Hey I'm new to the Business Intelligence community. I'm currently setting up Power BI Report Server for an organization. However they currently use SQL Developer instead of SQL Server. My question is, is it possible and/or as straight forward to connect to SQL Dev as it is to SQL Server, or will I be needing intermediary tools of some sort? Thank you.

remember to install the ODAC components on the report server as well as any client machines with Power BI Desktop installed
