Hi,
I am trying to use the "Connect" engine to read data from Microsoft SQL
Server 2008 R2 from a linux based MariaDB instance.

I am getting the following error.

create table tablea  (

    ->  id bigint(20) NOT NULL,

   )

    -> engine=connect table_type=ODBC

    -> block_size=10

    -> tabname='tablea'

    -> Connection='DSN=MSSQLTestServer'

ERROR 1105 (HY000): Unsupported table type ODBC


I have the underlying linux box talking fine to the "MSSQLTestServer" via
odbc through the iSQL command.

You can see here where i connect via isql from the command line with no
issue

isql -v MSSQLTestServer sa $sanitized

+---------------------------------------+

| Connected!                            |

|                                       |

| sql-statement                         |

| help [tablename]                      |

| quit                                  |

|                                       |

+---------------------------------------+

 So odbc is installed and working properly on the linux box. Do you have
any advice on how to get past this error?


Thanks,
