In this practical workshop demonstration, I show how to obtain and apply the Oracle Instant Client Basic and ODBC add-on on the Linux platform, then configure the unixODBC installation provided with ITX 10 to be able to use it.

Edits are required to the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files (details below) found in the unixODBC/etc folder of your ITX 10 installation.

Oracle adapter connection string:

-DBTYPE oracle -CONNECT orac -USER scott -PASSWORD tiger -T

Example files with bare minimum configuration are shown below.

odbc.ini

[ORAC]
Driver = Oracle 12c ODBC driver
ServerName = orac
