-# Use Vantage with ODBC on Ubuntu
+# Use Teradata with ODBC on Ubuntu
## Overview
-This how-to demonstrates how to use the ODBC driver with Teradata Vantage on Ubuntu.
+This how-to demonstrates how to use the ODBC driver with Teradata on Ubuntu.
## Prerequisites
-* Access to a Teradata Vantage instance.
+* Access to a Teradata instance.
-* Root access to a Ubuntu machine.
+* Root access to an Ubuntu machine. If you don't have a local Ubuntu machine, you can use an AWS EC2 instance as described in the steps below.
+* An AWS account (if using EC2).
## Installation
-* Install dependencies:
+### Option 1: Launch an Ubuntu instance on AWS EC2
+
+If you don't have a local Ubuntu machine, follow these steps to launch one on AWS EC2:
+
+1. Go to the [AWS EC2 Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/) and click **Launch Instance**.
+2. Enter a name for your instance.
+3. Under **Application and OS Images**, select **Ubuntu** and choose **Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS** as the AMI.
+4. Under **Instance type**, select `t2.micro` or `t3.micro`.
+5. Under **Key pair**, click **Create new key pair**. Name it, keep the defaults (RSA, .pem), and click **Create key pair**. The `.pem` file will download automatically — save it to `~/.ssh/`.
+6. Under **Network settings**, ensure **Allow SSH traffic** is checked and set the source to **My IP**.
+7. Click **Launch Instance**.
+8. Once the instance is running, copy the **Public IPv4 address** from the instance details page.
+9. Set permissions on your key file and connect via SSH:
+
+```bash
+chmod 400 ~/.ssh/
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/ ubuntu@
+```
+
+10. Once connected, get root access:
+
+```bash
+sudo su
+```
+
+### Install dependencies
```bash
-apt update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y wget unixodbc unixodbc-dev iodbc python3-pip
+apt update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y wget unixodbc unixodbc-dev python3-pip alien
```
-* Install Teradata ODBC driver for Ubuntu:
+### Install Teradata ODBC driver
+
+Download the Teradata ODBC driver for Linux from the [Teradata Downloads page](https://downloads.teradata.com/download/connectivity/odbc-driver/linux). A Teradata account is required to download the driver. Download the file `tdodbc2000__linux_x8664.20.00.00.66-1.tar.gz` to your local machine.
+
+If you are using an AWS EC2 instance, open a new terminal window on your local machine and use `scp` to transfer the file:
+
```bash
-wget https://downloads.teradata.com/download/cdn/connectivity/odbc/17.10.x.x/tdodbc1710__ubuntu_x8664.17.10.00.14-1.tar.gz \
- && tar -xzf tdodbc1710__ubuntu_x8664.17.10.00.14-1.tar.gz \
- && dpkg -i tdodbc1710/tdodbc1710-17.10.00.14-1.x86_64.deb
+scp -i ~/.ssh/ ~/Downloads/tdodbc2000__linux_x8664.20.00.00.66-1.tar.gz ubuntu@:/home/ubuntu/
```
-* Configure ODBC, by creating file `/etc/odbcinst.ini` with the following content:
+Back in your SSH session, extract and convert the driver package to a Debian-compatible format, then install it:
+
```bash
+tar -xzf tdodbc2000__linux_x8664.20.00.00.66-1.tar.gz \
+ && alien -d tdodbc2000/tdodbc2000-20.00.00.66-1.x86_64.rpm \
+ && dpkg -i tdodbc2000_20.00.00.66-2_amd64.deb
+```
+
+### Configure ODBC
+
+Create the file `/etc/odbcinst.ini` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+cat > /etc/odbcinst.ini << 'EOF'

## Use ODBC
-We will validate the installation with a sample Python application. Create `test.py` file with the following content.
-Replace `DBCName=192.168.86.33;UID=dbc;PWD=dbc` with the IP address of your Teradata Vantage instance, username and password:
+Install `pyodbc`:
+
+```bash
+pip3 install pyodbc --break-system-packages
+```
+
+Create a `test.py` file with the following content. Replace `DBCName`, `UID` and `PWD` with your Teradata instance hostname, username and password:
```python
import pyodbc
print(pyodbc.drivers())
-cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={Teradata Database ODBC Driver 17.10};DBCName=192.168.86.33;UID=dbc;PWD=dbc;')
+cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={Teradata Database ODBC Driver 20.00};DBCName=;UID=;PWD=;')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT CURRENT_DATE")
for row in cursor.fetchall():
print(row)

```

## Summary
-Apple has introduced ARM-based processors in Apple MAC M1/M2 machines. Intel x64-based applications won't work by default on ARM-based processors. Teradata Studio or Teradata Studio Express also doesn't work by default as the current Studio macOS build is an intel x64-based application. This how-to demonstrates how to install Intel x64-based JDK and Teradata Studio or Teradata Studio Express on Apple Mac M1/M2.
