UnixODBC CLI Install and Configuration
For those of you that may not know what unixodbc does, "ODBC is an open specification for providing application developers with a predictable API with which to access Data Sources. Data Sources include SQL Servers and any Data Source with an ODBC Driver." They include a text file driver as an example of a non-SQL source. Two examples are Asterisk and OpenOffice.org.
Unixodbc allows cross-platform use of databases with many bridges available in many popular programming languages.
Installing and configuring isn't necessarily as simple as "apt-get install unixodbc". This HOWTO was written on Etch and may vary if you are using a different version.
