Connecting to 4D database using Microstrategy - microstrategy

Is there a way to connect to a 4D database from Microstrategy?
Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution to this? The problem is all the 4D Devs live on the 4D forums and don't visit SO so much. Having a quick look at a Microstrategy it should be able to connect to 4D as a SQL source-you would need the 4D SQL drivers in your Microstrategy (sorry don't know Microstrategy at all) and the developer of the 4D system will have had to allow an SQL Connection on their system(this is just a setting on the server) In my previous role we used a product called Phocas(similar to Microstrategy) and that was consuming data from 4D and from Sage and others too.. Hope that helps!

Power BI and MongoDB - What is the best setup?

Currently i have a database with almost 50kk record and an collection with almost 20kk that i need to connect with PowerBI, I tried using the MongoDB BI Connector, but it is impossible slow, are anything I can do to speed things up? Or should i move to something more robust to help my BI Team?
Need to identify the performance bottle neck in detail.
If data import is slow, then Extract the data from Mongo DB into a file. (as the data volume that you specified seems to be low - in thousands). Then import the file into Power BI model.
If the slicing and dicing is slower after data import into PowerBI, then tuning the model is required.
Thanks.
Anything going through ODBC (I am guessing that's what you are using), is going to be slow. One way to do this is to use r from Power BI to get the data from MongoDB. The following link gives details about how you can connect to MongoDB from r:
Connect R to remote mongoDB with rmongodb
Once your query is ready, you can choose "R Script" from the "Get data" window to use the r query. Hope this helps.

X architecture db2 to connect 2 databases

I am just a beginner and I was trying to learn how to use the x Architecture to connect two db2 databases. I know some stuff about XA like, it acts like an API between different databases. I was wondering if someone has some resource with all the xa db2 commands and I could try them out. I think I cannot use command line for xa, I need to write an SQL application. Please, correct me where I am wrong. Thank you. Every answer is appreciated.
Why are you not using db2 federation?

PostgreSQL data comparsion tool

I am looking for a tool/command which can compare data between two PostgreSQL databases. The reason to do this is to have some external verification that the SQL script responsible for data migration from one PostgreSQL database to the other have been written correctly.
Any pointers would be appreciated
regards
Sameer
EMS makes a tool which can do this.

The PostgreSQL site has a nice Software catalogue. Peruse the Administration/development tools category.
