  Hi everyone,

  I am starting work on a Project that will use an application on the Raspberry Pi3 to connect to a SQL Server 2016 instance. The OS on the Pi is Windows 10 IoT. The Problem is that due to the architecture on the Pi being ARM I can't seem to find an ODBC (or OLE DB) Driver for it.

  So far I have tried the Raspberry Pi foundation and as many Pi sites as I could find but up until now, no luck.

  Has anyone got any ideas where I might find one? It doesn't need to be fast, it just needs to work.....

  Regards,

  Kev

  Windows 10 IoT Core doesn't support SQL Server natively, no.

  It does appear someone is writing an article about it here[/url] however their latest post doesn't have the answer yet (it was only made 2 days ago).

  Might be worth keeping an eye on that topic.

  Hi Thom,

  thanks for clarifying; that was my thought as well. The link I will be checking out.

  Looks like I'll be relying on inefficient ETL in the meantime.....
