This article explains how to connect IBM SPSS Modeler with Treasure Data using Datatank v2, Treasure Data's recommended method for exporting data to external tools, replacing the deprecated Presto ODBC Driver.
By combining Treasure Data with IBM SPSS Modeler, you can prepare and model your data using powerful statistical tools after retrieving it from Treasure Data’s platform.
Download and install IBM SPSS Modeler from IBM's official site. This article assumes you’re using IBM SPSS Modeler.
Once installed, you should see the standard SPSS Modeler interface.
Using Datatank 2.0 or other datamarts, that provides PostgreSQL interface compatibility, SPSS's various functionalities and features can assist in efficiently visualizing this data and creating Dashboards.
While you can export data to Datatank 2.0 via Activation to PostgreSQL, you will need to integrate Datatank 2.0 with SPSS as well. You must first install PostgreSQL database drivers into your SPSS environment.
To complete this step, please refer to IBM's official documentation for instructions on importing external data sources:
2025-05: Treasure Data packaged Presto ODBC driver is deprecated and no longer maintained. We recommend all users to migrate to Datatank-based workflows for SPSS and other intermidate storages that SPSS supports.
