This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.
Minimum macOS Version
The CData ODBC Driver for IBM Cloud SQL Query driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.
Licensing the Driver
In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.
cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for IBM Cloud SQL Query/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>
You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.
Authenticating to IBM Cloud SQL Query (OAuth)
OAuth authentication does not require any interaction with the browser to use the IBM Cloud SQL Query. The driver facilitates this process as described in Connecting to IBM Cloud
Uninstalling the Driver
The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:
cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for IBM Cloud SQL Query" sudo ./uninstall.sh
Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
