Cloning a Project with Submodules

Please note - git submodules are used in this project.

When you clone such a project, by default you get the directories that contain submodules, but none of the files within them. So, in order to build the project, you need either:

• clone repo with all submodules altogether (use --recursive)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/yandex/clickhouse-odbc

• or add submodules manually after main project cloned - in the root of source tree run:

git submodule init && git submodule update

Installing Prerequisites (Linux)

You'll need to have installed:

• Fresh C compiler, which understands -std=c++14
• Static libraries
  • static libgcc
  • static libstdc++
  • static libodbc
• cmake >= 3

RPM-based Linux

CentOS is shipped with gcc 4.X, which is not suitable for this task. Fedora and CentOS do not have static libodbc provided, so you'll need either to build your own, or download 3-rd party packages. Static libodbc is available for Fedora 25 and Fedora 26. If you are running another OS, you can try to build your own RPMs from this project.

DEB-based Linux

Install unixodbc >= 2.3.0

sudo apt install unixodbc-dev

Building (Linux)

1. At the root of source directory:

mkdir -p build; cd build && cmake .. && make -j $(nproc || sysctl -n hw.ncpu || echo 2)

2. clickhouse-odbc.so will be at build/driver/clickhouse-odbc.so

ODBC configuration

vim ~/.odbc.ini:

[ClickHouse]
Driver = $(PATH_OF_CLICKHOUSE_ODBC_SO)
Description = ClickHouse driver
DATABASE = default
SERVER = localhost
PORT = 8123
FRAMED = 0

Testing

Run isql -v ClickHouse
