Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in the 'Install Vertica ODBC driver for the version 2.0' section, where only Windows installation steps and screenshots are provided. There are no instructions or examples for installing the ODBC driver on Linux or macOS, despite Vertica and self-hosted integration runtimes being commonly deployed on Linux servers. The documentation also references Windows-specific tools (e.g., ODBC Data Source Administrator, Start menu) without mentioning Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions and screenshots for installing the Vertica ODBC driver on Linux (and optionally macOS), including command-line steps (e.g., using rpm, deb, or tar.gz packages).
- Mention and provide examples for configuring ODBC on Linux, such as editing odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files.
- Reference Linux tools and locations (e.g., using isql for testing, typical driver install paths) alongside Windows tools.
- Clearly indicate in each section whether the instructions apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and provide tabs or callouts for OS-specific steps.
- Ensure all critical setup and troubleshooting steps are covered for both Windows and Linux environments to support cross-platform parity.
