Install the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server (Linux)

<!– –>

This article explains how to install the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server on Linux. It also includes instructions for the optional command-line tools for SQL Server (bcp and sqlcmd) and the unixODBC development headers.

This article provides commands for installing the ODBC driver from the bash shell. If you want to download the packages directly, see

Offline installation

If you prefer/require the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 to be installed on a computer with no internet connection, you’ll need to resolve package dependencies manually. The Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 has the following direct dependencies:

• Ubuntu: libc6 (>= 2.21), libstdc++6 (>= 4.9), libkrb5-3, libcurl3, openssl, debconf (>= 0.5), unixodbc (>= 2.3.1-1)
• Red Hat: glibc, e2fsprogs, krb5-libs, openssl, unixODBC
• SUSE: glibc, libuuid1, krb5, openssl, unixODBC

Each of these packages in turn has their own dependencies, which may or may not be present on the system. For a general solution to this issue, refer to your distribution’s package manager documentation:

Red Hat

,

Ubuntu

, and

SUSE

It’s also common to manually download all the dependent packages and place them together on the installation computer, then manually install each package in turn, finishing with the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 package.

Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 7

• Download the latest msodbcsql .rpm from

  https://packages.microsoft.com/rhel/7/prod/

  .

• Install dependencies and the driver.

yum install glibc e2fsprogs krb5-libs openssl unixODBC unixODBC-devel #install dependencies sudo rpm -i msodbcsql-13.1.X.X-X.x86_64.rpm #install the Driver 

Ubuntu 16.04 (ODBC 13 offline)

• Download the latest msodbcsql .deb from

  https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/16.04/prod/pool/main/m/msodbcsql/

  .

• Install dependencies and the driver.

sudo apt-get install libc6 libstdc++6 libkrb5-3 libcurl3 openssl debconf unixodbc unixodbc-dev #install dependencies sudo dpkg -i msodbcsql_13.1.X.X-X_amd64.deb #install the Driver 

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (ODBC 13 offline)

• Download the latest msodbcsql .rpm from

  https://packages.microsoft.com/sles/12/prod/

  .

• Install the dependencies and the driver.

zypper install glibc, libuuid1, krb5, openssl, unixODBC unixODBC-devel #install dependencies sudo rpm -i msodbcsql-13.1.X.X-X.x86_64.rpm #install the Driver 

After you’ve completed the package installation, you can verify that the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 can find all its dependencies by running ldd and inspecting its output for missing libraries:

ldd /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-* 

ODBC 11

The following sections explain how to install the Microsoft ODBC driver 11 on Linux. Before you can use the driver, install the unixODBC driver manager. For more information, see

Installing the Driver Manager

.

Installation Steps

To install the driver:

1. Make sure that you have root permission.

2. Change to the directory where the download placed the file msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz. Make sure that you have the *.tar.gz file that matches your version of Linux. To extract the files, execute the following command, tar xvzf msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz.

3. Change to the msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0 directory and there you should see a file called install.sh.

4. To see a list of the available installation options, execute the following command: ./install.sh.

5. Make a backup of odbcinst.ini. The driver installation updates odbcinst.ini. odbcinst.ini contains the list of drivers that are registered with the unixODBC Driver Manager. To discover the location of odbcinst.ini on your computer, execute the following command: odbc_config --odbcinstini.

6. Before you install the driver, execute the following command: ./install.sh verify. The output of ./install.sh verify reports if your computer has the required software to support the ODBC driver on Linux.

7. When you’re ready to install the ODBC driver on Linux, execute the command: ./install.sh install. If you need to specify an install command (bin-dir or lib-dir), specify the command after the install option.

8. After reviewing the license agreement, type YES to continue with the installation.

Installation puts the driver in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/11.0.2270.0. The driver and its support files must be in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/11.0.2270.0.

To verify that the Microsoft ODBC driver on Linux was registered successfully, execute the following command: odbcinst -q -d -n "ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server".

Uninstall

You can uninstall the ODBC driver 11 on Linux by executing the following commands:

1. rm -f /usr/bin/sqlcmd

2. rm -f /usr/bin/bcp

3. rm -rf /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql

4. odbcinst -u -d -n "ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server"

Driver files

The ODBC driver on Linux consists of the following components:

Component	Description
libmsodbcsql-17.X.so.X.X or libmsodbcsql-13.X.so.X.X	The shared object (so) dynamic library file that contains all of the driver’s functionality. This file is installed in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/ for the Driver 17 and in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/ for Driver 13.
msodbcsqlr17.rll or msodbcsqlr13.rll	The accompanying resource file for the driver library. This file is installed in [driver .so directory]../share/resources/en_US/
msodbcsql.h	The header file that contains all of the new definitions needed to use the driver. Note: You can’t reference msodbcsql.h and odbcss.h in the same program. msodbcsql.h is installed in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/include/ for Driver 17 and in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/include/ for Driver 13.
LICENSE.txt	The text file that contains the terms of the End-User License Agreement. This file is placed in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql17/ for Driver 17 and in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql/ for Driver 13.
RELEASE_NOTES	The text file that contains release notes. This file is placed in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql17/ for Driver 17 and in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql/ for Driver 13.

Resource file loading

The driver needs to load the resource file to function. This file is called msodbcsqlr17.rll or msodbcsqlr13.rll depending on the driver version. The location of the .rll file is relative to the location of the driver itself (so or dylib), as noted in the table above. As of version 17.1 the driver will also attempt to load the .rll from the default directory if loading from the relative path fails. The default resource file path on Linux is /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/share/resources/en_US/.

Troubleshooting

If you’re unable to make a connection to SQL Server using the ODBC driver, see the known issues article on

troubleshooting connection problems
