Direct Query and PostgreSQL
Hi
I have connected to a PostgreSQL database using an ODBC connection. However I now want to connect a single table direct query. Is it possible to do this in any way?
Many thanks in advance

You may have to use npgsql then use powerbi connector to achieve dq mode.

None of these links work. They highlight issues and show the ODBC solution, which doesn't support direct query) as well as one hosted on AWS. On the microsoft documentation it says postgresql itself (standard connector) can be done in direct query mode. Is this not possible in the service?
Same question here! Documentation says supports Direct Query/Live, but can't find any way to do it. Everyone says to do it in the service, you have to use ODBC which doesn't support direct query. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks!
