You have various options for installing the SAP DB ODBC driver:

The software for the SAP DB ODBC driver is stored under the <dependent_data_path> up to database version 7.3 and under the <independent_data_path> as of database version 7.4.

The installation program creates the directory /opt/sapdb/interfaces/odbc and stores the SAP DB ODBC driver files there.

You can decide the path under which the tgz package unpacks and the software is installed yourself.

Note

As of version 7.4, the ODBC installation package is included not only in the server package, but also in the Web Tools package. The combination of the software packages corresponds to different installation profiles. You can install the entire software package; that is, including ODBC software, or select only the ODBC installation package from the software package.

You can use the SAP DB ODBC driver under UNIX/Linux both with and without a Driver Manager (Integrating the SAP DB ODBC Driver).
