Python only mysql.connector replacement with compatible api for mariaDB - mariadb

I'm trying out this command, but it fails miserably:
python: MariaDB Connector/Python requires MariaDB Connector/C >= 3.1.3, found version 3.0.3 on ubuntu 18.04
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
MariaDB Connector/Python requires MariaDB Connector/C >= 3.1.3, found version 3.0.3
is there a non c version of mysql.connector compatible with the latest mariadb?

the problem was I was connecting to one db with a user which was not authorized to do the thing on the other db. the error message did not include the DB name.
double check the db name is correct on the query itself.

NebulaGraph Studio: failed to open connection after upgraded to v3.1.0

NebulaGraph Studio Version: 3.3.0
NebulaGraph Database Version: 3.1.0
Failed to open connection, error: incompatible version between client and server: Graph client version(2.6.0) is not accepted, current graph client white list: 3.0.03.1.0…
Looks like your NebulaGraph Studio version is not compatible with the NebulaGraph database version.
Upgrade your NebulaGraph Studio to solve this issue. For the valid version, see NebulaGraph Studio docs.

How do I install the ODBC driver for Snowflake successfully on an M1 Apple Silicon Mac?

I'm having issues getting the ODBC driver for Snowflake to work on an M1 Apple Silicon Mac running Big Sur.
Successfully following the instructions on Snowflake's website gets me to the point where testing the driver from the command line (using iodbctest) using the DSN results in the following error:
1: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]dlopen(/opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/libSnowflake.dylib, 6): no suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/libSnowflake.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
/opt/snowfl (0) SQLSTATE=00000
2: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM003
My Snowflake driver is installed to /opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc, so that is correct -- I'm suspicious that this is specifically an M1 problem. I'm using the 2.24.1 version of the driver available from the download mirror here, and the path to the driver in /etc/odbcinst.ini is /opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/libSnowflake.dylib (which exists and seems, from all my research, that it should be right).
When I run a connection via DBI in R, I get a completely different error:
Error: nanodbc/nanodbc.cpp:1021: 00000:
[Snowflake][ODBC] (11560) Unable to locate SQLGetPrivateProfileString function.
In other StackOverflow posts, people have referenced the above error meaning that there is a missing library of some kind (IODBC isn't configured correctly?), but I've tried quite a few things to no avail. Any guidance would be great.
Tinkered with this a bit more and realized it's an artifact of the installation pathways for the .dmgs & the preset paths in simba.snowflake.ini.
You need to point the Snowflake driver towards the iODBC dylib (as per a sideswiping statement in the docs) -- the driver is originally configured to look for the ODBC dylib (not iODBC) in a folder that's on the path.
When you install the iODBC driver, verify that it is installed to /usr/local/iODBC (this was where my Silicon Mac installed it to) -- and that /usr/local/iODBC/lib has libiodbc.dylib in it. If so, navigate to your installed snowflake driver directory (should be /etc/snowflake) and alter the simba.snowflake.ini file (/etc/snowflake/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/universal/simba.snowflake.ini). You want to uncomment & alter the last line to be both uncommented & point with a full path towards the iODBC dylib (instead of the default, which is the ODBC dylib).
# Darwin specific ODBCInstLib
# iODBC
ODBCInstLib=/usr/local/iODBC/lib/libiodbcinst.dylib
Make sure to comment out any other ODBCInstLib line so that only one is configured. That should enable you to get your connection to snowflake up and running on an M1 Mac.
Big Sur is macOS v11.n
Snowflake supports macOS 10.14 and 10.15 Supported OSs
So what you are trying to do is not supported and is unlikely to work
None of the other solutions worked for me but #kiran-kumawat 's answer set me down a path that worked.
It seems like the core of the issue is that the odbc code is looking for arm64 architecture drivers but Snowflake is providing it in x86_64 architecture. By installing an x86_64 versions of odbc we are able to have it successfully talk to the driver.
First I uninstalled R and Rstudio. (it may be possible to sim-link or change things behind the scenes to make this work with existing installs but I am not sure).
Then install rosetta (apples software for translating between architectures) and a version of homebrew built with it. I am leaving my main version of homebrew in place.
softwareupdate --install-rosetta
arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Then use that version of homebrew to install odbc, R, and Rstudio.
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew install unixodbc
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew install --cask rstudio
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew install --cask r
We then need to install the snowflake driver: https://sfc-repo.snowflakecomputing.com/odbc/mac64/latest/index.html
Click through all the install prompts.
Modify your files
/usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini:
[Snowflake Driver]
Driver = /opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/libSnowflake.dylib
/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
[Snowflake]
Driver = Snowflake Driver
uid = <uid>
server = <server>
role = <role>
warehouse = <warehouse>
authenticator = externalbrowser
We also need to modify the simba.snowflake.ini file.
It is somewhat locked down so run:
sudo chmod 646 /opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/simba.snowflake.ini
Then
vim /opt/snowflake/snowflakeodbc/lib/universal/simba.snowflake.ini
And find the ODBCInstLib line that is uncommented and change it to:
ODBCInstLib=/usr/local/Cellar/unixodbc/2.3.9_1/lib/libodbcinst.dylib
After setting this up I was able to use this connection successfully:
install.packages("DBI")
install.packages("odbc")
con <- DBI::dbConnect(odbc::odbc(), "Snowflake")
one of our team member suggested below steps and it worked for us for Apple M1 series
Install the latest snowflake driver
Uninstall m1 based homebrew using cmd
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
Install intel based homebrew - restart terminal when done
arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Re-install unixodbc
arch -x86_64 brew install unixodbc
Test
isql -v Pattern
in your database.yml file for connection to snowflake make following change-
replace "dsn: <DSN_NAME>" with following
conn_str: "Driver={PATH};Locale=en-US;uid={USER_NAME};pwd= {PASSWORD};server=<yours>.snowflakecomputing.com;role=<ROLE>;charset=UTF-8;warehouse=<WAREHOUSE>;database=<DATABASE>;schema=<SCHEMA>;"
Has anyone gotten this to work? I use excel w odbc to refresh snowflake files and have tried multiple ways to move the drivers etc and followed snowflake instructions but never works. I did get parallels to work running windows arm but would prefer to just do this in Mac OS
I also have a M1 (version Monterey 12.0) and I ran into similar issues when I tested the driver. Nevertheless, when I tried the "real connection" it worked like a charm. So, maybe it would be good for you to go and test the "real connection" to avoid a wasting of time using such testing. Hope you find this useful.

