Cannot see all tables when connecting to Postgres DB with Power BI

Hi,
I have a Postres DB hosted on AWS and this DB has 4 tables - 2 old ones that I already connect to and 2 new ones that I would like to add. I can access them when using DBeaver from my computer.
The new tables are in the same schema.


When I am connecting to the same DB using Power BI desktop, I can see only the 2 original ones.
I tired the following with no success:

  • Open a new fresh Power BI report
  • Clear all data source setting (File -> option and settings).

Any ideas what is going on and how to solve it?
Thank you!

  • Hi Neeko,
    Eventually it was a user access rights for the tables that I could see. Once we used a user that has access to them I was able to see them from Power BI desktop.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi yaronklein ,

     

    You can open your pbix file then click Recent Sources to select your database, then click Refresh, check New Tables, then click LOAD.

     

    Best Regards,
