Is it possible to connect to Azure Sql Server database from Access using 'Sql Server Native Agent' driver and Azure Active Directory authentication?
I can connect using Odbc driver for Sql Server but if in Access I have problem with date and datetime2 columns (they are seen by Access as text fields instead datetime)
This is a known issue of older SQL server ODBC drivers.
Use a more recent ODBC driver. An overview of versions can be found on This MS Docs page

1.I'm unable to connect AzureSQL DB from Azure APP Services.
2.In Azure App Services Sonarqube is running with 8.9.7 version i created some of the projects and i passed the connection string on with JDBC URL , User Name , Password and default tables is not creating.
3.Both db and password are correct manul i treid to login into db as well showing zero tables.
4.I'm getting one more exception with "*****Embedded database should be used for evaluation purposes only
The embedded database will not scale, it will not support upgrading to newer versions of SonarQube, and there is no support for migrating your data out of it into a different database engine.****"
Below are the screen shot for reference.
I have a ODBC datasource and I'd need to use it with PowerBI. It works fine locally.
In order to refresh data and keep user up to date, I need to send this data do cloud (Azure/BlobStorage) then PowerBI can connect directly into Blob Storage and consume the data.
As discussed here stackoverflow-topic , we need an on-premises server to have this ODBC running.
It sounds a quite confusing to me as we need the data on cloud, using ODBC as datasource and "publishing" the data with Blob Storage, and for that, we do need a local server.
I'm very begginer with Azure Cloud but... don't we have any other way to have this process configured without local server or a expensive Virtual Machine on Azure? Looks like we are running in circles here.
Thank you!
Your options:
Install Power BI Gateway (standard mode) on a server to host the ODBC driver
Install Power BI Gateway (personal mode) on your PC to host the ODBC driver
Copy the data to Azure (Blob Storage or Azure SQL Database, etc), and configure the Power BI Model to load the data from there instead of ODBC
Manually refresh your data in Power BI Desktop and re-publish it to Power BI whenever the data needs to be updated.
For Option 3 you can use any tool you want to copy the data to Azure. Azure Data Factory is one option, and for that you would need to install the Self-Hosted Integration Runtime to host the ODBC driver. But you can also extract the data to files and copy them to Auzre Storage with AzCopy.
I have a BigQuery instance and I have shared a view with a service account. This service account has the "bigQuery.User" role. I setup Simba ODBC drivers on my Ubuntu machine, installed Libreoffice base on it and also modified the odbc.ini file to use the above service account. I'm able to connect to Bigquery but when I try to query the shared view, it throws an error saying that "user does not have BigQuery.tables.create permission for table ...". Looks like LibreOfficeBase Base is trying to create some temp tables. Tried with MS Excel and same error is thrown
My questions:
Isn't the "bigQuery.User" role enough to query data from shared datasets/tables?
Why does Libre Office Base require such extra permissions?
What I tried:
I shared the data with a user account(someuser#gmail.com). I gave the same role i.e. bigQuery.user to this account. I was able to query data successfully from this account.
I also tried on Tableau. Tableau has native support for Bigqyuery and also supports ODBC connections(to connect BigQuery, MySql, etc). I tried with both i.e. connecting to Bigquery using Tableau native BigQuery support and using ODBC connection. It worked with native BigQuery but not with ODBC connection(maybe it has the same issue as LibreOffice base and MS Excel)
Hi Is it possible to connect Azure Postgres SQL Database to PowerBI using Direct Query, I cant seem to find information regarding this.
Currently these are the only data sources supported by DirectQuery:
Amazon Redshift
Azure HDInsight Spark (Beta)
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Data Warehouse
Google BigQuery (Beta)
IBM DB2 database
IBM Netezza (Beta)
Impala (version 2.x)
Oracle Database (version 12 and above)
SAP Business Warehouse Application Server
SAP Business Warehouse Message Server (Beta)
SAP HANA
Snowflake
Spark (Beta) (version 0.9 and above)
SQL Server
Teradata Database
Vertica (Beta)
PostgreSQL is supported, but only in import mode. So no, you can't use DirectQuery with PostgreSQL (unless you write your own custom connector). You can vote for this idea though.
I'm working on a Custom Connector that will work for Direct Query from PostgreSQL through an ODBC driver. Working on a full write-up (this month when I get time) but until then I can just share the repo here:
DirectQuery for Postgres via ODBC
This is working for us to DirectQuery our Postgres data source via an Azure hosted Windows instance running the custom connector on a On-Premise gateway 24/7.
Is there a way to connect SQL Server 2008 R2 to the Azure Data Marketplace to enable data import?
Are there any ODBC or JDBC drivers for the Azure Data Marketplace?
I'm a bit confused by the question. Is this about publishing data through the Windows Azure Marketplace and sourcing it from SQL Server? Or is it about accessing published data from an application and bringing that data into your own app?
If the former:
You may choose to host your data in SQL Server. When you sign up for data hosting in the Windows Azure Marketplace, you'll provide the requisite connection strings for your servers. You don't have to worry about ODBC/JDBC drivers. See the data publishing documentation for more details.
If the latter: Data may be accessed via HTTP/OData, not ODBC/JDBC. It's a metered consumption model, so you need to subscribe to a particular data feed, which then gives you an access token. Check out this video from TechEd last year to see more about this, along with a .NET code sample. You can easily access data from any other language as well.
If your goal is to access the data feed directly from SQL Server: I'm no expert in CLR Stored Procedures, but if CLR SP's supported code that can access a web service endpoint, I guess you could write a CLR SP to access a data feed, pull data down, and populate local tables. I have no idea if this is supported or advisable...
