DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [07006] [Oracle][ODBC]Restricted data type attribute violation

Hello,

in Power BI Desktop (Version: 2.41.4581.361 32-bit (November 2016)) I want to connect to an Oracle data base via ODBC.

I do have an ODBC data source set up, which so far worked fine in application MS Access 2016 and MS Excel 2016. In Power BI, however, I get an error.

At first the connection seems to wok fine, I get a list of all tables in the data base as expected. But when I try to load a table, the following error message comes up:

 

DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [07006] [Oracle][ODBC]Restricted data type attribute violation.

Details:

   DataSourceKind=Odbc

   DataSourcePath=dsn=LAWRPT90

   OdbcErrors=Table

 

However, if in settings in SQL statement optional field I put something like SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME I can access specific table. This could be a workaround for me but it’s very inconvenient approach

 

I have same issue connecting in Power Query or Power Pivot in Excel 2016.

 

Is there a way to fix this problem?

 

Thanks, Danil

Power BI technology is great but useless for me until this issue is resolved. i can't connect to my data source which is fundamental problem.
