Support for ODBC was added in Profound.js 5.3.0. |

There are a few known issues in the odbc package and IBM i Access ODBC driver that affect Profound.js:
...
- The current beta version of the odbc package has a bug where errors are not reported/handled properly when problems occur while establishing a connection (such as bad password, etc.). This can make it difficult to troubleshoot connection issues.
- Installation of the odbc package beta is not as simple as most NPM packages. The package has to be built from source code at installation time – see below.
- The current version of the IBM i Access ODBC driver does not support calls to stored procedures with CLOB parameters.
