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

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, its necessary to create custom connectors for it with ODBC extensions.
