Chose B1
ODBC: Open DataBase Connector which is supported by Cassandra. OData is used for Restull data from web, such as Business Object reports
Chose B2
* Answer: B. ODBC * Explanation: Power BI does not have a native connector for Cassandra. ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a generic standard that allows Power BI to connect to many databases through an ODBC driver. Cassandra has ODBC drivers available from third-party providers, making this the best alternative. * Why not the others: A. Microsoft SQL Server database: Only works for SQL Server, not Cassandra. C. OLE DB: Similar to ODBC but less commonly supported for Cassandra. D. OData: Used for RESTful services, not for direct database connections like Cassandra.
