Explore insights of a huge table from oracle database

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I need some suggestion. I have a table that has 1.5 million rows and 180 columns. It's the final table that I have created by joining multiple tables where each row represents a unique id. I want to analyze this table to get some business insights. I connected this table with power bi using the source as Oracle DB and choosing the import option. But it's taking a lot and a lot of time to load the data. For ex, to load just 300,000 it took around 3 hours. This is not a feasible solution.

I checked, there is another option-"Direct Query" but I guess it has its limitation. First being it can process 1 million rows, second, being I won't be able to publish it to the workspace or connect to the Enterprise gateway. I want to build a report that could be used by other users across the organisation by publishing it to the workspace. So, I guess this is also not a feasible solution.

It would be great if I could get some suggestions if there is any other option that I can try out and make it work.

Best regards,

Supriya

HI @Anonymous ,

Do you need all the 180 columns in Power BI to create reports further?

Thanks,

Hi @Pragati11,

Yes, I would need the columns (or maybe 10 less columns-170) as each column specifies a characteristic of that id. I want to explore all the columns to gain insights as I am not sure which column can give useful insights to the business unless explored.

Thank you.

Hi @spsingh ,

Rather than bringing in a one big table, I prefer to create multiple small tables.

In your case like every column represents a different characteristic of the identifier, you can try splitting your table in Oracle to may be 2 or 3 tables where you can have every table having similar kind of characteristics in one place.

Based on the information you have shared, this is ony what I can think of.

Thanks,

Pragati
