Difficulty setting up - Githubissues

cpursley commented 6 years ago

This looks like a very useful project; thanks for making it. But I'm having a difficult time setting it up. I'd love to see a simple reference Elixir application using this library that I could clone. Or as an alternative, expand the README to include how to use mssql_ecto along with a repo and simple schema.

I've set up an example repo that takes the Friends ecto example and have dockerized it. The master branch is working with Postgres.

I've attempted to get a mssql branch going, but no luck so far. I've used the Dockerfile from mssqlex and set up a Docker Compose file.

My confix.ex file looks like this:

config :friends, ecto_repos: [Friends.Repo]

config :friends, Friends.Repo,
  adapter:       MssqlEcto,
  database:      "friends_repo",
  username:      "sa",
  password:      "reallyStrongPwd123",
  hostname:      "mssql_db",
  instance_name: "MSSQLSERVER",
  port:          "1433",
  pool_size:     10,
  odbc_driver:   "{ODBC Driver 13.1 for SQL Server}"

When firing up iex -S mix (via Docker Compose), I get this error:

[error] Mssqlex.Protocol (#PID<0.985.0>) failed to connect: ** (Mssqlex.Error) [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13.1 for SQL Server' : file not found Connection to database failed. | ODBC_CODE 01000 | SQL_SERVER_CODE 0

Perhaps I have my configuration wrong, but I'm also wondering if the Dockerfile is installing the wrong version of msodbcsql. Any thoughts? I'd love to use this project. Thank you.
