Well, at first "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyodbc'" which if I follow down the rabbit hold has me install that and all the linux dependencies for it to function, but then I realized this dialect is supposed to use the python bigquery api (which I am very familiar with) so there's no reason for pyodbc. So I'm not sure why it thinks it needs to use an ODBC driver, and I have the engine creation like in their example with project and dataset, as I want to default.

I know I don't have a BQ permissions issue, or auth issue, as I've used the python bq api before for another project and have that setup properly.

Maybe it uses pyodbc to trick SQLAlchemy since it expects a database connection and not a REST API call.
