Onpremise direct query surprise

I'm tryng to make the onpremise direct query work for mySQL / maria DB. I have successfully set up a deployed SQL server direct query report to reporting server. It just works fine and I could see the connection string if i click on the manage tab in reporting server.  As you can see below, the data source is enabled and visible at the righ pane. All looks good for SQL server.

Now coming to Maria DB /SQL server. To my surprise, the direct query using maria DB works just fine in desktop, but it doesnt work on pn-premise server. After teh deployment, if I come to manage tab, the data source tab is grayed out.. Why PBI behaves differently for mariadb whereas it just works fine for SQL server? Maria DB screen print below.

Hi @jimsweb ,

 

Please check if using CData ODBC Driver for MariaDB could work in your scenario:

Do you have the same issue if you import data from maria ? 

How do publish your report in Report Server ? 

hello, yes, i do have the same issue if i import the data.  I just figured out a way to overcome this issue.. Just use ODBC connection instead of the direct connectivity from PBI. obviously, PBI doesnt play nice with opensource databases.. 😉
