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

    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.

    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

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