You don't need to know what 'SQL' or 'ODBC' stand for, you just want to get the data you need from the company database and get it into the familiar environs of Word, or Excel, or Filemaker, or even Quark or InDesign. But how?

We get it. Now you will too. We're the missing piece that you've been looking for. Click on the scenario to the right that best represents your needs, or find the type of application you'll use to connect to your data and get started.
The instructions below apply to Excel 2016, 2019 and Microsoft 365 for Mac. These versions of Excel do provide an ODBC driver for connecting to SQL Server Databases. On the Data tab, click New Database Query SQL Server ODBC.Then use the dialog boxes to import the data. Users may also encounter unixODBC, mac:ODBC, and other driver managers. Mac Classic a/k/a Mac OS 9: OpenLink's Mac Classic client installer provides its own driver manager for this platform. Users may also encounter another driver manager created by Visigenic and maintained by Intersolv, Merant, and Data Direct respectively.
We'll help you get it all together.
Devart ODBC Drivers provide high-performance and feature-rich connectivity solutions for ODBC-compliant applications to access the most popular databases directly from Windows, macOS, and Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Drivers fully support standard ODBC API functions and data types, multiple server data types and features.May 20, 2020
Version 5.0 of the Actual ODBC Pack is compatible with the latest Claris FileMaker 19 and MacOS Catalina. The Actual ODBC Pack installer is available from our website. An upgraded license key is required.
Getting ODBC up and running to connect to the MariaDB server at HBS consists of four steps:Installing the ODBC Framework
Macs can support both unixODBC and iODBC. It is the latter framework that is typically used for most Mac OS GUI programs. Download the iODBC installer from http://www.iodbc.org/dataspace/iodbc/wiki/iODBC/Downloads.
To install iODBC:
* After downloading iODBC, double-click on the downloaded .dmg file.
* Double-click on the installer file, iODBC-SDK.pkg, and follow the prompts.
Note: iODBC provides a GUI administrator tool for configuring drivers and DSNs (data source names); however, this tool has some problems and, therefore, should not be used to create or manage DSNs. We will use ODBC Manager instead.Installing the ODBC Manager
ODBC Manager is a GUI tool for configuring drivers and creating/managing DSNs. Although one can create the required files (odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini) by hand, the GUI tool is more convenient.
Please download ODBC Manager from http://www.odbcmanager.net/.
To install the ODBC Manager:
* After downloading ODBC Manager, double-click on the downloaded .dmg file.
* Double-click on the installer file, ODBC Manager.pkg, and follow the prompts.
The installer places the ODBC Manager tool in the /Applications/Utilities directory.Installing the MariaDB ODBC Driver
The final component needed is the ODBC driver itself. This connects the ODBC Manager to the local or remote database, and thus is specific for the target database system you wish to use. Although we are using MariaDB as our relational database server, we prefer to use the MySQL ODBC Connector instead.
Please download the MySQL ODBC Connector from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/
To install the MySQL ODBC Connector:
* After downloading MySQL ODBC Connector DMG Archive, double-click on the downloaded .dmg file.
* Double-click on the installer file, mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.15-macos10.14-x86-64bit.pkg, and follow the prompts.
The installer places the ODBC drivers in the appropriate location on your hard drive.Configuring the ODBC Connection
To configure a DSN on macOS you can use the ODBC Administrator GUI. To use ODBC Administrator first open the ODBC Administrator from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. From the ODBC Administrator dialog, choose the 'User DSN' and click 'Add':Odbc Driver For Mac
Select the 'Connector/ODBC driver' and click 'OK'. You will be presented with the 'Data Source Name (DSN)' dialog. Enter 'MariaDB' as the Data Source Name and enter an optional Description for the DSN:
Click 'Add' to add a new keyword/value pair to the panel. Please configure the following connection parameters:Odbc Download For Mac
server = HOSTNAMEport = 3306database = jharvarduser = jharvardpassword = PASSWORDsslmode = requiredsslca = PATH_TO_SSL_CERTOdbc For Mac Os
noting that you will substitute 'jharvard' and 'PASSWORD' with your MariaDB username and password. For the other parameters such as 'HOSTNAME', please contact us at research@hbs.edu. The PATH_TO_SSL_CERT should be the location where you placed the 'ca-cert.pem' on your local hard drive. If this had been placed in your home folder, the path would be '/Users/(youraccountname)/ca-cert.pem'.Odbc For Mac
