ODBC Driver for Microsoft Power BI XMLA

Build 25.0.9434

Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection settings for this provider.


PropertyDescription
BatchSizeSpecifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch submitted during batch operations. To submit the entire batch as a single request, set BatchSize to 0 .
ConnectOnOpenSpecifies whether the provider establishes a connection to Microsoft Power BI XMLA immediately upon opening the connection. Set ConnectOnOpen to True if immediate connectivity verification is necessary.
CustomHeadersSpecifies additional HTTP headers to append to the request headers created from other properties, such as ContentType and From. Use this property to customize requests for specialized or nonstandard APIs.
DefaultDomainThis property is used for the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
EnableForeignKeyDetectionWhether to detect the foreign keys in ODBC.
ExposeMemberKeysEnable this property to convert each level into a measure, which is a numeric value that supports calculations like summing, averaging, and other aggregations. By default, levels remain as String types, so they do not support direct calculations.
ExpressionInDescriptionEnable this property to append measure expressions in the descriptions of measure columns. By default, the provider includes only remarks in measure column descriptions.
ExtraPropertiesSpecifies additional properties to include in each MDX request sent to Microsoft Power BI XMLA. Use this property to customize the PropertiesList of the XMLA request when UseMDX is enabled.
IncludeDualTableSet this property to mock the Oracle DUAL table for better compatibility with Oracle database.
LimitKeySizeThe maximum length of a primary key column.
MapBigintToVarcharThis property controls whether or not the bigint type maps to SQL_VARCHAR instead of SQL_BIGINT. This property is false by default.
MapToIntThis property controls whether or not the long type maps to SQL_INTEGER instead of SQL_BIGINT. This property is false by default.
MapToLongVarcharThis property controls whether or not a column is returned as SQL_LONGVARCHAR.
MapToWVarcharThis property controls whether or not string types map to SQL_WVARCHAR instead of SQL_VARCHAR. This property is set by default.
MaximumColumnSizeThe maximum column size.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases., to be used only when our Support team advises it, to address specific issues. See Remarks for details.
ResponseRowLimitSpecifies the maximum number of response rows allowed before triggering an error. Use 0 to remove the limit entirely. This property helps prevent performance issues caused by large queries.
RTKSpecifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. This property is only required in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key.
ShowHiddenEntitiesEnable this property to include hidden dimensions, measures, and levels in query results. By default, the provider excludes entities marked as hidden.
SplitMeasuresEnable this property to split the Measures table into individual tables and distribute measures into their respective dimension tables.
SplitMeasuresOnSpecifies the priority for organizing measures into tables when SplitMeasures is enabled. Provide a comma-delimited list of attributes to determine the sorting order.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
UpperCaseIdentifiersThis property reports all identifiers in uppercase. This is the default for Oracle databases and thus allows better integration with Oracle tools such as the Oracle Database Gateway.
UseMDXEnable this property to pass MDX queries directly to Microsoft Power BI XMLA. When disabled, the provider translates SQL-92 queries into operations on the modeled views.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
WorkspaceSpecifies the Premium Power BI workspace(s) to connect to, using a comma-separated list of workspace names.
