Hi MichelleTW729

You can find the minimum version requirements for data sources with Power BI gateway in the official documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-data-source-prerequisites

For SQL Server, the gateway supports SQL Server 2005+ for import, but for DirectQuery the minimum required version is SQL Server 2012 SP1 or newer. SQL Server 2008 Standard is not supported for DirectQuery scenarios and may have limited support for basic gateway operations.
If your customer is using SQL 2008 Standard, it’s recommended to upgrade to at least SQL Server 2012 SP1 to ensure full compatibility with the latest Power BI gateway features.
