All -

Thanks in advance for the help. Im trying to set up just the ODBC driver on a Linux client to connect to my MonetDB instance which is running on another host. I should probably just ask the simple question first, which is "is there any documentation somewhere, or can someone tell me some steps to do this easily?". I wasn't able to find anything instructing on how to do just that.

Ive done the following manually, but if there is a documented way, or a better way, please point me in the right direction.

If I try to test my connection with isql, this is what I see:

isql -v MonetDB

[08001][unixODBC][MonetDB][ODBC Driver 11.19.11]Client unable to establish connection

[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

All of the obvious stuff has been checked - the server is definitely up and running and I can connect to it via JDBC via SQLWorkbench, I can use mclient on both the db host as well as this Ubuntu box Im trying to connect from and mclient connects just fine. I can telnet to the host on port 50000... etc.

Any ideas why I might be getting this error? To set up the ODBC driver, I did this:

1) I copied libMonetODBC.so and libMonetODBCs.so from the libmonet-client-odbc package into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc

2) I added this to /etc/odbcinst.ini

[MonetDB]

Description = MonetDB Driver
Driver = libMonetODBC.so
Setup = libMonetODBCs.so
UsageCount = 2

3) I added this DSN to /etc/odbc.ini

[MonetDB]

Description = Connection for MonetDB
Driver = MonetDB
Database = voc
Servername = 172.17.0.204
User = voc
Password = voc
Port = 50000

Thank you very much!
