    Adding support for JDBC data sources would allow for integration with databases other than SQL Server.

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

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

    RE: Support JDBC Data Sources.

    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.

    RE: Support JDBC Data Sources.

    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: noahb@marksystemsusa.com
