FDB Extension

Hello, I need to connect to database, that has FDB extension. Is it possible? Can you tell me which program should I choose in "get data" section? Or is it possible to convert this FDB extension file to another one which Power BI supports?

Hi @Tamuna ,

 

1. What database are you using? Can it be found in the documentation below? If it is there, you can select the corresponding connector to connect to the data source.

2. Check if the database you are using supports ODBC connections.

3. If none of the above is supported, you'll need to convert and import the .fdb file into a database that PowerBI can connect to.

 

Best Regards,
