OpenSearch ODBC Driver

OpenSearchODBC is a read-only ODBC driver for Windows and Mac for connecting to OpenSearch SQL support. In Trifork.readme.md is explained in detail the development and deploying for new solutions by manual consequential task or authomatically with a Dockerfile.

ODBC Driver
Build ODBC CI

Specifications

The driver is compatible with ODBC 3.51.

Supported Versions

Operating System Version Supported Bitness
Windows Windows 10, Windows 11 32-bit, 64-bit
MacOS Catalina 10.15.4, Mojave 10.14.6 64-bit

BI Tool Connectors

Download and Installation the Driver

You can use the installers generated as part of the most recent release. They are available for download from Artifacts page on OpenSearch.org at the very bottom and from automated CI workflow.

Windows

  1. Run the .msi installer to install the OpenSearch SQL ODBC Driver.
  2. Test connection using ODBC Data Source Administrator.

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 OpenSearch, ensuring that the correct forms of queries are used.

Mac

iODBC Driver Manager should be installed before installing the OpenSearch SQL ODBC Driver on Mac.

  1. Run the .pkg installer to install the OpenSearch SQL ODBC Driver.
  2. Configure a Driver and DSN entry for the OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch, ensuring that the correct forms of queries are used.

Using the Driver

The driver comes in the form of a library file:

  • Windows: sqlodbc.dll
  • Mac: libsqlodbc.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 OpenSearch 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=OPENSEARCH_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 OpenSearch.
