# ODBCDriverManager

DEPRECATED: The `ODBCDriverManager` parameter is deprecated in Media Server version 12.6.0 and later. You no longer need to set this parameter.

This parameter is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. The parameter might be removed in future.

On Linux, Media Server requires the unixODBC Driver Manager to connect to a MySQL or PostgreSQL database server. The `ODBCDriverManager` parameter sets the path to the unixODBC Driver Manager shared object file. For more information about this file, refer to the unixODBC documentation on http://www.unixodbc.org/.

Set this parameter only if both of the following are true:

- Media Server is running on Linux
- the DatabaseType parameter is set to `postgres` or `mysql`

Type: | String
Default: | libodbc.so
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Database
Example: | `ODBCDriverManager=libodbc.so`
See Also: | DatabaseType ODBCConnectionString
