Support for Vertica

[amosmoss]

Hi,

I would like to suggest adding support for the Vertica DB.

Thanks,
Amos.

@amosmoss Is this something you would be willing to work on? If so I just checked in a document on what you would need so I can give you a hand.

It's unmaintained, but node-vertica may help here.

For testing: https://my.vertica.com/download/vertica/community-edition/

We can likely help. We use both Vertica and node-vertica.

The instructions to build Falcon can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md. I've just noticed that CONTRIBUTING.md needs a bit of cleaning up. Briefly, the instructions to build Falcon are:

$ git clone https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client falcon-sql-client
$ cd falcon-sql-client
$ yarn install
$ yarn run rebuild:modules:electron
$ yarn run build
$ yarn run start

The process to add a new connector is roughly described in NEW_CONNECTION.md.

And #332 can be used as an example of a straight-forward PR adding a new connector and the corresponding tests.

Please, don't hesitate to ping me here or by email, if you need help with anything.

Sorry, I just saw the comment. I'm sorry, but I don't really a coder...

@amosmoss No worries (and thank you for opening this issue). We'll keep the issue open so that others can show their interest in this connector.
