Been a little while since I worked on ODBC stuff, but I have a couple of thoughts:

• Would it be possible to use something like a table function on the DB side to simplify the query from the ODBC side?

• I could be misremembering, but I feel like looping through individual inserts with an open connection was faster than trying to submit data in bulk when inserting that much data in one shot. Might be worth doing a benchmark in a test DB and table to confirm.

I know I was able to insert more than 50M rows in a manner of single digit hours, but unfortunately don’t have access to that codebase anymore to double check the specifics.

Why did they submit this as a pull request in the first place? Just commit it to a WIP branch until it’s ready to merge. Am I missing something?

Oh yeah that’s a great alternate option too if your mobile plan includes tethering. I’ve successfully used both Android and iOS tethering in the past and it was pretty seemless each time.

Wi-Fi drivers are notoriously complicated on Linux in general, though things have been improving. But yeah if ‘iwctl device list’ comes up empty when you plan to use Wi-Fi to install Arch, especially if Ethernet isn’t a viable temporary alternative because your device doesn’t have an Ethernet port, you’re in for a tough time.
