IBM Netezza - Custom Query

Hi,

 

I have seen on a few posts there is should be a custom query option on the IBM Netezza connection. Has it been removed? I don't seem to have it and I have installed the latest version.

To use a Netezza Query in PowerBI, you will have to use an ODBC.

Here is what I do, I installed the Netezza ODBC and setted it up as NTZ.

Then I use the PowerBI to connect to an ODBC, use the advance options and fill the information requerid using the string structure as follow: Driver={NetezzaSQL};servername=myServerAddress;port=myPortNumber;
database=myDataBase 

 

In my case: Driver={NetezzaSQL};servername=130.2.17.200;port=5480;database=STAGE;dsn=NZSQL;

Below the string paste/write the query.

And that is it

Hi @Tim2369,

 

It seems there is no custom query option on the IBM Netezza connector with the latest version of Power BI Desktop. If you need this feature, I would suggest you add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas forum to improve Power BI on it. Smiley Happy
