar-ball
Source With Installer
We provide a source distribution with installer on one
platform, linux, as this is common practice on rpm based
linux platforms.
Source Without Installer
We provide source distributions which can be built on
a variety of platforms. Source distributions are
derived from the source repository but is cleaned up
to make using it easier. This type of distributions is
as;
MS Windows - zip
others - tar-ball
Source Repository
The bazaar source repository is keept on Launchpad and can be
accessed using name lp:myodbc. For example:
$ bzr branch lp:myodbc myodbc-source-tree
INSTALLING
---------------------------------------------------------------
Connector/ODBC is installed by doing the following steps;
1. optionally copy the driver to a desired location in the filesystem
2. register the driver with system's ODBC (possibly with
provided myodbc-installer utility)
3. define data sources which use the driver (possibly with
provided myodbc-installer utility)
Binary With Installer
Both install steps are done for you when you use a binary
distribution which includes an installer. See
INSTALL.<platform> for details.
Binary Without Installer
In this case one must first extract the files to a desired
location and then manually register the driver with the
ODBC system. The provided myodbc-installer utility can be
used for that purpose (run it without options to see usage
information). Once driver is registered, data sources which
use that driver can be defined either using ODBC tools
provided with the operating system or again with
myodbc-installer.
In some cases there may be install/uninstall scripts to
aid in this process. See INSTALL.<platform> for details.
Source
In this case one must first build the driver and programs
and then install them. The install is the same as
'Binary Without Installer' except there is no need to
extract files as they will be in place after a build.
