Tutorial: Query Microsoft Access Tables using Excel for Mac Part 2 - Connecting to Access By Jim Gordon, co-author of Office 2011 for Mac All-in-One For Dummies. Choosing an ODBC Driver You're going to need an ODBC driver to connect Microsoft Excel with your Microsoft Access database tables. Odbc driver excel mac 2011 free download - Actual ODBC Driver for Access, Devart ODBC Driver for NetSuite, Microsoft Office 97 ODBC Driver Vulnerability Security, and many more programs. With the Actual ODBC Driver for Access, you can use Excel and FileMaker Pro to quickly and easily retrieve data from your Access database. Available for only $39.95 per Mac. Available for only $39.95 per Mac. Connector/ODBC is a standardized database driver for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Unix platforms. Online Documentation: MySQL Connector/ODBC Installation. For an Excel workbook file or other data source accessible in Finder on a local drive or shared drive I suggest using the Actual Access ODBC driver from ActualTechnologies. This driver works with the following data sources: Microsoft Excel workbooks, Microsoft Access.mdb and.accdb, FileMaker Pro and delmited text files.

Before configuring an ODBC driver on a Mac, you will need to download and install a Driver Manager, iODBC. Refer to your System Requirements documentation for iODBC versions compatible with your ODBC Driver:

iODBC can be downloaded from iODBC.org.

For this example, we are using version 3.52.12.

Download mxkozzzz.dmg file to your computer. Double click mxkozzzz.dmg file to mount the disk image

Double click iODBC-SDK.pkg to run the installer. You will be guided through the steps necessary to install this software. Now you can register your ODBC driver.

Permission setup for iODBC on Mac OS

Allow write permissions to enable value update of USER DSN in iODBC Administrator

1. In Finder, from your home {username} folder, go to {username}/Library/ODBC folder and find the file named odbc.ini.
   In this blog, we only need to allow the permission in user's folder because we are only updating value in USER DSN. If you want to use a SYSTEM DSN instead, click 'Go' in the finder menu and choose 'Go to Folder…' or press Shift + Command + G as shortcut. Type in /Library/ODBC and click on 'Go'.
   You can find the file named odbc.ini.
   
2. Right click on odbc.ini, and choose Get Info option.
   
3. In Sharing & Permission section, ensure your user group has the permission to Read & Write. You might need administrator permission to edit this section. Click on the lock icon at bottom right corner to unlock the permission to edit the list.
   

   the list, click the '+' button at bottom left corner to add yourself. Then select your privilege to see the options and set it as Read & Write.

4. Now you are all set with the permission settings.

The ODBC drivers for Linux and macOS support AlwaysOn Availability Groups. For more information about AlwaysOn Availability Groups, see:

You can specify the availability group listener of a given availability group in the connection string. If an ODBC application on Linux or macOS is connected to a database in an availability group that fails over, the original connection is broken and the application must open a new connection to continue work after the failover.

The ODBC drivers on Linux and macOS iterate sequentially through all IP addresses associated with a DNS hostname if you are not connecting to an availability group listener, and multiple IP addresses are associated with the hostname.

If the DNS server's first returned IP address is not connectable, these iterations can be time consuming. When connecting to an availability group listener, the driver attempts to establish connections to all IP addresses in parallel. If a connection attempt succeeds, the driver discards any pending connection attempts.

Note

Because a connection can fail due to an availability group failover, implement connection retry logic; retry a failed connection until it reconnects. Increasing connection timeout and implementing connection retry logic increases the chance of connecting to an availability group.

Connecting With MultiSubnetFailover

Always specify MultiSubnetFailover=Yes when connecting to a SQL Server 2012 (11.x) availability group listener or SQL Server 2012 (11.x) Failover Cluster Instance. MultiSubnetFailover enables faster failover for all Availability Groups and failover cluster instance in SQL Server 2012 (11.x). MultiSubnetFailover also significantly reduces failover time for single and multi-subnet AlwaysOn topologies. During a multisubnet failover, the client attempts connections in parallel. During a subnet failover, the driver aggressively retries the TCP connection.

The MultiSubnetFailover connection property indicates that the application is being deployed in an availability group or Failover Cluster Instance. The driver tries to connect to the database on the primary SQL Server instance by trying to connect to all the IP addresses. When connecting with MultiSubnetFailover=Yes, the client retries TCP connection attempts faster than the operating system's default TCP retransmit intervals. MultiSubnetFailover=Yes enables faster reconnection after failover of either an AlwaysOn Availability Group or an AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instance. MultiSubnetFailover=Yes applies to both single- and multi-subnet Availability Groups and Failover Cluster Instances.

Use MultiSubnetFailover=Yes when connecting to an availability group listener or Failover Cluster Instance. Otherwise, your application's performance can be negatively affected.

Note the following when connecting to a server in an availability group or Failover Cluster Instance:

• Specify MultiSubnetFailover=Yes to improve performance when connecting to a single subnet or multi-subnet Availability Group.

• Specify the availability group listener of the availability group as the server in your connection string.

• You cannot connect to a SQL Server instance configured with more than 64 IP addresses.

• Both SQL Server Authentication or Kerberos Authentication can be used with MultiSubnetFailover=Yes without affecting the behavior of the application.

• You can increase the value of loginTimeout to accommodate for failover time and reduce the application's connection retry attempts.

• Distributed transactions are not supported.

If read-only routing is not in effect, connecting to a secondary replica location in an availability group fails in the following situations:

1. If the secondary replica location is not configured to accept connections.

2. If an application uses ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite Presonus driver for mac. and the secondary replica location is configured for read-only access.

A connection fails if a primary replica is configured to reject read-only workloads and the connection string contains ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly.

Specifying Application Intent

The keyword ApplicationIntent can be specified in your connection string. The assignable values are ReadWrite or ReadOnly. The default is ReadWrite.

When ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly, the client requests a read workload when connecting. The server enforces the intent at connection time, and during a USE database statement.

The ApplicationIntent keyword does not work with legacy read-only databases.

Targets of ReadOnly

When a connection chooses ReadOnly, the connection is assigned to any of the following special configurations that might exist for the database:

• • A database can allow or disallow read workloads on the targeted Always On database. This choice is controlled by using the ALLOW_CONNECTIONS clause of the PRIMARY_ROLE and SECONDARY_ROLE Transact-SQL statements.

If none of those special targets are available, the regular database is read from.

The ApplicationIntent keyword enables read-only routing.

Read-Only Routing

Read-only routing is a feature that can ensure the availability of a read-only replica of a database. To enable read-only routing, all of the following apply:

• You must connect to an Always On Availability Group availability group listener.

• The ApplicationIntent connection string keyword must be set to ReadOnly.

• The Availability Group must be configured by the database administrator to enable read-only routing.

Multiple connections each using read-only routing might not all connect to the same read-only replica. Changes in database synchronization or changes in the server's routing configuration can result in client connections to different read-only replicas. You can ensure that all read-only requests connect to the same read-only replica. Ensure this sameness by not passing an availability group listener to the Server connection string keyword. Instead, specify the name of the read-only instance.

Read-only routing may take longer than connecting to the primary. The longer wait is because read-only routing first connects to the primary, and then looks for the best available readable secondary. Due to these multiple steps, you should increase your login timeout to at least 30 seconds.
