8. UnixODBC Revisited --- Data Manager (Data Explorer) A SQL GUI

8.1. Installation

Downloaded unixODBC-2.2.7.tar.gz from the UnixODBC Web site, unpacked, then

    ./configure
    make
    make install
worked like a dream yielding the following files of particular interest:
    /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
    /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini

    /usr/local/lib/...

    /usr/local/bin/isql
    /usr/local/bin/ODBCConfig
    /usr/local/bin/DataManager
    /usr/local/bin/DataManagerII

8.2. Configuration

ODBCConfig --- as root for driver; as user for data-source.

DataManagerII: ensure that on the tree to the left,

    User Data Sources
     -> vardyurs
         -> dbo
is highlighted. Clicking on the "plus" next to dbo should yield a bunch of stuff including the UserURSDetails table. On the right are "SQL and Results tabs. In SQL type
  SELECT * FROM UserURSDetails WHERE LastName = 'Hood' AND FirstName = 'Simon'
and click the "run" icon. After a few second the view automatically changes to Results. Select a different View and "run" again. Lovely.
