Could not find ODBCINSTGetProperties() from

[Stas Fomin]

I has compile driver from commit 860b06f

/etc/odbcinst.ini

[ClickhouseU]
Description     = ODBC for ClickhouseU
Driver          = /usr/local/lib64/libclickhouseodbcw.so
Setup       = /usr/local/lib64/libclickhouseodbcw.so
UsageCount  = 1

I was using unixODBC project to test ODBC connection to CH.
( «unixODBC-gui-qt» fedora package, «ODBCCreateDataSourceQ5» application).

I got

«Could not find ODBCINSTGetProperties()»

«Could not construct a property list for (ClickhouseU). Contact your; SysAdmin, driver vendor, or folks at the unixODBC project for support.»

I am doing something wrong?
Should it work?

This looks like some extension method required by that particular tool only. As of now, clickhouse-odbc doesn't export that method (ODBCINSTGetProperties); hence, this GUI-tool is not supported.
However, you can take a look at how to properly set up all configuration files in CI/CD workflows:

clickhouse-odbc/.github/workflows/Linux.yml

Alternatively, you can submit a PR that implements that particular method.
