I want to connect to HP Vertica from Tableau so that I can visualize directly from Tableau.
Can t find the ODBC driver for Vertica database 6.1
Says coming soon but nothing on the downloads tab since November 2014
MAC:
I found the 6.1 driver at https://vertica.hpwsportal.com/catalog.html#/Product/%7B%22productId%22%3A%22762%22%7D/Show
--- list of recommended drivers for Vertica versions can be found at http://kb.tableausoftware.com/articles/knowledgebase/drivers-vertica
I put the driver in the location /Library/ODBC/
Download TableauDrivers.dmg from http://www.tableausoftware.com/support/drivers
DONOT forget to rename the folder vertica-odbc-6.1.3-0.64.mac to vertica
Use the Tableau Vertica Configure.pkg to configure
Restart
Add server connection details in tableau
Viola!

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
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.

I have connected SAP BO to Hive using a ODBC driver.
I am able to see the database and table in hive. but when i fetch data from hive it gives error as
org.apache.hadoop.hìve.serde2.SerDeExceptio SerDe com,bizohive.serde.csv.CSVSerde does not exist
Can ayone suggest where i should put csvserde jar in SAP BO
The serde should be in the HIVE lib directory. Try copying it there, and reconnecting to Hive from BO.
I'm trying to find out how to connect to a FileMaker Pro 9 Database file (*.fp7) with ODBC. I followed the manual and installed the ODBC driver which now shows up as "DataDirect 32bit SequeLink 5.5".
However I can't find any instructions on how to connect to the Database File. I want to use LibreOffice Base (and maybe later on create my own app) to access Filemaker tables.
Any help would be appreciated! (Please note that I'm new to Filemaker as well as to ODBC)
You need the ActualTech software to connect to the database: http://www.actualtech.com/scenario_ess_setup.php
I don't know if it is down compatible with FileMaker 9 but you might want to upgrade to FileMaker 13 at this point.
They guys at ActualTech are also very helpful.
Once you installed it, you can set up a DSN in the ODBC manager.
I'm attempting connect my Sequel Pro database to R. In Joseph Adler's "R in a Nutshell"- page 164- he lists various ODBC drivers for different databases, but I can't find one for Sequel Pro. Any help on which driver to use would be greatly appreciated.
I don't have a Sequel Pro database, but here are the steps you would likely follow:
Install the proper ODBC driver (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/)
Add the database as an ODBC DSN. This is available in Windows in Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC). (Enable by right-clicking on Start Menu, "Customize...", and select one of the display options under "System administrative tools".) Add the database under "File DSN" (most likely) or "User DSN".
Use R to open ODBC connection:
library(RODBC)
dsn <- "this is the dsn assigned in the windows tool"
db <- odbcConnect(dsn)
sqlQuery(db, "select * from whatever")
sqlSave(db, df)
Data in df. Sorry I can't give you the exact process, but I don't have the necessary data.
