Hello,
I'm currently trying to connect to a on-prem Oracle Database.
Im 99,9% sure I have the right user credentials, but I'm unsure about how to enter them in the user name field.
I know that I have to add "as sysdba" somewhere, but entering it as below, Power BI returned an error message.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@MrBIn , why need to use as sysdba. You need to access table that you will get without using that
Nevermind, I used another DB user which is NOT "sys". Then I was able to access without "as sysdba". Thanks!
When I don't use "as sysdba", Power BI gives me the following error:
ORA-28009: connection as SYS should be as SYSDBA or SYSOPER
