Hi,
I created Power bi report using Direct query against Oracle db, Search function using Slicer doesn't work (in desktop and service, it would buffer for about 3 seconds and values will be unchanged on the slicer). When I changed to Import mode, Search function works. It does this for all columns. I can see this happening if it was searching for millions of rows, but I am only bringing back less than 4K records. Any ideas why it won't work on Direct query mode?
thanks
Thanks @amitchandak ,
I forgot to mention that I am using Oracle View to connect via Direct Query and the search is not working on all columns so can't create index. Assuming its a bug, will probably end up converting view to a table. Thanks for your help.
@Anonymous , Make sure there is an index on the column you are queying.
Check if fetch size can help in direct query
There is an open idea for sometime -https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=3ea4da28-52c8-ea11-bf21-0003ff528e0d
