Failed to precompile - related to Printf and DecFP

[whubbla]

Hello.

I recently installed Julia 1.5.0. I need to be able to import data from Microsoft SQL server and it seemed like your extension would help me. I added it through the package manager. Now, when I type "using ODBC", it tells me that it failed to precompile. I can successfully run "using Printf" but not "using DecFP". See below:

Yes, a few people have run into this; it has something to do with using an old version of DecFP.jl, even though ODBC.jl requires a newer one. Usually this is fixed by doing ] up DecFP and making sure you're on a version 1.0+

@quinnj - Thanks! That appears to have worked. DecFP needed to upgrade (at the cost of downgrading SpecialFunctions). Now on to actually getting the db connection set up.

Good luck! Let me know if you run into issues
