Hi everyone,
we try to connect to AWS Athena from PowerBI via their ODBC driver. We encountered a problem with queries that have a with statement, i.e.
with a1 as ( select * from table1 ) select * from a1;
We get the error message: We encountered an error while trying to connect. Details: "This native database query isn't currently supported."
Queries without with statement work fine, also with queries work with a JDBC driver. I couldn't find any problems while checking logs of the ODBC Athena driver, it looks to me like a problem of PowerBI.
Any idea what could causing this and how to solve it? Nesting the queries gets quite ugly.
Thanks for any help.
Best,
Philipp
@pejay,
As you test, it doesn't support CTE query in this case, you would need to remove with statement in the query to connect to your data source.

Well, I wanted to know why it doesn't support CTE queries, it seems to be a problem of PowerBI, not Athena ODBC. JFYI: Another workaround is to use Redshift Spectrum.
