SupportsDirectQuery is currently only supported for ODBC extensions. You may&nbsp;report feature request through&nbsp;Github issues page.

v-chuncz-msft&nbsp;&nbsp;Can we connect to the REST API from an ODBC driver? And how can we create an ODBC driver? Does Microsoft have some documentation on that?

Anonymous&nbsp;Is this safe? I have never heard about this site before.&nbsp;Can we have this solution in production?&nbsp;

My company does not have any business with this company Progress.&nbsp;But according to their website, it has been named a Visionary in Gartner Magic Quadrant, so maybe worth to try it.&nbsp;https://www.progress.com/campaigns/progress-named-a-visionary-in-gartner-magic-quadrant-2018
