Faster oracle database connection. The existing one is slow compared to the SQL Server one.

[kken_lewen]

The existing oracle data source is extremely slow. I even installed the latest oracle drivers from oracle and that only saw a marginal improvement in speed. My other oracle apps using the same connector are very fast, but Power BI is extremely slow.

Hello, we are early in 2016, and the ideas is not started, can we hope for some performance improvements shortly?

Hi, any updates on this improvement request?

One report I use has ~1 million rows, ~20 columns. Takes about 25 minutes to refresh from Oracle. If I dump the same data from a tool like TOAD it takes several minutes. Please improve this. We shouldnt have to vote on this...

Maybe look at the attuinity providers, they are available through the SQL Server feature pack. You can maybe pull a deal for Power BI as well....

You can always install and configure the Oracle OleDB provider and use that instead of the default Oracle connector in PowerBI. EG let Source = OleDb.DataSource("provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;data source=//MyOracleServer/MySID;extended properties=""FetchSize=1000""", [Query="select * from ... )"]) . . .

ORACLE data load is still SLOW like snail.. downloading data from SQL client works much faster.. any solution or a workaround? don't want to download plaintext and load it to Power BI

It feels like it is getting worse, not better. Can we move this up the priority list?
