opensearch_sql_odbc.taco cannot be found [BUG]

[elliotweissberg]

What is the bug? The connector file opensearch_sql_odbc.taco that is linked in the read me does not seem to exist, and leads to a page not found error.

How can one reproduce the bug? Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'project home page'
2. Click on 'Tableau connector'
3. See error

Yes. The connector links should get updated. However, if you're looking for the latest connectors, you can download the 2.0.0 release connectors from: https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql/actions/runs/2392486854

Thanks! I see that the .pkg file is also in the release notes. It would also be immensely useful if there was some kind of link to them from the readMe as well. Currently, the readMe makes reference to the driver package, but does not mention where to find them.

@acarbonetto The 2.0.0 release connector for tableau is called opensearch_sql_jdbc.taco, but everything else in the docs seems to recommend using ODBC. Is the tableau connector misnamed, or should I be using JDBC to connect opensearch to tableau?

[acarbonetto]

You shouldn't have trouble using the ODBC driver in tableau, but there was an issue creating the connector with the ODBC (I don't know exactly which existing issue is related). So it was created with JDBC. That's all the background that I know of.

this issue is a duplicate of https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql/issues/439

[acarbonetto]

@elliotweissberg sounds like the odbc driver in tableau is giving some people issues (https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql-odbc/issues/23) and this may be an issue. Recommend using the jdbc driver instead, at least for now.
