SQLDumper.exe black box error is back

Using Oracle Direct Connect

Power BI Version: 2.60.5169.4101 64-bit (July, 2018)

 

After joining 2 tables the SQLDumper.exe black box shows up and closes down Power BI and the join never saves.  I've tried all the different way to join tables.  Drawing the lines, using the menu on the "Home" tab for "Manage Relationships", and in the model view "Manage Relationships"  

 

Nothing works to join tables together.

Please Advise.

Hi @pokdbz,

 

Did this issue appears when you turned on preview feature 'composite models' and try to create many to many relationships?

If this is a case, I'd like to suggest you to take a look at following document first:

Composite models in Power BI Desktop (Preview)

 

In addition, can you please provide more detailed information to help us clarify your scenario?

Hello, I'm just doing a simple 1 to many replationship.  I tried it with the Composite Preview mode off and on.  Both ways still produce the SQLDumpler.exe error 

 

I also updated to the newest verion of PBI that was released yesterday 8/8/2018 and the problem is still there.

HI @pokdbz,

 

Have you test with other oracle datasource? Did this issue appears again when you test with on other datasource?

BTW, you can also open a support ticket for this.

I tried with a different Oracle Datasource with Direct Query and it still produced the Dumper error and closed out of Power BI.  I opened previous Power BI files that worked correctly and tried to re-join the information and it errored and closed also.

 

I connected with Direct query to SQL Server and that worked correctly.  Looks like the problem is localized to Oracle connections.
