Hi,

we've managed to get Node-RED connected to SAP SQL Anywhere. Node-RED runs in the United Manufacturing Hub as a Docker container in a Kubernetes cluster, so it was a lot of pain getting the Linux libraries / ODBC drivers installed.

If anyone else ever needs to do this, we've written a small article about it: [Connecting Node-RED to SAP SQL Anywhere with Custom Docker Instance](https://learn.umh.app/course/connecting-to-sap-sql-anywhere-using-a-custom-node-red-instance/)

Looking forward to feedback as well!
