As of right now, ODBC support via ODBC.jl is perfunctory at best within DBConnector. It is not clear to me how much to offload to a user of an ODBC connection or if we should automatically install and set-up ODBC connections. Due to the variation of ODBC drivers, it seems like the most logical step is to require users to set up ODBC connections themselves. @quinnj , would you be able to comment on this approach overall?
Additionally, the way that I understand ODBC.jl is that ideally a
_dbconnect
dispatch should support the following functionality:dbms
they are using so as to potentially anticipate inconsistency between ODBC driversODBC
driverDBInterface.Connection
successfullyI feel like there may be other sorts of functionality that will need to be created in the future specific to a particular DBMS instance such that we will create file structures like
src/odbc/odbc_sql_server.jl
or something to that effect. But that may be overcomplicating things.Either way, I am open to ideas, suggestions, and thoughts here.
