clickhouse custom connector
Hello,
I'm in the same situation. ClickHouse ODBC driver doesn't work for me, I downloaded, installed and tried variouse versions of it avaliable here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc/releases, but with no luck.
That's why I developed my own connector using Visual Studio and the SDK for custom connector development. So, now I can connect to ClickHouse successfully, but visually it's an ugly connector. I want to make a GUI for my connector to ask for the connection parameters and display the database tables for the user to select. Something like the connectors for MySQL and other databases that already have that.
So, how do I achieve this? Is it possible? Can a GUI be programmed in M? Or do I have to program it in another programming language and then encapsulate the connector code in it?
I have another question regarding this issue, you can look at it and answer me there instead: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Graphical-User-Interface-for-Power-BI-Custom-Connector/m-p/793483
Any tips, tricks, workarounds or actual solutions regarding these issues will be much appreciated.
Hope I hear some feedback soon.
Greetings from Venezuela.
