FYI, I just build a metabase-dremio-driver project at:

> **[Baoqi/metabase-dremio-driver](https://github.com/Baoqi/metabase-dremio-driver)**
>
> Dremio driver for Metabase BI. Contribute to Baoqi/metabase-dremio-driver development by creating an account on GitHub.

I tested on Metabase 0.39.1 and Dremio 15.0.0, most major functionality should work. Just in case other people may also use both Metabase and Dremio

Thanks

A big thank you @Baoqi !  
As suggested in the repository, what do you think about restricting dremio’s objects to the connection’s “database” ? Dremio can catalog many many sources, and in my use case, Metabase cannot even show the connection catalog !

One again, thank you !  
We now have a complete data stack : dremio + dbt + metabase !

Do you know if this works with Metabase 0.46?

Update to that version and the controller no longer connects.
