To configure a DSN on macOS, you can either use the command-line utility (myodbc-installer), edit the
odbc.ini
file within the Library/ODBC
directory of the user, or use the ODBC Administrator GUI. Mac Operating System History
The ODBC Administrator is included in OS X v10.5 and earlier; users of later versions of OS X and macOS need to download and install it manually.
To create a DSN using the myodbc-installer utility, you only need to specify the DSN type and the DSN connection string. For example:
To use ODBC Administrator:

Devart ODBC Drivers provide high-performance and feature-rich connectivity solutions for ODBC-compliant applications to access the most popular databases directly from Windows, macOS, and Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Drivers fully support standard ODBC API functions and data types, multiple server data types and features. Applications that require or can use ODBC (and therefore the Connector/ODBC driver) include ColdFusion, Filemaker Pro, 4th Dimension and many other applications. On macOS, the ODBC Administrator, based on the iODBC manager, provides easy administration of ODBC drivers and configuration, allowing the updates of the underlying iODBC configuration.

- For correct operation of ODBC Administrator, ensure that the
/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini
file used to set up ODBC connectivity and DSNs are writable by theadmin
group. If this file is not writable by this group, then the ODBC Administrator may fail, or may appear to work but not generate the correct entry. - There are known issues with the macOS ODBC Administrator and Connector/ODBC that may prevent you from creating a DSN using this method. In that case, use the command line or edit the
odbc.ini
file directly. Existing DSNs or those that you created using the myodbc-installer tool can still be checked and edited using ODBC Administrator.
- Open the ODBC Administrator from the
Utilities
folder in theApplications
folder.Figure 5.6ODBC Administrator
