history
Project history and usage
odbc2parquet is a Rust command-line tool for extracting query results from ODBC data sources into Apache Parquet files, with matching commands for inserting Parquet data back through ODBC. It packages a narrow but valuable bridge between older database connectivity and columnar analytics storage.
Project history
The public GitHub repository was created on 2020-08-27. The README frames the tool around small memory usage, ODBC bulk reads, and flexibility across any data source with an ODBC driver, including examples for SQL Server-style connection strings and DSNs.
The changelog shows steady maintenance and semantic versioning. Version 1.0.0 established semantic versioning and wrote Parquet 2.0; later releases added commands such as exec, refined timestamp and decimal behavior, updated odbc-api and parquet dependencies, and tuned logging.
Adoption history
Distribution exists through Homebrew, Scoop, GitHub release binaries, and Cargo. That footprint matches the tool's cross-platform database-export role: Windows users often already have an ODBC manager, while Linux and macOS users install unixODBC.
How it is used
Users run odbc2parquet query with a connection string or DSN, an output Parquet path, and SQL. The tool maps ODBC type information to Parquet physical/logical types, streams batches instead of holding the full result in memory, and can list drivers or data sources for troubleshooting.
The insert and exec workflows make it useful in the other direction too: Parquet files can become input to parameterized database writes through ODBC drivers.
Why package nerds care
odbc2parquet is a good example of modern Rust CLI packaging around old enterprise plumbing. It avoids building a database-specific exporter for every engine by leaning on ODBC, then emits Parquet, the interchange format expected by many analytics stacks.
Timeline
- 2020-08-27: public GitHub repository created.
- Version 1.0.0: changelog records Parquet 2.0 output and semantic versioning.
