Informix PowerBI - powerbi

We have an older version (I think its 9) of informix running on our server that is the backend db for a vendor software. I have an ODBC for it to ms access but now they want to do powerbi stuff. Im finding the odbc is throwing error on certain tables and given that its vendor software, they're less inclined to upgrade the version. Everything I've seen seems to show that Informix doesn't like slaves that aren't informix and cloud isn't an option. Any suggestions for getting this data on a different db other than pulling csv files?

How can I resolve this fatal error in Power BI whenerver I try to add a new data source?

I am working on a Power BI project.
I started using a MySQL database that had a small amount of data. I managed myself to create the schema and a very basic dashboard.
After this, I tried to change the data source for a new mysql database with a much bigger amount of data in order to see its performance. The tables are the same. The only thing that changes is the name of the data base and the name of the schema.
The thing is that whenever I try to do this an error always pops up:
Fatal error encountered during data read.
Microsoft.Mashup.Evaluator.Interface.ErrorException
True
I dont know why this happend. I tried to follow some suggestions I saw in the official forums but they didnt worked for me.
I also deleted the cache but nothing happens ( File-> Options and Settings-> Options-> Data Load -> clear cache)
If you could give me any suggestions, they would be appreciated because I am new to power bi and to be honest I am quite lost with this error.
Are you using mysql with hosted environment? like AWS RDS database ?
Previously I had similar issue getting fatal error when import data via mysql view.
The issue is the processer that used in mysql database was not powerful to run on 100% cpu usage.
So I had to upgrade processer in to powerful and efficient one. And did some changes to query to be efficient.
In your case try to add indexing to the tables and if you are using hosted mysql connection try upgrade processor that can work with 100% usage.

Can SQL Developer be used with the Athena JDBC Driver

I'm trying to connect to Athena using the JDBC drivers provided by Amazon, and using SQL Developer as the client. So far, I haven't had any luck with Java 1.8.181 and AthenaJDBC42-2.0.7.jar Has anyone had any luck on this front? Before I try mixing up which versions of Java, JDBC driver, and/or SQL Developer, I thought I'd at least ask if anyone has been successful using SQL Developer with the Athena JDBC drivers.
No.
SQL Developer doesn't allow for just any JDBC driver to be added...we restrict connectivity to the platforms we officially support for database migrations to the Oracle Database platform.
Athena doesn't have migration support, hence the lack of connectivity. If you need assistance with a migration, please send me a note.

issue where In SAS Deployment wizard SAS ODBC Driver for Web infrastructure platform Data Server is not downloaded

What if while installing SAS, I face issue where In SAS Deployment wizard SAS ODBC Driver for Web infrastructure platform Data Server is not downloaded , it is showing completed with error. What would happen if SAS Deployment wizard SAS ODBC Driver for Web infrastructure platform Data Server is showing this error. Can we code/program without the need of this fucntionality?
You are best contacting SAS support for a specific question like this - it is not a programming question, but rather a SAS administrator question.

DSS cannot connect to different Oracle database versions

I'm using the WSO2 Data Services (3.5.1) Server to connect with some Oracle 12c databases. However, to support the legacy, I also need to connect to different versions like 10g and 8i.
There's the problem, using the ojdbc14.jar driver, the datasources:
8i works
10g works
12c gives: ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol (due the changes of SHA algorithm in the version 12)
Using the ojdbc6.jar or ojdbc7.jar:
10g works
12c works
8i gives:
org.wso2.carbon.ndatasource.common.DataSourceException: Error establishing data source connection: 4
...

Searching for solution, I've found some alternative, by setting the parameter SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION=8 in the oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file in the 12c database and using ojdbc14.jar, but due infrastructure restrictions, this approach is not acceptable.
I would like to know if there's a way to use simultaneously both drivers in DSS, maybe specifying some custom Java class extending the different OracleDriver class, and configuring the DSS class loader... or some different solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is a known backward compatibility limitation1, 2 in oracle drivers and there's no solution in wso2 DSS as a workaround. This has clearly stated in Oracle version compatibility matrix.
Have you tried different versions of older ojdbc drivers which might work on both oracle versions(eg: oracle driver 10). Of cause not all the features might work, but you might end up with connecting to all the databases and execute basics without issue.

How to profile embed firebird database

Did I make wrong to use firebird database I don't know. It has lot's of good futures but I can't figure out why my query (stored procedure) didn't work.
Is there any profiler/monitoring tool for firebird?
Firebird database is working stand alone so it is embeded db. And It doesn't allow to connect with 2 users. If there is a profiler I wonder how it will connect while I'm executing my queries.
IBExpert and Database Worbench have stored procedure debugger
There is also many monitoring tools http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq95/
I advice you to install server version if you want to have more than 2 users
