Re: [gdal-dev] HANA driver proposal

2021-09-14 Thread Even Rouault 

Hi,


 Can you point us to an example of a GDAL plugin that is offered as 
download from a GDAL external website?



See https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3447#issuecomment-776819142


This might be an option, but we would prefer contributing directly to 
GDAL, of course. Maintaining binary plugin versions externally for all 
the relevant versions/platforms/compilers will probably be difficult.


For the platforms/compilers part, you already need to do that to provide 
the binaries of the ODBC driver. Adding GDAL versions (GDAL driver ABI 
generally changes at feature versions) of course would add an extra 
dimension to this.


 Would it be sufficient if the OGR SAP HANA driver is reviewed by 
members of our team? And if that’s not sufficient, what options do we 
have to find someone who is qualified to do the final review?


Ultimately you need to find someone who has merge rights to be 
enthusiastic enough to press the merge button. Either because he/she has 
reviewed itself the code (because he/she's interested naturally in the 
work, or you find compelling ways of making him/her interested in it) 
and is happy to see his name in the merge commit, or he/she trusts 
someone else who has done the review.


I'm interested if other PSC members have an opinion if this should 
rather be proposed as a in-tree driver or out-of-tree one.

*Subject:* Re: [gdal-dev] HANA driver proposal

Maxim,

> “I assume the driver would depend on the ODBC library, and would require users to 
build https://github.com/SAP/odbc-cpp-wrapper 
as the corresponding ODBC 
driver ?”


The odbc-cpp-wrapper library is going to be used only during the
compilation phase and linked statically, thus end users will get
only one dynamic/shared library of the HANA driver.  Hence, no
additional actions are required from end users. For those who want
to compile the GDAL sources with HANA support on their own, the
sources of the odbc-cpp-wrapper are needed. However, this step can
be omitted if we store a copy of the library in
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/tree/master/gdal/third_party
like
we did in QGIS (see
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/tree/master/external/odbccpp
).

I can anticipate potential issues if both GDAL and QGIS have a odbcpp 
vendorized copy, and that for some reason they differ in versions. 
That could cause symbol clashes at runtime. Putting the vendorized 
copy in a dedicated namespace prefix (GDAL::) could avoid that.


Otherwise, isn't the cpl_odbc.h abstraction good enough ?

Side note: are you aware of https://github.com/nanodbc/nanodbc 
 that is also a C++ wrapper for 
ODBC ? (Mateusz one of our PSC members was the main developer of it, 
although I believe he has retired from it)


Note, that any HANA plugin (GDAL/QGIS) also requires the SAP HANA
Client (https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#hanatools
) to be able to
connect an SAP HANA database.

Is that the ODBC driver for SAP HANA ?

​Unfortunately, we are not able to answer the remaining raised
pointsas they are beyond our expertise.

Perhaps they should be addressed in a separate dedicated discussion.

Well, if you contribute to GDAL, then that should be in your area of 
interest and concern :-)


I think the main practical issue for this to go forward is for you to 
find someone who would want to review your contribution.


Another option is to propose the OGR SAP HANA driver as a plugin for 
download from your website.
