Feature: Adding {DBI} & {dbplyr} backend for SQL #47

Open zacdav-db opened 2 months ago

zacdav-db commented 2 months ago

Currently {brickster} has two ways to query a SQL warehouse:

  1. databricks-sql-connector via {reticulate}
  2. SQL execution API

A {DBI} and {dbplyr} backend could be created for each, this would enable querying SQL warehouses without ODBC driver installation.

I've done a small proof of concept and this works extremely well, few bits to iron out. Unsure if worth splitting to another package 🤔.
