MongoDB Custom Connector Issue with DirectQuery - Failed to Convert BIGINT to INTEGER

Anonymous — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 13:15:19 GMT

I am setting up a DirectQuery connection from my local MongoDB environment to Microsoft Power BI. I created a custom connector using the sample ODBC connector from Microsoft (https://github.com/microsoft/DataConnectors/tree/master/samples). I am using the latest MongoDB ODBC Driver and MongoDB ODBC Driver for BI Connector. I created a System Data Source that is used as the input for my custom connector.

I am bringing in the following collection to Power BI for DirectQuery:
tbllinktrafficdata. I try to create a Slicer with the LastUpdate field. When I filter on one LinkID (which is a field), I get the following error.

"ErrorMessage":"Failed to convert type bigint to integer, expression `LinkID` to 1506780."

"ErrorMessage":"This ODBC driver doesn't support SQL_FN_CVT_CONVERT or SQL_FN_CVT_CAST. You can override this by using SqlGetInfo for SQL_CONVERT_FUNCTIONS."

It looks like I'm seeing a conversion error, but I'm not sure how to resolve the issue within the connector code.

Here is my SqlGetInfo function:

SQLGetInfo = [
// place custom overrides here
SQL_SQL92_PREDICATES = ODBC[SQL_SP][All],
SQL_AGGREGATE_FUNCTIONS = ODBC[SQL_AF][All],
SQL_CONVERT_FUNCTIONS = ODBC[SQL_CVT][BIGINT]
],

//this is from OdbcConstants file that is called in Power Query file
SQL_CVT = [
BIGINT = 0x00004000
]

Here is more of the Power BI Trace Log:

I was able to work around this by transforming in SqlColumn function. Odbc SQL types taken from ODBC constants SQL_TYPE (included below)

SQLColumns = (catalogName, schemaName, tableName, columnName, source) =>
let
OdbcSqlType.BIG_INT = -5,
OdbcSqlType.INTEGER = 4,

FixDataType = (dataType) =>
if dataType = OdbcSqlType.BIG_INT then
OdbcSqlType.INTEGER
else
dataType,
Transform = Table.TransformColumns(source, { { "DATA_TYPE", FixDataType } })
in
// the if statement conditions will force the values to evaluated/written to diagnostics
if (Diagnostics.LogValue("SQLColumns.TableName", tableName) <> "***" and Diagnostics.LogValue("SQLColumns.ColumnName", columnName) <> "***") then
let
// Outputting the entire table might be too large, and result in the value being truncated.
// We can output a row at a time instead with Table.TransformRows()
rows = Table.TransformRows(Transform, each Diagnostics.LogValue("SQLColumns", _)),
toTable = Table.FromRecords(rows)
in
Value.ReplaceType(toTable, Value.Type(Transform))
else
Transform,

SQL Data Types

SQL_TYPE =
[
// Base data types (sql.h)
UNKNOWN = 0,
NULL = 0,
CHAR = 1,
NUMERIC = 2,
DECIMAL = 3,
INTEGER = 4,
SMALLINT = 5,
FLOAT = 6,
REAL = 7,
DOUBLE = 8,
DATETIME = 9, // V3 Only
VARCHAR = 12,

Did you manage to get the DirectQuery working with MongoDB?
