I have installed simba Google BigQuery ODBC driver (V2.0) and would like to connect publicdata (Sample dataset) to third party application through ODBC driver. I tried to create DSN. In catalog(project) drop down box, Publicdata project does not displayed. Anybody know the reason?
Is it needed to activate billing account to use public dataset?
Is not necessary have a Billing account, if you try the CData trial version, you can access to each public database. Its problem is that is very expensive, so Simba would be a great solution. Instead, I´ve continued with the same question on my mind.

Hello I am very new to D3 Pick. Could you recommend some info on how to get access to a data file with possibly ODBC or SQL query? My IT department says ODBC is not possible but I think there must be a way. Maybe creating a new pointer file to be set up for ODBC? I'm still learning about the structure of D3 and file system. I am more familiar using MS SQL Server so any clarification is appreciated
Rocket Software does provide an ODBC server for D3. Compatibility depends on the version of D3 you are running. The documentation for D3 can be found here: https://www3.rocketsoftware.com/rocketd3/support/documentation/index.jsp
If you have an active support contract with Rocket you can also reach out to their support for assistance in getting ODBC server running, otherwise I would also recommend signing up for their forum and posting there as their support also monitors it as well.
You may also want to look MVS Toolkit which can be used to generate SOAP and REST apis as another method of accessing your D3 data remotely.
Pick d3 has a proprietary odbc that gives access to its own api to access data from a windows environment.
This is the url with the index of the access api
I have a application written long time back using the MS Access as the configuration database. It was using OLEDB Provider (Jet Engine) for retrieving data from the configuration DB.
I intended to replace MS Access Db lightweight RDBMS which requires no additional installation requirements. Thinking of using SQLLite which seems to suite my needs. Wanted to check if anyone have invovled in migrating the data from MSAccess to SQL Lite. Is there an easy way to migrate the schema and data?
You can quite much transfer data and schema if you setup the ODBC driver for sqlite.
Once done then you can run append queries in Access to export to the sqlite database.
Of course with sqlite you don't get or have forms, reports or a coding language. So, you have to replace that part of Access with some other kind of development platform.
So, you need to get a ODBC driver for sqlite.
This one works well:

So, once you done the above, then you can link from access to sql lite. You can even edit data with Access forms, or even run access reports against data in sqlite.
I'm new to Teradata SQL Assistant and I need to use it for work.
I've been looking for some example database to do some practice on but is quite lost. Can somebody provide guideline and help to use a sample database available on the web?
You can download Teradata Express for VMware Player from Teradata Downloads which will allow you to run Teradata in a virtual machine on your desktop. Alternatively, you can also use a free trial of Teradata on AWS Marketplace.
All my app's data is stored in Firebase. I'd like to build some reports with my data that aren't necessarily accessible through the web/app front-end. I don't see any good options for this in the Console. Has anyone found a good reporting solution for Firebase? I am looking for something like Crystal Reports or just an easy way to render Firebase data based on a query.
Thanks,
Rima.
I found a issue with the solution above. Firebase stores its data in JSON format, which cannot be consumed by solutions such as BigQuery, because it is expecting JSONL format and you get an error. It beats me why Google are not providing an elegant solution when integrating between two of their products, but I believe they have something planned.
Firebase does not have any "built-in" reporting tools other than the defined querying APIs.
If your database is small, you dump the JSON from the Firebase Console and then manually run analysis on it.
If your database is large, you can upgrade to the Flame or Blaze plans and sign up for daily private backups. This will create a JSON dump in the background without affecting your database performance and store it in the cloud. You could then use tools to grab that dump and perform advanced reporting on it.
1) Via BigQuery
Official Docs:
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/loading-data-cloud-firestore
Codelab Walkthrough:
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/modern-data-pipeline-firestore-bigquery-dataflow-templates/index.html?index=..%2F..next17
Connect whatever BI tool you want to BigQuery. Google Data Studio is
free as is Metabase. Almost every Enterprise BI tool has a BigQuery
connector.
From https://www.reddit.com/r/Firebase/comments/arps42/reportingbi_tools_and_firestore/
2) Via "Custom Data Sources"
Cloud Firestore (and probably Realtime-Db) has a RESTFUL API. Many popular reporting tools support "custom", "restful", "ajax", and/or "HTTP" sources.
You should search your favorite reporting tools, and internet search accordingly.
I can see that Stimulsoft seems to support custom/RESTFUL sources. A PowerBI data connector seems to provide a lot of latitude - https://github.com/Microsoft/DataConnectors
Of course, this means that you need to create several data sources, and they probably won't be as optimised as a built-in source type. For example, the report engine probably won't know how to translate any front-end UI filters into custom-source query filters. Perhaps some platforms support the ability for you to create your own adaptors.
We have a core application that allows for ODBC connections. Currently I use MS Excel or Access to create reports. Many times per week I print them to .PDFs and email them to managers (not all managers have access to our core application). We have Google Apps and I was wondering if anyone had any experience connecting ODBC with GAS. I like to think my process could be better automated.
I also have databases that I have made available to users through Excel for dynamic reporting. I was wondering if I could migrate that to the GAS environment, also.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
You could use JDBC to connect to the underlying database and then create your reports and other data manipulation in GAS.
