OdbcQuery/FoldingWarning Issue

Hi Guys, I'm trying to develop a data connector with PowerBI SDK, when loading a boolean column data via ODBC driver, the PowerBI reports an error like this:

But the DataSource SQLGetTypeInfo reports support BIT type, I'm not sure what happens with PowerBI, Is it MUST support CONVERT BIT to Numeric?

 

Thanks

@ethan,

 

You may try using CAST to convert data type in SQL statement.
