Hi there,

 

I work with Actian Vector - the Vectorwise database has been rebranded to Vector,

 

The Vector databse can be connected to Power BI using the Datta source 'other' which will provide the ODBC option.

 

To use this method go to the Actian download sitre esd.actian.com and choose the "Ingres drivers" option "Client Runtime" and platform "Windows 64-bit"

 

 

 

Once youhave the driver installed you will be able to connect using Power BI ->

 

  Create a system DSN for yoru database

 

 Get Data -->  more options --> Other --> ODBC

 

The new products like " Actian X " / Vector  and Vector in Hadoop can all be used with Power BI in this way.

You will need to join the Actian Community to download the Vector Drivers
