Can we pull in a table in direct query mode using Generic ODBC connector

‎07-18-2024 02:04 AM

Hi Guys,

 

I'm new here and trying to explore Trino connectivity to Power BI.

I've used ODBC Generic connector for establishing the connectivity but I couldn't pull a table in 'Direct Query'. By default it is pulling in as Import query, is there any way to change it from Import to Direct query or to pull in a table as direct query itself.

 

Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi @Ananda-Krishnan,

 

As far as I know, the default ODBC data source does not support Direct Query:

 

Power Query ODBC connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn

 

If you want to connect to ODBC via Direct Query, it’s necessary to create custom connectors for it with ODBC extensions.
