Hello, I have a problem while trying to connect R-code to Firebird database:
In a Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit OS) system, when I download and install 64-bit versions of Firebird server, Firebird ODBC driver and unixODBC, it seems that the Odbc driver comes with SQLLEN = 4, while unixODBC (64 bits) can only communicate with drivers with SQLLEN = 8. Running slencheck function (from unixODBC), in a configured DSN, returns: slencheck: sizeof(SQLLEN) == 4 slencheck: driver manager and driver differ!!! This causes problems when trying to select tables with text columns in it (std::bad_alloc error) If I try to use 32-bit version, I can properly manage a communication between firebird and unixODBC, but then another problem happen in R-code side (can't install R packages using 32-bit) So my question is, there's a way of modifying SQLLEN of Firebird ODBC driver to match unixODBC configuration? Or perhaps changing unixODBC's SQLLEN without changing its bitness? Best regards
