Hi,
For work I have two windows machine (laptop at home, desktop station at work). At work, I can install odbc and via 'Connections' - 'New Connection' set up a connection.
However, with my laptop, whenever I install odbc and click on 'New Connection' I see 'Preparing Connections' and RStudio keeps hanging on this (so before I see the possible connection types, it already hangs). RStudio remains responsive, but after half an hour it is still preparing.
Now, when I remove odbc and clcik 'New Connection' I see simply the odbc option and the spark. When I click odbc, it asks to install odbc and after installing it hangs again.
The differences in Sys.getenv() are minimal and installed packages are minimal, both machines are Windows 10, etc. So, I'm wondering, how to debug this issue efficiently?
