Custom Connector - Get Data Types Identifiers from ODBC

‎09-14-2023 03:20 AM

Hello, community!

 

I'm currently working on a custom connector using Power Query SDK, addressing some type-mapping issues along the way.

My connector relies on ODBC, and I'm keen to enhance and resolve specific type-mapping inconsistencies between the ODBC

driver and Power BI.

In particular, I'm interested in acquiring the ODBC driver's type mappings, complete with their identifiers, directly within my Power Query code. Essentially, I want to debug or print the types returned by the driver.

 

While browsing through your GitHub repository, I came across the Snowflake example. It seems to achieve something similar to what I need. Is there a way I can obtain the connector's type IDs and possibly print them within my Power Query code?

Any guidance on how I can achieve this?
