    <p>I want to develop in Python from my local machine running Mac OS X and connect to a Vertica database in my network. </p> <p>I downloaded the Vertica Mac Driver and set it up according to the instructions. When testing with iODBC, I get:</p> <pre><code>$ iodbctest iODBC Demonstration program This program shows an interactive SQL processor Driver Manager: 03.52.0607.1008 Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): ? DSN | Driver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VerticaDSN | Vertica Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): VerticaDSN 1: SQLDriverConnect = [DSI] The error message InvalidConnStr could not be found in the en-US locale. Check that /en-US/ODBCMessages.xml exists. (-1) SQLSTATE=HY000 </code></pre> <p>When testing with unixODBC, I get a different error:</p> <pre><code> $ isql -v VerticaDSN user pw [S1000][unixODBC][DSI] The error message NoSQLGetPrivateProfileString could not be found in the en-US locale. Check that /en-US/ODBCMessages.xml exists. [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect </code></pre> <p>The latter should be caused by a missing vertica.ini, but I did add the vertica.ini and exported its directory to the VERTICAINI environment variable. Here's how my vertica.ini looks like:</p> <pre><code>[Driver] DriverManagerEncoding=UTF-32 ODBCInstLib=/usr/lib/libiodbc.2.dylib ErrorMessagesPath=/Users/rmedri/Library/ODBC/vertica/lib64 LogLevel=4 LogPath=/Users/rmedri </code></pre> <p>and here's my odbc.ini (in ~/Library/ODBC/):</p> <pre><code>[ODBC Data Sources] VerticaDSN = Vertica [VerticaDSN] Driver = /Users/rmedri/Library/ODBC/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.dylib Database = vbit Servername = vertica-prod.&lt;xxxx&gt;.&lt;xxxx&gt;.com UID = user PWD = pw Port = 5433 </code></pre> <p>I've spent several hours on this and I am at a loss. Any guidance is appreciated, including alternative ways to connect to Vertica from Python running on Mac OS X.</p>

    2. COI have and like I say in my question, I do have a vertica.ini file following the specifications given in Vertica's programmer guide. Still no success though.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
