vi /etc/odbcinst.ini

#Add a section for Vertica Analytics and save
[VerVertica Analyticstica]
Description = Vertica Analytics ODBC Driver
Driver = /opt/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.so

#Open odbc.ini
vi /etc/odbc.ini

#Add your DSN in ODBC Data Sources section, for example:
[ODBC Data Sources]
VMart = "VMart database on Vertica Analytics"

#Add a DSN definition section below, for example:
[VMart]
Description = Vmart Database
Driver = Vertica Analytics
Database = VMart
Servername = # The name of the server where Vertica Analytics is installed. Use localhost if Vertica Analytics is installed on the same machine.
UID = dbadmin
PWD = <password>
