Support JDBC Data Sources.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Would also remove the need to install vendor specific client software to connect to various databases.

Need to be able to access our on premise mySQL server

it's a must

I have a Basis BBJ backend running my software, so I need JDBC connectivity as well. Has anybody else come across a workaround for this? Please contact me if so: [email protected]

JDBC support would allow access to the Oracle 12c RPD semantic layer. Currently, NONE of the Microsoft products (Power BI, Excel, SQL Reports), support the Oracle ODBC drivers when connecting to the Oracle 12c RPD sematic layer. FAIL. Other vendors like Qlik and Tableau got this working with ODBC, even though Microsoft says the Oracle ODBC drivers are non-compliant.

I lead analytics technologies for a 20B company. This is a must have, with direct query.

Yes please!!

Please yes. This is a must.

I saw that https://databricks.azurewebsites.net/ Datbricks will support PowerBI - so would this be spark streaming using jDBC?

Useless for us without this feature
