ODBC Driver Requirements
ODBC client applications require a 32-bit or a 64-bit TDV driver to connect with TDV. The following ODBC drivers are available:.
Windows ODBC drivers
UNIX ODBC drivers
32-bit with ODBC API 3.x
32-bit and 64-bit for AIX and AIX PowerPC
32-bit with ODBC API 2.5
 
64-bit for Intel/AMD CPU with ODBC 3.5 API
 
To consume TDV resources through Excel:
Publish the resources to a catalog.
Use a bit version of the ODBC driver that matches the bit version of your Excel software. For example, if you use a 64-bit version of Excel, you must use a 64-bit version of the ODBC driver.
