# Power BI Connector for CrateDB
Power BI Connector for CrateDB

## What is CrateDB?
CrateDB is a distributed SQL database that makes it simple to store and analyze
massive amounts of data in real-time.
CrateDB offers the benefits of an SQL database *and* the scalability and
flexibility typically associated with NoSQL databases. Modest CrateDB clusters
can ingest tens of thousands of records per second without breaking a
sweat. You can run ad-hoc queries using standard SQL. CrateDB's blazing-fast
distributed query execution engine parallelizes query workloads across the
whole cluster.
## What is Power BI native connector for CrateDB?
The new native Power BI connector for CrateDB connects Power BI Desktop to a cluster of a CrateDB instance.
### Install the connector
There are two ways to install the connector:
- Using the Self-Signed version - not available right now.
- Using the non-signed version, for which you'll have to reduce the security requirements of PowerBi. [There](#Install-the-unsigned-version)
### Install the self signed version - not available right now.
### Install the unsigned version
- You have to enable the "Uncertified connectors" in the Security Options of Power BI:
- Then download the last version of the unsigned connector (*.mez)
- And install this file into your `%USERHOME%\Documents\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors` folder.
- Restart Power Bi and the connector should show up in the list.
### How to use it?
* **Step 1**
> Launch the CrateDB connector. You will find it in the Get Data, Other.
* **Step 2**
> If you have not yet set up a CrateDB connection, you'll have to start one now. You have to login with your credentials
* **Step 3**
> Select the data you want to retrieve and validate
