Verifying the Connector Version Number

If you need to verify the version of the Simba Impala ODBC Driver that is installed on your Linux machine, you can query the version number through the command-line interface if the connector was installed using an RPM file. Alternatively, you can search the connector's binary file for version number information.

To verify the connector version number using the command-line interface:

  • Depending on your package manager, at the command prompt, run one of the following commands:

  • yum list | grep ImpalaODBC

  • rpm -qa | grep ImpalaODBC

The command returns information about the Simba Impala ODBC Driver that is installed on your machine, including the version number.

To verify the connector version number using the binary file:

  1. Navigate to the /lib subfolder in your connector installation directory. By default, the path to this directory is: /opt/simba/impala/lib.
  2. Open the connector's .so binary file in a text editor, and search for the text $driver_version_sb$:. The connector's version number is listed after this text.
