This is a basic implementation of ODBC functionality similar to MATLAB'S ODBC functionality.
In Linux, the devel package for unixODBC must be installed.
To use the configureODBCDataSource function, ODBCManageDataSources must be available from the Qt odbc packages
In Windows, the native odbc interface is used.
The toolkit can be installed in Octave 7.2+ using the command:
pkg install -forge odbc
After installation, load the package in order to use it.
pkg load odbc
Note: The package needs to loaded each time Octave is run in order to use the package.
The test suite can be run in octave using the command:
pkg test odbc
Note: The tests assume that there the sqlite3 odbs driver is installed and that a octave_odbc_test DSN can open successfully.
On newer versions of Octave, on loading the package the documentation will be available in the Octave documentation pages.
The Documentation is also installed as a PDF in the installed package folder.
Online documentation is also available at https://gnu-octave.github.io/octave-odbc/
In built function test can be run using pkg test odbc. It requires the SQLite3 ODBC drivers
to be installed, and an octave_odbc_test DSN to be configured.
Bugs can be filed on the issue tracker.
