Add to odbcinst.ini:

[Firebird]
Description     = InterBase/Firebird ODBC Driver
Driver          = /usr/local/lib64/libOdbcFb.so
Setup           = /usr/local/lib64/libOdbcFb.so
Threading       = 1
FileUsage       = 1
CPTimeout       =
CPReuse         =

Add to odbc.ini:

[employee]
Description     = Firebird
Driver          = Firebird
Dbname          = localhost:/opt/firebird/examples/empbuild/employee.fdb
User            = SYSDBA
Password        = masterkey
Role            =
CharacterSet    =
ReadOnly        = No
