如何在 Azure 集成运行时机器上安装 ODBC 驱动程序？

Question

The following link states that a prerequisite for copying data sources using Azure Data Factory is to install an ODBC driver in the Azure Runtime Environment.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-odbc

However, I can't find anything that documents how to do this. I would expect that many, many people have either done this or need this information. It's a simple exercise on a Windows Server. I have the installer file which I ran on my Windows server and now the driver is present there.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Prerequisites
To use this ODBC connector, we need to:

• Set up a Self-hosted Integration Runtime(not Azure Integration Runtime).See Self-hosted Integration Runtime article for details.
• Install the 64-bit ODBC driver for the data store on the Integration Runtime machine.

At Intergration runtime setup,we can see Azure Integration Runtime is not supproted.

1. After we installed Self-hosted Integration Runtime on the machine and registered with the Authentication key. Then we can new a linked service (ODBC).

2. Enter the Linked service properties:

After that we can connect to the DB Server via ODBC connector.

Yea I had the same problem. So you can't install anything on the default Azure IR. If you want to install something custom on your IR, you can do that on the other two types of IR, self hosted and SSIS.

For self hosted you need to have a VM somewhere, ours are on-prem but if you just need it to use some custom drivers you can just make a VM in azure. There is a self hosted exe app you download and install on that VM. Than you use a token generated via self hosted IR, paste it into self hosted agent app installed on VM, and they are connected. Install whatever driver you want on that VM and should work as far as I know, I haven't had any issues.

For SSIS-IR you need to that driver inside of a SSIS package. To install the driver you connect the SSIS-IR to a container via a token or whatever, and inside that container there is a main.cmd file where you can script to install whatever you want. This can be a pain to get working, here is some code I used to install some drivers.
