Here is Spark's documentation for this: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-ref-syntax-qry-select-distribute-by.html We need to figure out where to add this. DataFusion can already parse this SQL but ignores it during planning. We probably need...

> cc @andygrove in case you have some thoughts on this I filed an issue against DataFusion to add support for this type of query: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/3266

I went through a similar effort with Apache Arrow and there is a DataType enum there that supports structured types. Maybe we can take some inspiration from that. https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/rust/arrow/src/datatypes.rs#L53-L81

Yes, good point. I was just roughing out the DataTypes enum to get some basic tests working. I really want to study both the ODBC and JDBC specifications and learn...

For reference, the current traits are: ```rust /// Represents database driver that can be shared between threads, and can therefore implement /// a connection pool pub trait Driver: Sync +...

@sd2k This is awesome :-) I was hoping someone would jump in and show me the way ... I think I chose the wrong database drivers to integrate with so...

It would need to be dynamic loading of shared libs so that a user can use any driver with a product without having to have a version of the product...

Actually, this is very common in desktop products where the user can add new JDBC drivers through the user interface without the need to restart the application.

Thanks for raising this and also for filing https://github.com/blackbeam/rust-mysql-simple/issues/199
