I noticed when I was trying to install the pydobc ver 4.0.30 module using the Python Package Manager interface (in ArcGIS Pro 2.5) that pyodbc would never really install. There were no error messages or anything, it would just not install.
To see what was going on, I tried doing it using conda from the command line, but it would warn me that the gdal module would get rolled back:

I said no.
My next move was to try it using pip, and it installed without any warnings or anything:

My questions are:
- Is this a good practice?
- Am I potentially going to cause issues doing this?
I'll try it out and see what happens, I was just wondering if any python gurus out there could shed light on potential issues I could expect from using PIP to bypass warnings from Conda.
Thanks!
