@Galaxy83 did you find any workaround? I'm also facing same issue with Ruby 3.2.0

[Galaxy83]

@sandeshbodake nope. We refrained from updating the relevant microservice for now. Fortunately, updating to 3.2.0 is not critical. We are still looking for solutions.

Sorry I don't use ODBC in any way since years, so that I don't want to maintain this gem. You might contact the original author Christian Werner, to do the necessary changes or send him a patch.

The changes for ruby-3.2 are quite trivial. All the taint-things are gone and can be removed or changed to the non-taint-calls. See here for instance: ged/ruby-pg@25d6ff2

[larskanis]

I had some contact with Christian Werner by mail: chw@ch-werner.de years ago.

@larskanis thx for the comment on taint removal, as we needed this quick, I copied latest v0.999991 from Christian Werner's page, and did a quick patch.
Could be further cleaned up, but works for now.

https://github.com/vhermecz/ruby-odbc

Using it in our Gemfile as gem 'ruby-odbc', github: 'vhermecz/ruby-odbc'

The scary part is that the lib did built in Linux envs, only broke when we wanted to use. It did broke however when performing a build on new ARM based Mac.

Thanks @vhermecz for patching this!

Would it be possible to merge the fixing PR and release a new version on Rubygems? The changelog here mentions a recent version: http://www.ch-werner.de/rubyodbc/ChangeLog

I know the gem is unsupported but it would help many people and someone else already fixed it. @larskanis
