Tableau, need to pull data out of Sybase to merge with SQL Server

All -
I have a critical data source that lives in Sybase that I need to blend with sql server and/or Hadoop Data.
Has anyone successfully connected Sybase to Tableau? I am able to sql query Sybase using dbeaver , but would like to find a way to automate the connection
.
I have tried connecting with the exact same jdbc credentials and it won’t work. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how they got it to work?

Unable to connect to a data base in mongo db from power BI

Getting the following error:
DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 1.0(a) Driver][mysqld-5.7.12 mongosqld v2.6.0-beta3]Unknown database ''
Details:
DataSourceKind=Odbc
DataSourcePath=dsn=DigitalTeam
OdbcErrors=Table
As shown in the image the error arise as i am trying to get the data from Reports collection from test Database. How can I solve this problem?
Per the comment by CodeCaster the most likely scenario of you getting a successful connection but not loading actual data is the fact you may have not selected a db from the dropdown when setting up the ODBC driver
After you setup your connection and port go to the last choice of Database: and select a db in the dropdown from the available list of db's in your environment.
Then when setting up the excel sheet for use of the ODBC data, via the data tab, choose your collection and documents from that collection should load.

I am in need of connecting to DB2 AS/400 database from Oracle Apex.

Is there any feasibility from Oracle to have a connection established to DB2 database so that I can query on DB2 database and generate reports from Oracle Apex?
OR
Is it possible to create a View in Oracle from a remote DB2 database?
OR
What options do i have in order to develop reports in Oracle Apex from the data i have in DB2 database?
(I know, this is an old question and you've already found a workaround. Anyway,) the keyword you might be interested in is gateway. This is Oracle 10g Database Gateway for DB2/400 Installation and User's Guide. I don't know which database you use, but - if 10g is not the one, I hope you'll manage to find the right documentation.
Shortly: after installing the gateway between Oracle and DB2, you'd create a database link. Then, in your Oracle schema, create a view that selects data over that database link from DB2 database. Finally, fetch data in Apex from the view.
As i didn't find a way to directly connect to DB2 from Oracle PL/SQL, i used a work-around. As this is a reporting tool, we are ok to have this tool running with the data which is 1 day off, we did the following:
1) Extract the data required from DB2 database to CSV files. We used a DB2 command which can be run at command line to extract the data into a CSV
2) Then we imported the data into Oracle tables using sqlldr

Failed to retrieve data from the database [Database Vendor Code: 8169]

My 2013 Crystal Report suddenly gave me this error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 8169]
I created a new database connection and changed the connection, and when I click Verify Database it tells me the database is up to date. How can I resolve this issue?
Even though the database connection is okay, your query may be bad, or there is some other database component making the data retrieval fail. Easiest way is to run the query or queries in the Crystal Report in a database client tool. For example, with Oracle, you can use SQL Developer to run the query manually.
SQL Server should have its own client tool as well.

Oracle CDC in Talend

I am trying to setup a CDC in Talend on an Oracle database. I am following the steps as listed here: https://www.talendforge.org/tutorials/tutorial.php?language=english&idTuto=42
However, when i try to establish the CDC in the main DB conneciton, i get a message saying "Database information must be filled to use the cdc!" and the Create Subscriber button is disabled.
What could I be doing differently? I have created two connections pointing to the same database, and have also retrieved the table schema in my main connection.
