Error: Netezza database names with underscores give an error with an ODBC connection.

Hi,

I tried to connect from desktop to Netezza with the ODBC connections.

The name om my datebase is DEV_VFS_DM. The Power BI error I receive is: 

Power BI Query errorPower BI Query error

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently the undescores in the name are not processed well.

Connecting to database QUERYHISTDB worked fine !

This is resolved with May 16 Update- Now you should be able to connect with NZ DB's with Underscore

Hi,

 

I downloaded yesterday the latest version and the connection via ODBC to Netezza works fine now.

No other problems.
