ODBC Connection to Snowflake Databse

Hello Experts,

 

While creating ODBC connection to snowflake DB , I am getting below error:

CURLerror (curl_easy_perform() failed) - code=6 msg='Couldn't resolve host name' osCode=2 osMsg='No such file or directory'.
Is it possible to connect snowflake DB via ODBC connertor available in Power BI Desktop?

Reason to connect snowflake DB via ODBC is that I want an option to write SQL statement which is not directly available in Snowflake connector.

 

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently. You can post your new idea here https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas , to improve the Power BI.

     

    It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

      Hi v-xicai 

       

      Thank you for the response. 

       

      I found workaround to write Custom SQL against Snowflake Database by creating ODBC connection.

       

      Thanks
