I need a list of DirectQuery data sources. This page Use DirectQuery in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn says:
> For a summary of the sources that support DirectQuery, see Data sources supported by DirectQuery.
That page has no such list. Where did it go?
It doesn't look like there is a consolidated list any more. What you can do is go here: List of all Power Query connectors - Power Query | Microsoft Learn and then find your data source (eg. Power Query Oracle database connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn) and then check the Capabilities Supported section:
I filed an issue on Github. This type of documentation gap is quite frankly unacceptable.
I am also looking for a consolidated page from microsoft official documentation. Does anyone find it already?
Dont know where Microsoft has put this page now.
I am trying to find this list as well - the link provided above still points to the Use DirectQuery in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn page which has no list..
Hello @Rudz ,
check this article, it has a list of datasources as you asked for https://radacad.com/directquery-connection-in-power-bi-how-does-it-work-limitations-and-advantages
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution so it would appeare to others, Appreciate your Kudos 👍

Thanks! I found this too, but it's almost a year old. That can be horribly out of date at the speed Power BI sometimes moves! I was hoping to find the official Power BI list. It seems like it is gone now.
This is your chance to engage directly with the engineering team behind Fabric and Power BI. Share your experiences and shape the future.
