You can try downloading the driver yourself and following the instructions
for building it. You will see that it fails to build. If you hack it so
that it compiles, then you can't connect to the database because you get a
run-time error that the command doesn't exist or the module can't be found
or blah-blah. Then if you deal with that issue... (on and on...).
Now I look and see that many people who are trying to fork or fix the code
on github have issued pull requests and left comments that this needs to be
fixed or that needs to be fixed (and some comments say the code no longer
compiles) but the comments are months to years old and have still gone
unresponded to.
I guess I'm not surprised. This is what always happens to me when I work
in Erlang. Erlang itself is great, considered in a vacuum. But once you
leave the solace of anything that was shipped with it, it turns into a
ghetto. Even products WRITTEN in Erlang will support every language on the
planet BUT Erlang.
I guess I would ask how ChicagoBoss is solving the issue... but I'm not
sure I want to even try anymore. I don't think I want to rest a project's
fate on a joke unmaintained driver.
Thanks.
