Hello fellow KiCad users,
I have a database library for my company that uses MariaDB. For my user, I use SSL certificates, username and password. When using the isql command with the configured DNS for the connection to this database through the MariaDB ODBC, I can connect without problems.
In my system I also have installed MySQLWorkbench to edit the tables on the database, and it connects just fine.
Nevertheless, when I open the schematic editor in KiCad, and try to load the Place Component (A) panel, KiCad starts loading the libraries, but at some point it just freezes and I get a warning from my system asking if KiCad should be stopped or let it run a bit more time.
My DB configuration was working some weeks ago, but it seems I updated some component (I guess the MariaDB ODBC connector?) and now I get this behavior.
For the record, I have tested the MariaDB ODBC connector versions 3.1.22 and 3.2.16 with the same results.
I believe this happend to me in the past, and I was able to solve it by installing a different version of the ODBC connector.
Any advices on how to debug it or solve the issue? I would expect KiCad to at least not become un-responsive, so I think there is a bug somewhere.
I opened a gitlab issue but I set it to confidential in the case I have to share my setup files.
Regards,
