Binary download for Windows: rename to add ".exe" to filename.

[sharpe5]

Thanks for such an amazing repo, everything just worked first time which is the mark of nicely written code. Much appreciated.

Very small issue: I downloaded the WIndows binaries here:
https://github.com/pacman82/odbc2parquet/releases/tag/v0.6.16

However, I had to manually edit the filename to add ".exe", and then it worked.

Hello @sharpe5,

thanks for your nice feedback. You are welcome. I am a bit worried what an .exe file ending will do with regards to security settings then downloading the file, but I think just naming it odbc2parquet.exe and zipping it before publishing might do the trick.

Cheers, Markus

I considered security settings as well, I figured that was the reason behind it. I think a .zip file is the best, as it's not immediately executable with a click. BTW, this is probably the easiest-to-use SQL utility I've ever come across, and it's perfect for exporting data to Python for in-depth analysis. Thanks again!

Thanks again for your kind words.

FYI: If it is Data Analysis in Python you want to do, I may have a treat for you. It is still young, but minmal viable product is there:
