Hi,

 

the problem is with DirectQuery not working on PowerBi Service, as it says in the documentation you linked v-diye-msft .

DirectQuery = NO 

 

OP is asking whether this is on the roadmap or already scheduled to release as this feature is available in PowerBi Desktop.

When can one configure a PowerBi Gateway to use DirectQuery with Postgres?

There is an open source connector https://github.com/sgoley/DirectQuery-for-ODBC-in-PowerBI for this, but I've yet to test it.

    At the moment (19/10/20), the Power BI Data Sources table shows Direct Query/Live Connection support for PostgreSQL.

     

    Still, even simple correctly folded tables (verified with QueryFolding) cannot be shown.

     

    I would like Microsoft to clarify if there are indeed still some bugs which would force PostgreSQL to use ODBC connector.
