All,

From SQL Server 2019, how do I connect to SQL Server Analysis Server (Tabular Model)/Azure Analysis Service using "CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE". I would like to connect to it using Polybase and extract data from the Tabular data model.

I installed the latest drivers for the Tabular model: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/analysis-services/client-libraries?view=asallproducts-allversions

Thanks,
grajee

    Polybase supports ODBC data sources, as well as a few additional non-ODBC data source.

    Analysis Services has no ODBC driver. It's got an OleDB provider and an ADO.NET driver.

    For SSAS you can use a Linked Server instead of Polybase.
