# odbc {#table-functions-odbc}
2019-05-17 07:54:55 +00:00
Returns table that is connected via [ODBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Database_Connectivity).
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
odbc(connection_settings, external_database, external_table)
```
Parameters:
- `connection_settings` — Name of the section with connection settings in the `odbc.ini` file.
- `external_database` — Name of a database in an external DBMS.
- `external_table` — Name of a table in the `external_database`.
To safely implement ODBC connections, ClickHouse uses a separate program `clickhouse-odbc-bridge`. If the ODBC driver is loaded directly from `clickhouse-server`, driver problems can crash the ClickHouse server. ClickHouse automatically starts `clickhouse-odbc-bridge` when it is required. The ODBC bridge program is installed from the same package as the `clickhouse-server`.
The fields with the `NULL` values from the external table are converted into the default values for the base data type. For example, if a remote MySQL table field has the `INT NULL` type it is converted to 0 (the default value for ClickHouse `Int32` data type).
## Usage Example {#usage-example}
**Getting data from the local MySQL installation via ODBC**
This example is checked for Ubuntu Linux 18.04 and MySQL server 5.7.
Ensure that unixODBC and MySQL Connector are installed.
By default (if installed from packages), ClickHouse starts as user `clickhouse`. Thus you need to create and configure this user in the MySQL server.

$ sudo mysql
```
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
mysql> CREATE USER 'clickhouse'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'clickhouse';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'clickhouse'@'clickhouse' WITH GRANT OPTION;
```
Then configure the connection in `/etc/odbc.ini`.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ cat /etc/odbc.ini
[mysqlconn]
DRIVER = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc5w.so
SERVER = 127.0.0.1
PORT = 3306
DATABASE = test
USERNAME = clickhouse
PASSWORD = clickhouse
```
You can check the connection using the `isql` utility from the unixODBC installation.
