I have trouble getting pyodbc
work. I have unixodbc
, unixodbc-dev
, odbc-postgresql
, pyodbc
packages installed on my Linux Mint 14.
I am losing hope to find solution on my own, any help appreciated. See details below:
Running:
>>> import pyodbc
>>> conn = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={PostgreSQL};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=test;USER=openerp;OPTION=3;")
Gives me:
>>> pyodbc.Error: ('IM002', '[IM002] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
# odbcinst -j gives:
unixODBC 2.2.14
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
FILE DATA SOURCES..: /etc/ODBCDataSources
USER DATA SOURCES..: /home/atman/.odbc.ini
SQLULEN Size.......: 4
SQLLEN Size........: 4
SQLSETPOSIROW Size.: 2
Which makes me think there is a unixodbc
configuration problem.
Here are my unixodbc
config file contents:
File /etc/odbcinst.ini
:
[PostgreSQL ANSI]
Description = PostgreSQL ODBC driver (ANSI version)
Driver = psqlodbca.so
Setup = libodbcpsqlS.so

I believe the answer to your problem is that in your ~/.odbc.ini file you are saying to use driver PostgreSQL
- but you have not defined that driver in your /etc/odbcinst.ini file. Try changing PostgreSQL
to PostgreSQL ANSI
or PostgreSQL Unicode
(both of which are defined in /etc/odbcinst.ini).
