I am trying to connect to an iHistorian Database. This database is a product of GE and it records process control information. Anyway, this database is configured with OLE DB drivers. I am curious if there is a way to connect to this database with R. Currently, R has a package called RODBC, but this package only connects to ODBC. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

I'm struggling to connect my shiny application to one of the database we use in our company. I've succesfully connected to Azure / Mongo / SQL Server databases but now I've got a SAP SQL Anywhere 17 database to connect to.
Not surprisingly there's no specific connection to that database provided in the R Drivers (https://www.rstudio.com/products/drivers/).
Now I can solve this in two ways I believe, our IT department is convinced that a generic ODBC connection should work, or I have to get the specific SQL Anywhere drivers installed on my shiny app somehow.
For both solutions I can't find much online. If I search for generic ODBC connection the recommendations go to FreeTDS which is in the RODBC package, which then might not work together with Pool (according to what I've read).
Searching how to install specific drivers on a shiny application is also not bringing me much.
Try using
options(java.parameters="-Xmx8g")
library(RJDBC)
drv <- JDBC("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver", "drivers/jdbc/mssql-jdbc-8.4.1.jre8.jar", identifier.quote="`")
processingStart = Sys.time()
conn <- dbConnect(drv,
"jdbc:sqlserver://SERVER_NAME;databaseName=DATABASE_NAME",
user = "USER_NAME",
"PASSWORD"
)
We are having cloudera impala as data source. It is required to build a new custom ODBC driver (we need to
use our custom rest API,code logic in the new obdc driver) to read data from impala.
That custom obdc driver needs to be recognised by tableau as custom driver for impala connectivity.
As we are totally new to driver porgramming, we need guidance in the following

I need a method by which I can connect OBIEE 11g and NoSQL. I need to transfer the connects in NoSQL to OBIEE reports. NoSQL is a software that is used for storage of data using key and values. How do I go about this? How do I connect the database?
For MongoDB and Cassandra, there are commercial ODBC drivers available from Oracle's connectivity partner: https://blogs.datadirect.com/2015/05/oracle-obiee-odi-meet-nosql-mongodb.html
I want to connect Tableau software to my cassandra database. Note that i'm using tableau in windows7 and cassandra in ubuntu (Virtual machine).
For this i've installed the Cassandra ODBC (and Simba cassandra ODBC but i got the same problem). I got a connexion succes and i found my keyspace but not my tables !!!!!!
But no table in "cim" keyspace !!
Note that in my keyspace "cim" i have 3 tables that i can request with any problem in cassandra. Is there something i should do before creating the ODBC driver ???
Thank you for your help
The ODBC driver as it stands currently uses thrift so won't be able to communicate directly with cql3 to display the table names. Describe commands also won't work. However, you should still be able to select data from your tables. Updates to the ODBC driver should provide cql3 support at some point in the new year.
Update Simba ODBC driver for Cassandra supports CQL3 and solves your problem.

I'm trying to connect OBIEE to Impala. Where I try my test, I encounter a problem that I can't
resolved,here comes my steps:
download the Cloudera latest Impala ODBC driver for windows,and import metadata from impala,I can finally successfully see data in Admin Tools like this:
upload the rpd file to the server,and download cloudera impala odbc driver for linux,and configure it,in the end ,I can do it like this which shows I have configure the driver successfully:
I try to create new analysis through 【Create Direct Database Request】 to test weather I can successfully connect Impala, but I can never connect it due to the reason like this,I can never fingure out why:
Is there anybody successfully do it or tell me how I can resolve the problem? Thanks!
I recommend connecting directly to Hive instead. According to Oracle's documentation Impala connectivity is not directly supported. OBIEE is built connect to Hive and Impala is not referenced:
