Problem to connect Sybase ODBC driver

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate Qlik Sense report to PowerBI and I have a problem to access to the ODBC Driver.

I use the 64 bit driver provided by Devart. This driver works well with Qlik Sense.

I've no problem to connect to the ODBC source but, I see the databases, tables but when PowerBI tried to browse the content of a table I have the following message :

 

 

DataSource.Error : ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Devart][ODBC][Adaptive Server Enterprise]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FOR'.

Détails :
    DataSourceKind=Odbc
    DataSourcePath=dsn=Topaze64
    OdbcErrors=[Table]

 

 

Here is what I have in the Advanced editor :

 

 

let
    Source = Odbc.DataSource("dsn=Topaze64", [HierarchicalNavigation=true]),
    Diamant_Database = Source{[Name="Diamant",Kind="Database"]}[Data],
    dbo_Schema = Diamant_Database{[Name="dbo",Kind="Schema"]}[Data],
    SAM_SAVMAB_Table = dbo_Schema{[Name="SAM_SAVMAB",Kind="Table"]}[Data]
in
    SAM_SAVMAB_Table

 

 

This is mandatory for me to go further in my migration.

Thank you very much for you help.

Regards,
Thierry

Dear,

 

Try to connect the Sybase directory from Power BI and access the tables?? The Sybase client is instead?

 

Regards,

 

I did not use the sybase client because I seems not to work with my sybase ASE database.

So I try to use direct ODBC driver. I have the 32bits version with works with PowerBI 32bits. Because I wanted to use PowerBI 64bits (the 32bits version crashes all the time...) I tried the 64bits driver version provided by Devart.

This driver works well with QlikSense but not with powerBI. I can browse databases and table name but not table content.
