    Hi Team - Need your assistance to Create a New Data Source of Cognos Version 10.2.1 with Maria DB, as Maria DB is not listed while trying to select with the Drop down list.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Official support for MariaDB wasn't introduced to Cognos until version 11.0.5, so you won't see a data source for it when creating connections in 10.2.1. I think your only option here is to download the MariaDB ODBC connector:

    https://mariadb.com/kb/en/about-mariadb-connector-odbc/

    When you configure it, make sure you choose the 32-bit driver. Then you can set up an ODBC connection on your server (using the ODBCAD32 interface). Once this has been done, you can set up an ODBC data source connection in Cognos 10.2.1 that points to this.

    Cheers!

    MF.

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but from looking at the supported software it looks like PostgreSQL is officially supported at least in 11.1.x.  Anyone with a successful deployment on it?  What version of PostgreSQL and CQM or DQM?

    PostgreSQL/PostgreSQL JDBC has been supported from Dynamic Query since 10.2.1, and CQM via PostgreSQL ODBC in previous releases.

    Newer (11.x) releases are integrated/tested with the new PostgreSQL clients/servers.

    In terms of latest in-market 11.x releases see:

    Sweet!

    Thanks for the info Nigel.

    We're currently a Sybase shop but with the continued decline in support of Sybase in the market plus SAP's low-confidence reassurances in their future direction with ASE we've started a long-term project investigating alternatives.  Open Source would be a great way to go!

    Regards,
