drill odbc lacks support for debian-based linux? #4

Open cboettig opened 6 years ago

Maybe just worth a note in the drill - ODBC chapter: I was surprised to see that the Linux installation only covers RPM-based platforms. Is it possible to build the odbc link for from source on Debian-based systems? (Didn't see any links to source or directions at https://drill.apache.org/docs/installing-the-driver-on-linux/#system-requirements... )

Anyway, very cool illustration using ODBC + dplyr.

I’ll test https://github.com/JohnOmernik/caraveldrill/blob/master/Dockerfile this week and write up how to do it in the book if it works as advertised On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 01:35 Carl Boettiger notifications@github.com wrote:

that would be awesome.

One other quick install question: The Drill documentation for Mac it requires iODBC,(even though its Linux documentation suggests unixODBC or iODBC) I imagine many users already have unixODBC installed instead, since RStudio's https://db.rstudio.com/best-practices/drivers/ says:

For Unix and MacOS, ODBC drivers should be compiled against unixODBC.

Any idea if the mac version really needs iODBC? (I'd be a bit surprised if it didn't also work with unixODBC, but haven't tested).
