This article explains how to install the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server on Linux. It also includes instructions for the optional command-line tools for SQL Server (bcp
and sqlcmd
) and the unixODBC development headers.
This article provides commands for installing the ODBC driver from the bash shell. If you want to download the packages directly, see Download ODBC Driver for SQL Server.
Microsoft ODBC 17
The following sections explain how to install the Microsoft ODBC driver 17 from the bash shell for different Linux distributions.
Important
Apr 05, 2006 the 2.6.16 kernel only supports SIL CMD680 and 3112 (Serial ATA) chips, on the silicon image site there are drivers for the sil 3132, but no generic sil 3132 sata chip driver Help answer threads with 0 replies. BASE Driver for PCI-E Sil3132 (32-bit) - version 1.1.9 Download (150KB) - Universal Mac OS X 10.4.X and 10.4.10. BIOS Update firmware for.
If you installed the v17 msodbcsql
package that was briefly available, you should remove it before installing the msodbcsql17
package. This will avoid conflicts. The msodbcsql17
package can be installed side by side with the msodbcsql
v13 package.
Alpine Linux
Note
Driver version 17.5 or higher is required for Alpine support.
Debian
Note
You can substitute setting the environment variable 'ACCEPT_EULA' with setting the debconf variable 'msodbcsql/ACCEPT_EULA' instead: echo msodbcsql17 msodbcsql/ACCEPT_EULA boolean true sudo debconf-set-selections
Red Hat Enterprise Server and Oracle Linux
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
Ubuntu
Note
- Driver version 17.2 or higher is required for Ubuntu 18.04 support.
- Driver version 17.3 or higher is required for Ubuntu 18.10 support.
Note
You can substitute setting the environment variable 'ACCEPT_EULA' with setting the debconf variable 'msodbcsql/ACCEPT_EULA' instead: echo msodbcsql17 msodbcsql/ACCEPT_EULA boolean true sudo debconf-set-selections

Offline installation
If you prefer/require the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 to be installed on a computer with no internet connection, you will need to resolve package dependencies manually. The Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 has the following direct dependencies:
- Ubuntu: libc6 (>= 2.21), libstdc++6 (>= 4.9), libkrb5-3, libcurl3, openssl, debconf (>= 0.5), unixodbc (>= 2.3.1-1)
- Red Hat:
glibc, e2fsprogs, krb5-libs, openssl, unixODBC
- SUSE:
glibc, libuuid1, krb5, openssl, unixODBC
Each of these packages in turn has their own dependencies, which may or may not be present on the system. For a general solution to this issue, refer to your distribution's package manager documentation: Redhat, Ubuntu, and SUSE
It is also common to manually download all the dependent packages and place them together on the installation computer, then manually install each package in turn, finishing with the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 package.
Redhat Linux Enterprise Server 7
- Download the latest
msodbcsql
.rpm
from https://packages.microsoft.com/rhel/7/prod/. - Install dependencies and the driver.
Ubuntu 16.04
- Download the latest
msodbcsql
.deb
from https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/16.04/prod/pool/main/m/msodbcsql/. - Install dependencies and the driver.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
- Download the latest
msodbcsql
.rpm
from https://packages.microsoft.com/sles/12/prod/. - Install the dependencies and the driver.
After you have completed the package installation, you can verify that the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 can find all its dependencies by running ldd and inspecting its output for missing libraries:
ODBC 11
The following sections explain how to install the Microsoft ODBC driver 11 on Linux. Before you can use the driver, install the unixODBC driver manager. For more information, see Installing the Driver Manager.
Installation Steps
Important
These instructions refer to msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz
, which is installation file for Red Hat Linux. If you are installing the Preview for SUSE Linux, the file name is msodbcsql-11.0.2260.0.tar.gz
.
To install the driver:
Make sure that you have root permission.
Change to the directory where the download placed the file
msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz
. Make sure that you have the *.tar.gz file that matches your version of Linux. To extract the files, execute the following command,tar xvzf msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz
.Change to the
msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0
directory and there you should see a file called install.sh.To see a list of the available installation options, execute the following command: ./install.sh.
Make a backup of odbcinst.ini. The driver installation updates odbcinst.ini. odbcinst.ini contains the list of drivers that are registered with the unixODBC Driver Manager. To discover the location of odbcinst.ini on your computer, execute the following command:
odbc_config --odbcinstini
.Before you install the driver, execute the following command:
./install.sh verify
. The output of./install.sh verify
reports if your computer has the required software to support the ODBC driver on Linux.When you are ready to install the ODBC driver on Linux, execute the command:
./install.sh install
. If you need to specify an install command (bin-dir
orlib-dir
), specify the command after the install option.After reviewing the license agreement, type YES to continue with the installation.
Installation puts the driver in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/11.0.2270.0
. The driver and its support files must be in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/11.0.2270.0
.
To verify that the Microsoft ODBC driver on Linux was registered successfully, execute the following command: odbcinst -q -d -n 'ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server'
.
Uninstall
You can uninstall the ODBC driver 11 on Linux by executing the following commands:
rm -f /usr/bin/sqlcmd
rm -f /usr/bin/bcp
Minecraft account generator download.rm -rf /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql
odbcinst -u -d -n 'ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server'
Driver files
The ODBC driver on Linux consists of the following components:
Component | Description |
---|---|
libmsodbcsql-17.X.so.X.X or libmsodbcsql-13.X.so.X.X | The shared object (so ) dynamic library file that contains all of the driver's functionality. This file is installed in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/ for the Driver 17 and in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/ for Driver 13. |
msodbcsqlr17.rll or msodbcsqlr13.rll | The accompanying resource file for the driver library. This file is installed in [driver .so directory]./share/resources/en_US/ |
msodbcsql.h | The header file that contains all of the new definitions needed to use the driver. Note: You cannot reference msodbcsql.h and odbcss.h in the same program. msodbcsql.h is installed in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/include/ for Driver 17 and in /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/include/ for Driver 13. |
LICENSE.txt | The text file that contains the terms of the End-User License Agreement. This file is placed in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql17/ for Driver 17 and in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql/ for Driver 13. |
RELEASE_NOTES | The text file that contains release notes. This file is placed in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql17/ for Driver 17 and in /usr/share/doc/msodbcsql/ for Driver 13. |
Resource file loading
The driver needs to load the resource file in order to function. This file is called msodbcsqlr17.rll
or msodbcsqlr13.rll
depending on the driver version. The location of the .rll
file is relative to the location of the driver itself (so
or dylib
), as noted in the table above. As of version 17.1 the driver will also attempt to load the .rll
from the default directory if loading from the relative path fails. The default resource file path on Linux is /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/share/resources/en_US/
.
Troubleshooting
If you are unable to make a connection to SQL Server using the ODBC driver, see the known issues article on troubleshooting connection problems.
Next steps
After installing the driver, you can try the C++ ODBC example application. For more information about developing ODBC applications, see Developing Applications.
For more information, see the ODBC driver release notes and system requirements.
