Laravel ODBC Connector
======================

[](#laravel-odbc-connector)

This is a simple ODBC connector for Laravel 4/5.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Add this to the require section in your composer.json file

```
"tck/odbc": "dev-master"

```

In your config/app.php file add the Service Provider to the service providers array like so...

```
'TCK\Odbc\OdbcServiceProvider',

```

Now in your config/database.php you will need to add your connection details, it'll look something like this...

```
'odbc'   => [
	'driver'   => 'odbc',
	'dsn'      => 'odbc:DB_CONNECTION_STRING', //
	'host'     => 'DB_HOST',
	'database' => 'DB_NAME,
	'username' => 'DB_USERNAME',
	'password' => 'DB_PASSWORD',
],

```

#### Custom Grammar

[](#custom-grammar)

To use SQL Server or other database engines, set the grammar in the config:

```
'odbc'   => [
	...
	'grammar' => [
		'query' => Illuminate\Database\Query\Grammars\SqlServerGrammar::class,
		'schema' => Illuminate\Database\Schema\Grammars\SqlServerGrammar::class,
	],
],

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Now in your app you can do something like...

```
$data = DB::connection('odbc')->get('tableName')->all();

```

Alternatively, in an Eloquent model you could something like this

```
class Users extends Eloquent {

	protected $connection = 'odbc';
}

```

### DB\_CONNECTION\_STRING - Something to note

[](#db_connection_string---something-to-note)

Dependant upon your database configuration, I personally had some difficulty in working out what the DB\_CONNECTION\_STRING needed to be.

This was some trial and error (with a hell of a lot of Googling!) but you could either use a path, something like...

```
'dsn'      => 'odbc:\\\\path\to\my\database',

```

Or a connection name

```
'dsn'      => 'odbc:\\\\my-connection-name',

```

Hopefully, this will help you!
