I'm on a Windows server and I have installed 2 things:
- MariaDB version 10.5.9
- MariaDB ODBC Driver version 3.1.13
Now I'm using the ODBC Data Source Administrator to create an ODBC connection. So I clicked on 'Add', chose MariaDB ODBC driver and got the following screen in front of me:
I really have no clue what to fill under Server Name, Port, User Name and Password. Especially the Server name seems quiet hard because I don't know where to get it from....

I understand that to reverse engineer a database in Visio you require a ODBC data source name. I created one using the PostgreSQL Unicode(x64) driver.
In the Visio Reverse Engineering Wizard, you can select from Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC Generic Driver, and Oracle Server. The created DSNs show only up under Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Server; when selecting the ODBC Generic Driver, there are no Data sources. When I create one using the New button, it again shows up under both the Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Server.
When I select the DSN from either list, I can enter the User and Password, but get the one of the following errors:
Oracle driver: Warning! You are using a Visio 'Oracle Server' driver to connect with a 'PostgreSQL' DBMS datasource. By using an incompatible driver, it is possible that the catalog information retrieved will be incomplete.
Microsoft SQL driver: Function sequence error
In both cases, I am unable to generate a diagram. Any thoughts?
The "Setup" button next to the installed Visio drivers allows you to select the ODBC drivers to use. If no ODBC driver is selected, all DSNs are displayed; if specific ODBC drivers are selected, only those DSNs which use that specific driver will be displayed.
In my case, the Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Server Visio drivers did not specify any ODBC drivers to use so all DSNs were displayed.
On the other hand, the ODBC Generic Driver had the PostgreSQL ANSI drivers selected which resulted in my DSN using the PostgreSQL Unicode driver NOT to be displayed. Clicking on the Setup button and adding a checkmark to the PostgreSQL Unicode drivers made the DSN available for selection and the Visio was able to reverse-engineer the database.

The Goal
I need to get data from a MongoDB updated every 15 minutes to use to build into a PowerBI report.
The Gear
I am connected from my windows machine via ssh to an RHEL server (server a). This server is running powerbi connector (SQLD) which is connected to my MongoDB that is running on a different server (server b). I'm also running MySQL on server b. My powerBI connector is installed on server b.
Exactly where I'm at
I am using the steps listed here (and all the associated pages) and have tried everything listed short of writing a config file, as the fact that things are working on mongosqld's end makes me think I don't need it... and if I can't get it working manually, having a config file won't exactly help.
https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/connect/powerbi/
Using:
mongosqld --mongo-uri="mongodb://10.xxx.xxx.xx" --auth --mongo-username="ThisGuy" --mongo-password="test"
I successfully map the schema and show an active connection in the command window. I can also access my database from compass using an authorization enabled URL.
When I set up an ODBC connector I use the IP of server a, the user and password from my url, and port 3307. Nothing shows up in the dropdown, when I click 'test' I get the following message:
Connection Failed
[MongoDB][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server4 on '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' (10060)
I have also tried 3306, 27017, and 27015. Just to be safe I also added firewall rules for all traffic on these ports. I've tried this many times, including (just for the hell of it, and I'm kind of new to this stuff) the ip of server b, the ip of my machine, the credentials for MySQL, basically any combination of these things that I can think of.
In powerBI, my odbc driver shows up, and when selected in the dropdown, it asks for a username and password. I have tried both mongo credentials and MySQL. Not sure which I should be using?
regardless, I get the following error inside PowerBI:
Details: "ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' (10061)
ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' (10061)"
Thoughts
I don't control either server, although I have root access, being new to this tech and company I am wary of screwing anything up that a co-worker will have to fix. I read in a different SO thread that maybe I need to downgrade the version of MySQL that is running on the server and that it could fix the problem, but I don't think that it will actually help and am afraid I might screw up something else on the server if I do this:
The C Authentication plugin was developed against MySQL 5.7.18 Community Edition (64-bit), and tested with MySQL 5.7.18 Community Edition and the latest version of MongoDB Connector for BI. The plugin is not compatible with MySQL Server or Connector/ODBC driver version 8 and later.
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/219550/access-denied-when-connecting-to-mongosqld-with-mysql
Maybe the problem is that server B is listening to server a on port 3307, and that there is another unknown port (not mentioned above) that my ODBC driver must be listening to? I'm not sure how to test for this when you get a step away like this.
So that's it. I'm really stuck and would love some help, I am going to try the downgrade tomorrow if nothing else shakes loose and will keep this thread updated.
Thank you for reading
Can you guide me about the connection between mongodb and power bi through ODBC driver. I have connection between them. but i got unexpected errors like:
"OLE DB or ODBC error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E4E." , "OLE DB
or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] ODBC: ERROR [42S22] [MySQL][ODBC
1.4(w) Driver][mysqld-5.7.12 mongosqld v2.14.3]Unknown column 'COD' in 'field list'."
and
"DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [08S01] [MYSQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver Lost
conection to MySQL server at 'waiting for initial communication
packet', system error: 10060".
Can you tell me where the problem and how can I overcome on it?
I've had the same problem, try to go over the below steps and take a look at my advice under the fourth point (4).
Install mongosqld on your server based on your OS (first prerequisites).
LunchBI connector:
a) Make logs folder and mongosqld.log file in it.
b) Setup mongosqld.conf (IP:<your_server_ip>, PORT:3307)
Install mongosqld as a System Service link
Create a system DSN on your computer based on your OS, link.
Hint: On Windows (in ODBC data source) try to make both ANSI and UNICODE
connectors and do not forget to select a database in the dropdown menu.*
e.g. connect to Mongo via PowerBI via ODBC
a) Select a connector
b) Select the database, that you have selected in the previous dropdown menu.
For more information follow the official guide
you have to install mongosqld on your server and configure the .yalm file.
Inside it you have to uptade 'bind ip' field, by adding the remote ip.
I'm trying to setup eclipse to work with JDBC. I have installed the Oracle express database, and started it. Connecting to the database through the SQL command line works.
When I try to setup the connection in eclipse, and I press "Test Connection", I get a "Ping failed" error message. I think I'm using the correct JDBC version (11.2.0.2, version number found from SQL command line window), downloaded from here. The service name is set to xe and the host is set to localhost, port to 1521. The username and password are the same that I use in the SQL command line.
Any idea what the problem is? I'm on Linux, if relevant.
I currently have a Macro which is connecting to a sybase database using ODBC. It's making the connection by running the following:
Set conX = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("Connection1", , True, strConn)
where strConn = "ODBC;DSN=Server_Name;APP=Daily Task;DB=db_name;UID=uname;PWD=pwd;"
The problem I am having is that this connection is working for some Server_Name's but not others. When it doesn't work I get a Error "3146 - ODBC--call failed".
What I don't understand is where it is pulling the server details from. So for example, when using embarcadero rapid to connect to a sybase database, it will use the sql.ini file to pull the server connection details based on the server_name.
I have checked and all the Sybase Servers I am testing are in the sql.ini file and my env variables are pointing to the correct sybase version. I've checked ODBC and it is only picking up a SQL Server driver.
Can anyone please explain how ODBC pulls the server name connection details? I don't understand why it works for some server names, but not others (FYI, I have tested the uname and pwd is rapid to make sure it is correct).
Any information would be much appreciated.
So, the issue was that I was looking at my odbc connections under control panel. I should mention that I am on windows 7. What I had to do was update my ODBC connection details here:
C:/Windows/SYSWOW64/odbcad32.exe
--This is for 32bit!
This had some connections set up which is why I could connect to some servers but not all of them.
