SNOW-1858310: pdo_snowflake cannot be used with Linux Alpine

[aistisstramkauskas]

What is the current behavior?

Currently it is possible to install and use pdo_extension together with PHP which is compiled using glibc. However it is not possible to use the extension with PHP alpine Docker image where PHP is compiled using musl.

What is the desired behavior?

That it would be possible to use pdo_snowflake with Docker PHP alpine image.

How would this improve pdo_snowflake?

Better compatibility with linux distros. PHP apps following good practices in production and using Alpine distro, cannot use pdo_snowflake at the moment.

+1 on this. Would be good to make it compatible with alpine.

At this moment i'm not aware of any priority for the team to work on this feature in the near future. With that said, things can always change their priority and your inputs are essential for this. Please reach out to your Snowflake account team and let them know how important this capability would be for your use-case. These additional inputs can help plans change priority. Thank you !
