Select * from Oracle query is not showing the Native Query, why?

[AdrienneB]

Hi, I am trying to set up incremental refresh for the first time. I am experimenting with a pbix report with just one query in it, imported from an Oracle database. This query results in all of the rows of one table that has 16 rows, 6 columns, 3 of those are dates, 2 simple text fields and the last one is an integer.

My query is simple: 

select * from schema_name.table_name

The View Native Query is greyed out and I cannot figure out why.

Any help is highly appreciated! 🙏

Hi @AdrienneB 

I reproduced your problem by use SQL Query when connect SQL database. I use query "selet * from school", and my View Native Query is greyed out as well.

I think the View Native Query greyed out is caused by your SQL Query in Advance when you connect to data source. If you use sql query, it will cause query folding disabled.

For reference: 

View Native Query always disabled

@AdrienneB not sure if it works with native query, create a view in the backend and use that directly or simply call that table and see if it works.
