If you wish to authenticate using OAuth, you will need to add an additional connection property to ensure that the OAuth flow can execute properly: Other = CheckPromptMode=FalseĪdditionally, in the ODBC Data Sources section, the DSN must be set to a driver defined in the odbcinst.ini file. Place your connection properties at the beginning of odbc.ini: In addition to the connection properties required to connect to SQL, the Driver property specifies either a driver definition in the odbcinst.ini file or the path to the driver library. This will limit the number of rows returned, which is especially helpful for improving performance when designing reports and visualizations. When you configure the DSN, you may also want to set the Max Rows connection property. Database: The name of the database, as seen in the Azure portal on the SQL databases (or SQL warehouses) page.User: The name of the user authenticating to Azure.You can find this by logging into the Azure portal and navigating to "SQL databases" (or "SQL data warehouses") -> "Select your database" -> "Overview" -> "Server name." You can authenticate to Azure SQL Server or Azure Data Warehouse by setting the following connection properties: Database: The name of the SQL Server database.Ĭonnecting to Azure SQL Server and Azure Data Warehouse.Password: The password associated with the authenticating user.User: The username provided for authentication with SQL Server.Server: The name of the server running SQL Server.Sudo nano /Library/ODBC/odbc.ini Connecting to Microsoft SQL ServerĬonnect to Microsoft SQL Server using the following properties: Modifying iODBC's system-wide settings requires elevated permissions to do so, you can use following to open a text editor from the terminal: You can find the correct odbc.ini in the following paths: System data sources can be accessed by all users. User data sources can only be accessed by the user account whose home folder the odbc.ini is located in. You can define ODBC data sources in sections in the odbc.ini file. To activate a trial license, omit the key input.Ĭd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for SQL/bin" In a terminal run the following commands to license the driver. This makes the driver easy to use with these tools. The CData ODBC Driver for SQL Server is preconfigured for the iODBC driver manager, as are many other products like Microsoft Excel. Installing the CData ODBC Drivers on Mac OS X
This article walks through creating a DSN for SQL Server data in iODBC and accessing SQL Server data in Microsoft Excel, all on a machine running Mac OS X.
Microsoft Excel features calculations, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language that allows users to work with data in many of the ways that suit their needs, whether on a Windows machine or a Macintosh machine.
