Open Distro for Elasticsearch ODBC Driver

ElasticsearchODBC is a read-only ODBC driver for Windows and Mac for connecting to Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL support.

Specifications

The driver is compatible with ODBC 3.51.

Supported Versions

Operating System Version Supported Bitness
Windows Windows 10 32-bit, 64-bit
MacOS Catalina 10.15.4, Mojave 10.14.6 64-bit

Installing the Driver

You can use the installers generated as part of the most recent release.

Windows

  1. Run the .msi installer to install the Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL ODBC Driver.

To use the driver with Tableau:

  1. Copy the .tdc file from <driver-install-dir>/resources to <windows-user-dir>/Documents/My Tableau Repository/Datasources.

This will customize the connection from Tableau to Open Distro for Elasticsearch, ensuring that the correct forms of queries are used.

Mac

iODBC Driver Manager should be installed before installing the Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL ODBC Driver on Mac.

  1. Run the .pkg installer to install the Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL ODBC Driver.
  2. Configure a Driver and DSN entry for the Open Distro for Elasticsearch SQL ODBC Driver, following the instructions here.

To use the driver with Tableau:

  1. Copy the .tdc file from <driver-install-dir>/resources to <mac-user-dir>/Documents/My Tableau Repository/Datasources.

This will customize the connection from Tableau to Open Distro for Elasticsearch, ensuring that the correct forms of queries are used.

Using the Driver

The driver comes in the form of a library file:

  • Windows: odfesqlodbc.dll
  • Mac: libodfesqlodbc.dylib

If using with ODBC compatible BI tools, refer to the tool documentation on configuring a new ODBC driver. In most cases, you will need to make the tool aware of the location of the driver library file and then use it to setup Open Distro for Elasticsearch database connections.

Connection Strings and Configuring the Driver

A list of options available for configuring driver behaviour is available here.

To setup a connection, the driver uses an ODBC connection string. Connection strings are semicolon-delimited strings specifying the set of options to use for a connection. Typically, a connection string will either:

  1. specify a Data Source Name containing a pre-configured set of options (DSN=xxx;User=xxx;Password=xxx;)
  2. or configure options explicitly using the string (Host=xxx;Port=xxx;LogLevel=ES_DEBUG;...)

Building from source

Building

Please refer to the build instructions for detailed build instructions on your platform. If your PC is already setup to build the library, you can simply invoke cmake using

cmake ./src

From the projects root directory, then build the project using Visual Studio (Windows) or make (Mac).

  • Visual Studio: Open ./global_make_list.sln
  • Make: Run make from the build root.

Testing

NOTE: Some tests in ITODBCConnection will fail if a test DSN (Data Source Name) is not configured on your system. Refer to "Running Tests" in the build instructions for more information on configuring this.

Documentation

Please refer to the documentation for detailed information on installing and configuring Open Distro for Elasticsearch.
