Using ping utility to test connection [CR 463766]

In the Chapter 3 section “Ping utility (dbping)”, the following information should be appended to the description of the Load specified library (-l) option.

You can use dbping to verify connectivity with the ODBC Driver Manager on UNIX systems. Unlike dbisql or other tools, dbping allows you to explicitly test the components as you would with a third-party tool. For example:

dbping -m -c "dsn=dsnname" -l /full/path/to/libodbc.so

where libodbc.so is the third-party tool's ODBC driver.
