NAME
    Get-OdbcDriver
    
SYNOPSIS
    Gets installed ODBC drivers.
    
    
SYNTAX
    Get-OdbcDriver [[-Name] ] [-CimSession ] [-Platform {32-bit | 64-bit | All}] [-ThrottleLimit 
    ] []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Get-OdbcDriver cmdlet gets installed Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers from the computer. Specify 
    values for the Name and Platform parameters. If you do not specify a value for Name, the cmdlet gets drivers that 
    have any driver name. If you do not specify any parameters, the cmdlet gets all ODBC drivers installed on the 
    computer.
    
    For more information about ODBC and drivers, see Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) 
    (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710252.aspx) and Drivers 
    (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms715383.aspx) on the Microsoft Developer Network.
    

PARAMETERS
    -Name []
        Specifies the name of a driver. You can use wildcard characters to specify more than one driver. This cmdlet 
        gets one or more ODBC drivers that this parameter specifies. If you do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet 
        gets all ODBC drivers.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    1
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -Platform []
        Specifies the platform architecture. This cmdlet gets ODBC drivers that belong to the architecture that this 
        parameter specifies. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
        
        -- 32-bit
        -- 64-bit
        -- All
        
        The default value is All. If you run this cmdlet in a remote CIM session, this parameter refers to the 
        platform architecture on the remote computer.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -CimSession []
        Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such 
        as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local 
        computer.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       false
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -ThrottleLimit []
        Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this 
        parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShellr calculates an optimum throttle limit 
        for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies 
        only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       false
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see 
        about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

    Example 1: Get all installed ODBC drivers
    
    PS C:\> Get-OdbcDriver
    
    This command gets all installed ODBC drivers. The cmdlet gets both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.
    
    
    Example 2: Get a driver on the 32-bit platform by using a name
    
    PS C:\> Get-OdbcDriver -Name "SQL Server Native Client 10.0" -Platform "32-bit"
    
    This command gets the driver named SQL Server Native Client 10.0 on the 32-bit platform.
    
    
    Example 3: Get ODBC drivers that begin with a specified string on the 64-bit platform
    
    PS C:\> Get-OdbcDriver -Name "SQL Server*" -Platform "64-bit"
    
    This command gets installed ODBC drivers that have a name that starts with SQL Server on the 64-bit platform.
    
    
    Example 4: Get all ODBC drivers
    
    PS C:\> $DriverArray = Get-OdbcDriver
    
    This command gets all installed ODBC drivers, and then stores them in the $DriverArray variable for future use.
