Using Spotfire functions when connecting to a Database connection


I'm connecting my Spotfire to Postgres database. After connecting to the db some of the functions are not available in Spotfire. I want to know if there is a way I can be connected to the database and still use all the Spotfire functionalities. I have huge amount of data and I need to store it in a database as using Excel is not a viable solution. I understand when I connect to a database I can only use limited functions supported by the database. I wanted to know there is a way around this situation.

If there is a workaround like similar to qvd's in qlik or if I can store data in another dxp file and use that to import data.


Solution

  • It is not because of external data, I spoke to Spotfire support they don't support this, if I'm connecting to a database, I'll only be able to use limited functions. I found an alternative solution though using information links.
