Description

No description available [API reference]

Instructions

Apache Derby network server from Power BI, SQL Server Linked Server via ZappySys Data Gateway, Crystal Reports, SSRS, Azure Data Factory, and other ODBC tools.

  1. Start Network Server (default port 1527) or use an existing one.
  2. Create a database user if authentication is on. Lab often uses a simple user/password.
  3. Seed Driver class as ClientDriver (SPI can also load EmbeddedDriver).
  4. After Finish, replace the host (e.g. MyHostName) and database name (e.g. MyDatabase) on the DSN Main UI.
  5. Finish the wizard. Then click Test Connection on the DSN Main UI (the wizard does not run Test Connection).
  6. Done. You can query from C#, Python, PowerShell, and ODBC apps.
