The Ingres instance ID, rather than the Ingres version, is now used to identify Ingres ODBC drivers. The Ingres ODBC driver is installed with the driver names "Ingres" and "Ingres xx," where "xx" is the value of II_INSTALLATION.

This naming convention allows any number of Ingres instances to include ODBC driver names specific to the instance. If you upgrade to a new release of Ingres in the same installation path, the ODBC driver names are unaffected and require no modifications to ODBC configuration or ODBC connection strings.

For more information, see ODBC Driver Names in the chapter "Understanding ODBC Connectivity" in the Connectivity Guide.
