gateway
2 TopicsSearching a slicer in my Direct Query report blows it up (ORA-00904)
Good afternoon! Anonymous and I are building a report that performs a Direct Query to an Oracle database with a custom SQL query (that we feel is optimized) through a gateway. We originally had several search boxes with the Text Filter visual added, but when we would search we would immediately lose all the visuals. We replaced this with a slicer. It takes a moment for all the values to load, but when we select one it works. If we attempt to search the slicer at all, we lose the slicer visual with an ORA-00904 (invalid identifier) error. If the slicer has loaded all the selections, is it passing the search through SQL? I assumed it would just search in local memory. Do we need to do something funky to the SQL query? Is this just an optimization issue? Hopefully we're not the only people fighting this. Thanks in advance!642Views0likes1CommentConnecting to Mysql as directQuery mode using Mariadb Connector
Hello, We have a requirement to monitor frequently updated data via Power bi and will be embedded in a web application, the data source is actually Mysql, Since MySQL Does not support DirectQuery Mode, I managed to connect to it via a MariaDB connector (which is usable to connect to Mysql Database), and the DirectQuery works perfectly fine with MySQL using this connector, I also managed to set up a gateway so it could connect to our locally hosted virtual machine that hosts the Mysql server, Everything seems to work fine. My question is, is this approach reliable enough to go to production? Should I expect any "weird" behavior, for example, if the data grows? I appreciate your help.Solved2.7KViews0likes1Comment
