You can get the Java 8 Runtime (JRE) from.
#Mac odbc manager driver
You need not uninstall the Express Edition ODBC driver before installing or upgrading to Java 8 just re-install the ODBC driver after installing Java 8. That is because it depends on loading Java, which is apparently not available. If this information does not get you rolling, please follow up through the Community Forum or a confidential Support Case, as linked above.Īssuming you are indeed working with Express Edition, you are correct that the driver is not loading before the error message is delivered. Configuration and testing must be done with the 32-bit “ iODBC Administrator.app” (found in /Applications/iODBC/). Configuration and testing must be done with the 64-bit “ iODBC Administrator64.app” (found in /Applications/iODBC/).įor use with 32-bit ODBC applications on Mojave, you must use Java 6, and Release 6 of our Express Edition. (Use of Java 7 is not recommended.)įor best results, Java should be installed before the ODBC driver.įor use with 64-bit ODBC applications on Mojave, you must use Java 8, and Release 7 of our Express Edition. Java 8 and later on macOS are 64-bit only while Java 6 and earlier on macOS are 32-bit only. Our Express Edition depends on Java, and therefore inherits the limits of Java. Without seeing the specific error message, I’m guessing you’ve installed our Express (not Lite nor Enterprise) Edition ODBC Driver for Informix. He knows the ODBC connection settings but just need help with perhaps the advanced settings. I have to walk an onsite admin through every step. So, if I have to uninstall and reinstall after installing Java, perhaps some review on that part for now would be appreciated so I can get this implemented properly. It leads us to believe that the driver is not even loaded when we try to test connectivity.

Does 8u202 work or should I use 8u201? I will post the exact error we are getting when the client sends it to me.
#Mac odbc manager for mac
Will someone please verify which exact Java version to install and where to get it? Apple does not have a Java 8 installer for Mac OS, so I would assume to grab it from Oracle website. I am an Apple Consultant (But Microsoft Certified too) helping my client with this, so I don’t have direct access to the servers or Macs involved.
#Mac odbc manager mac os
We are running Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2, are using Informix Database Engine v 11 and are accessing data via Excel - running on Office 365 version of Excel (64 bit) All works fine from Windows based Excel, need to get a few Macs connected. Looks like 7.2 is the largest TDS protocol version currently supported by FreeTDS but actually 7.2 is more than enough to work with typical data types, including varbinary(max).Hello, we are having basic issues getting the Mac version 7 ODBC driver to connect to our single database. Either set it to auto or to a some sensible value: To override this, you have to use the TDS_Version connection string key. It's typically 1433 if you're connecting to a Microsoft® SQL Server™.įreeTDS has an insanely low default TDS protocol version - something like 5.0. You have to use the Port connection string key.Note two caveats applicable to FreeTDS in this sort of setup though: The upside of this approach is that it requires exactly zero configuration of the client machine, other than making sure the FreeTDS ODBC driver is properly installed.

In my opinion, the best way to do is to use a DSN-less configuration - when you encode full information required to connect to a server instance in the ODBC connection string.
