Article #25247: Where can I get a Unix ODBC driver for InterBase

Problem:
InterBase does not provide a Unix ODBC driver

Solution:
InterBase does not provide an  ODBC driver for Unix.  Unless a Unix ODBC 
driver is purchased from another vendor, ODBC client applications cannot 
be created on a unix system and connect to an InterBase server.  

Our ODBC driver is exclusive to Windows (NT or 95) and can connect to any 
InterBase server.  So... if you had an ODBC client application that ran on 
win95/NT it could connect to your InterBase 4.x server running on a unix 
machine as well as an InterBase server running on NT.  The ODBC driver 
basically maps ODBC function calls to client InterBase API calls.  The 
InterBase client API has the ability to communicate with an InterBase server 
running on any of our supported platforms, thus the windows ODBC driver 
can communicate with any of the InterBase Servers.
