Hello all my dear friends here,
I´m currenly having an issue that In one specific report I need to have real data.
I'm currently using Gateway + ODBC + Firebird Database (https://firebirdsql.org/ - Open source database).
How can I make this work? I´ve used for year those technologies to do refresh in specific times, however, I will need real data in this specific report.
Best Regards!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately, not all data sources support real time.
You can reference this to see if it is supported: Power BI data sources - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
What I would suggest doing is to find a way to push the data from your Firebird database to the power of BI service streaming API.
@GilbertQ Thank you. I´ve build an service to update the dataset 5 - 5 minutes and worked perfectly. Best Regards,
Hi Bruno
I´m having problems to connect to an external Firebird database. Can you please share the solution you used to build this 5 minutes update service?
Kind regards
Cleber
