Downloading the ODBC DriverΒΆ

Snowflake provides an installer for the ODBC driver.

Note

If you plan to use yum to download and install the ODBC driver for Linux, skip ahead to Using yum to download and install the driver.

To download the installer:

  1. Review the license agreement.

  2. If you are already using the ODBC driver and need to download an updated version, check the version that you are using, and review the changes between your version and the updated version in the ODBC Driver release notes

    To find the version of the driver that you are using, call the CURRENT_CLIENT SQL function from an application using the driver. You can also verify the driver version by examining queries executed by the driver in the QUERY_HISTORY view.

  3. Go to the ODBC Download page, and download the installer.

    Note

    The Linux installation package is provided in three variations:

    • TGZ (TAR file compressed using .GZIP)

    • RPM

    • DEB

    The TGZ package requires some manual configuration tasks. The RPM and DEB packages include an automated installer and support validation using the public GPG key provided by Snowflake.
