## Prerequisites

1. **Install uv**:
   ```bash
   pip install uv
   ```
   Or use Homebrew:
   ```bash
   brew install uv
   ```

2. **unixODBC Runtime Environment Checks**:

1. Check installation configuration (i.e., location of key INI files) by running: `odbcinst -j`
2. List available data source names by running: `odbcinst -q -s`
   
3. **ODBC DSN Setup**: Configure your ODBC Data Source Name (`~/.odbc.ini`) for the target database. Example for Virtuoso DBMS:
   ```
   [VOS]
   Description = OpenLink Virtuoso
   Driver = /path/to/virtodbcu_r.so
   Database = Demo
   Address = localhost:1111
   WideAsUTF16 = Yes
   ```

3. **SQLAlchemy URL Binding**: Use the format:
   ```
   virtuoso+pyodbc://user:password@VOS
   ```
