2. Project Summary
    2.1. Project Description:
         Provide unixODBC, the prominent OSS ODBC driver manager
         for OpenSolaris.


4. Technical Description:
     4.1. Details:
         unixODBC is an open source ODBC driver manager.  The driver
         manager enables use of ODBC database drivers for applications.

         This project will build and provide the driver manager itself.
         The unixODBC team also provides a GUI tool for configuration,
         but this tool will not be included at this time because of
         dependencies and potential licensing issues.

         User configuration is via configuration files.

           http://www.unixodbc.org/

    The community has discussed whether the tools should be
    put in a /usr/bin/unixodbc directory, and the header
    files in a /usr/include/odbc directory to reduce clutter.
    There is, in particular, a potential issue with the
    'isql' tool since this is a fairly generic name used by
    other database vendors.

    It should be noted that most, if not all, Linux distributions
    have the tools and support files located as in the proposal
    above.

    We request that ARC should consider whether installation
    /usr/bin/unixodbc and/or /usr/include/odbc will be better for
    the OpenSolaris product(s) as a whole.
