Connecting to BigQuery using ODBC in Qlikview - odbc

I have the latest BigQuery ODBC driver installed and setup according to the instruction here
I was able to follow the tutorial and access the data in MS Excel.
However in Qlikview I was unable to see any tables when using the same ODBC connection.

The ODBC driver is functional. What I didn't notice was that I didn't have any dataset created under the BigQuery test project, hence no table was available.
It is still possible to utilize QlikView to access the public data set by adding the query strings in the scripts after the ODBC CONNECT line.

Using SQL Server db as data source for R Shiny application

I'm new to R Shiny and I would like to host my application on shinyapps.io. My app.R file gets data from my local SQL database, then I use R to manipulate that data for my R Shiny app. When I upload to shinyapps.io I get error code 1 that seems rather ambiguous based on my google searches.
The current workflow for my project is:
Scrape an API and clean/manipulate the data in R.
Using R and the dbWriteTable function, write the cleaned data into my local SQL Express db. Some data is overwritten, some is appended.
Steps 1 & 2 are automated to run either hourly or daily using Windows task scheduler.
Access the data in SQL and store in R for my app using the following code for the various SQL tables. I am not using any SQL queries in R to manipulate the SQL data before it is stored in R.
con <- dbConnect(odbc(),
Driver = "SQL Server",
Server = "laptop\\SQLEXPRESS",
Database = "myDB",
Trusted_Connection = "True")
tradingLog <- as.data.frame(tbl(con,"tradingLog"))
The above code is being repeated within the app.R shiny script for different SQL tables to supply the data for my app, but my novice understanding is that having the local database will be a problem when I want to host the app on shiny apps online. The application is fully functional running on my computer but breaks when on shinyapps, so that has led me to believe I would need to host my SQL database.
To accomplish this I think I can use Google Cloud, which I have found some resources on how to import my SQL database. If Google Cloud is a viable option, I would prefer to use it for the project because my application is using RgoogleMaps so I already setup the Google Cloud account. From here I assume I can change the driver and server settings in the dbConnect code above and this may address the shinyapps problem?
Any advice or direction on how address the problem would be appreciated. My goal is to be able to share this project with team members via shinyapps.io while accessing the SQL database I have setup that has the various scraping tasks scheduled which feed new data into the database.

Is it possible to connect Power BI to a kdb database via ODBC driver?

I am unable to connect to a kdb+ database in Power BI via the qodbc3 ODBC driver. After selecting Get Data -> Other -> ODBC and selecting a qodbc driver connection that I know works (used without issue by Tableau) I get stuck at the navigator window and there is no option to load a table.
My concern is that kdb driver is not compatible with Power BI which is causing Power BI to not be able to find database tables.
Although this option was not available back when the question was asked, today's solution to this problem would be to use the Simba ODBC Driver:
https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/odbc-simba/
The primary target for this release is support for:
Tableau (certification compliance included)
PowerBI
Excel

Is there a way to connect ODBC datasource in Knexjs

I have my windows 10 pc with ODBC datasource as my_odbc
This will connect to my remote informix server.
So for I am using this odbc for my local as well as php website development.
I want to use Adonis Js which uses knex.
How to give database connection properties, as to that of mysql, pg, mssql etc.
using odbc data source.
my connection is "DSN=my_odbc;UID=vijayan;PWD=vijayan;"
No.
But you can write your own ODBC client. There was some initial work done for it, but nowadays all new dialects should be added as separate npm modules like described in CONTRIBUTING.md https://github.com/tgriesser/knex/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#i-would-like-to-add-support-for-new-dialect-to-knex-is-it-possible
(I'm not going to copy-paste that boilerplate code here, because it is more probable that knex changes and that linked document changes in compared to knex github getting offline)
Initial work that was done for the support is found here: https://github.com/tgriesser/knex/pull/2116

Teradata sample database

I have installed vmware player and added the disk file to it. Teradata studio is already installed in it. Now, I want create a database of good size to perform bulk load types in Teradata.
Where can I get the sample database?
I assume that you are asking about the software part to create an instance of Teradata database. If you have VMware downloaded from Teradata for evaluation purpose, it is already installed and configured. You just have to connect with your Studio.
If you are trying to create a virtual environment on your own, then you need to download the Teradata software and install in machine which will create a database. After installing the software you can configure and connect with Studio.
Teradata Express comes with toy data (Samples database) but only up to version 14. From version 15 it is (oddly) removed.
Your VM-Ware is fully configured. Sart your TD-Studio and connect to it.
From VM-Ware's TD-Studio it is TDPID: localhost od 127.0.0.1 User dbc pass dbc
There are no more sample databases in Teradata Express, but I published several data sets on GitHub, see the blog on Teradata Community

MYOB database Schema

i want to import data from MYOB through odbc connection
i have successfully created the odbc connection and select queries are working fine.
i want to have a look at MYOB database schema so that i can write queries to retrieve data.
how can i get the schema of the MYOB database?
i made this odbc connection in server explorer, the connection has been succeeded but the server explorer cant show me the list of tables/views in the connection.
kindly help me in this regard.
The following links to the developer resource kit. This kit contains a full shcema description.
http://myobaustralia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/myobaustralia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=30548
If the above link expires try this one:
http://myob.com.au/partners/become-a-partner/developers-1258090671897
There are documentations found in the installation folder of the ODBC drivers.
usually found c:\MYOBODBC[xyz]\doc or help.
BTW, you need to have a developer key to enable write access to the MYOB database.
Hope this helps.
