Let me reiterate, I require Power BI Report Server; the on-premise version specifically, not the cloud version.
I currently have an Oracle Database (Oracle 19C).
Do we need strictly need a SQL Server Enterprise Edition for Power BI Report Server?
So, is it possible to use Oracle as our Database server for Power BI Report Server
If not, can we have Oracle and SQL co-existing in the same Database Server?
