    Please implement this. I believe we are behind times now.

    Shame there isn't any movement with this. I hope the small number of votes doesn't mean it's not important.

    Please add direct query too, otherwise the Enterprise gateway will have to run on a schedule to sync the data. Direct query is something most BI Visualization tools have out of the box, it's strange PowerBI doesn't.

    You can leverage the on-prem connector offered by DataDirect's Hybrid Connectivity Services. With their patented on-premises connector technology, you won't have to open any ports. This Data API gateway offers secure access to on-prem data sources using standard OData or ODBC connections.

    I can connect to RDS SQL Server by using SQL Server option and Direct Query. However a pro license is required when you "publish to web" from the desktop version.
