I am trying to connect SSAS multidimensional cube to big Query dataset. I have installed and configured Simba ODBC driver for Big Query but I can not see the installed driver in Visual studio connection providers.
Can anyone help on this?
I have configured the simba odbc driver for big query using GCP service account.

Getting below error while connecting Simba driver with BigQuery on OBIEE UNIX Env , any suggesting's. Do we have some license file associated with the driver.
Using the driver from : https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/odbc-jdbc-drivers
You are not licensed to use this ODBC driver with the DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager under the license you have purchased. You can order a license by calling DataDirect Technologies at 800-876-3101 in North America and +44 (0) 1753-218 930 elsewhere. Thank you for your cooperation.
So the way this is working (I think) it’s like this. Oracle has embedded DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager with OBIEE since the beginning of time. I think this ODBC manager acts as a bridge between the BI Server and the ODBC sources, which have their own ODBC drivers. So even though the Google provided Simba ODBC Driver provides ODBC connectivity to BigQuery the DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager is still needed to interact between the BI Server and the Simba ODBC Driver. In all the examples I have seen online using the DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager to connect OBIEE to other ODBC sources (like Apache Drill, DB2, etc) there is never a mention of having to have a license file for the DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager. While BigQuery was initially in the OBIEE Certification Matrix as a supported data source it has been removed in Nov 2017:
So either Oracle has told DataDirect to start charging for using the Simba ODBC Driver for BigQuery or this was never supported by the DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager and hence it wants a license to present in the system. This seems to be an action taken as a result of the longstanding lawsuit between Oracle and Google. I have tested that once you get a DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager license file (DDODBC.LIC) and you place it on your place in the DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager install directory in your OBIEE installation (in my case this was under ./bi/modules/oracle.bi.datadirect.odbc/8.0.2) this error goes away.
I am trying to connect to hive databases with a client, I have tried using DBeaver and downloaded the hive driver, but after that I have noticed that there is a kerbero's instance in the middle, and it seems that the dbeaver driver doesn't supoort kerberos.
¿There is some windows client suitable to query hive databases easy to plug in, considering the kerbero's instance?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to connect the QuickBooks (QODBC) application data through Pentaho (Kettle) for ETL process. Would like to know how can we connect the QuickBooks (QODBC) application data through Pentaho.
Pentaho's ODBC connections use the JDBC-ODBC bridge that is bundled with Java.
The JDBC-ODBC bridge driver was removed in Java 8, preventing ODBC drivers from being usable in newer versions of Pentaho or other Java-based applications.
Generally, in such scenario, we suggest to use MS-Access (third Party application -->MS Access--> Linked tables-->QRemote-->QODBC-->QuickBooks Data), but in this case, accessing MS-Access also requires OBDC. A JDBC driver called UCanAccess is available as an alternative.
The limitation of UCanAccess is that it does not allow to query linked table and can only connect to ms-access base tables.
I would suggest to get in touch with Pentaho and see if you can get a version that allows JDBC-ODBC connection (Generic ODBC) via DSN.
My goal is to connect to a Mongo database from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2014 and be able to perform simple SQL queries.
I'm using Linked Servers connections through ODBC drivers.
I've tried the following drivers for Mongo:
Simba Mongo ODBC driver I stuck with error "Required conversion is not supported". But at least I was able to connect to Mongo server and see list of Mongo tables/collections.
Progress Mongo ODBC driver I stuck with error "Insufficient information to connect to the data source" (While test from ODBC Administrator is successful).
I would really appreciate any help about establishing connection between Mongo and SSMS.
Maybe you can recommend some specific ODBC driver for Mongo?
When testing the connection from Tableau Desktop to Apache Hive Server, it throws an error that the drivers have not be installed. Tableau is providing drivers for only Cloudera, HortonWorks and MapR. But, the drivers are not provided for Apache Hive.
How to connect to from Tableau Desktop to Apache Hive?
I got it working using the MapR driver.
