ODBC on AIX box

[cwsstins]

Is there a way to set up an ODBC data source on a UNIX box?

I'm working with an app that runs through a ODBC DSN. There is a specific function (database restore) that takes about 6 hours to complete in the GUI on a XP system.

There is a command line command to perform this function and I'd like to take advantage of the processing power of my dev AIX box to run the command line restore there. I will not be needing to access the app's GUI through the UNIX box, just the command line restore function. But the parameters include a datasource, so I need to have a DSN on the system where it's running.

Hi,
Assuming that the ODBC DSN would need to connect to a Windows box, there are ODBC drivers out there that can do that, but an additional layer may be needed on the Windows box to translate the stream from the AIX box.