Compile sqlite3-devel 3.35.4 on CentOS 7

I am trying to upgrade my sqlite3-devel to 3.35.4. I can download and install the sqlite binary for the standard sqlite3 program but I cannot find a way to get the development version of sqlite3 version 3.35.4.
I need to update Proj to Proj8 which requires sqlite3 => 3.11
CentOS repos only support sqlite3 3.7.17.
How can I get sqlite3 3.35.4 "dev" or "devel" installed on CentOS 7?

Install postfix in CentOS 7 without maria-db

I am trying to install postfix using yum in CentOS 7. I'm using a version of mysql (5.5.28) which is installed directly from a rpm file.
The default postfix has a dependency on mariadb. Since mariadb conflicts with mysql I'm unable to use this. I tried using the centosplus repository which has mysql support. After installing compat-mysql rpm, I am able to install postfix using following command:
yum install --exclude=mariadb-libs --exclude=mysql-community-libs
postfix
But after this when I try to start postfix I get the following error:
/usr/sbin/postconf: relocation error: /usr/sbin/postconf: symbol
mysql_real_connect, version libmysqlclient_18 not defined in file
libmysqlclient.so.18 with link time reference
I am kind of stuck at here. Can any one please help?
Thanks in advance.
You need all required packages. Install all deendency packages.
Note that Installing Mariadb does mot mean you need it running. It will take only space on disk.

Uninstall teradata ulitilies issue

I am trying to install teradata utilities 15.x,
I earlier installed teradata ODBC drive and .NET Data Provider for teradata.
Now if I start the installation, I get an error saying:
"The installation failed for the following reason:
A TTU 14.0 suite is installed. Please uninstall all TTU 14.10 suites before installing TTU 15.00"
I tried to uninstall the suite using uninstall_TTU.vbs, but I get below error:
TTUSuiteSilent.exe was not found in .\TTU directory.
This script needs TTUSuiteSilent.exe to remove suite packages.
Aborting uninstallation....
Any advise on how to get this uninstalled?
The Teradata ODBC driver typically requires three components to be installed on the client:
ICU Libraries
GSS Libraries
ODBC Driver
You must ensure that all three of these have been removed before you can replace them with another version. Typically, they can be found in the Add/Remove Programs applet of the Windows Control Panel.
