MariaDB is cosying up to Microsoft and its army of Power BI platform users with the offer of a query adapter.
The MySQL fork slinger aims to give Power BI punters access to data analysis and visualisation of live data on-prem or in the cloud through the MariaDB DBaaS SkySQL.
MariaDB said Microsoft had only been able to access as much as 1GB of data from MariaDB or MySQL databases within Power BI. With the query adaptor, the goal is to offer access to all the data in the MariaDB system, including the massively parallel processing (MPP) delivered in the SkySQL cloud data warehouse.
