Connect to Postgres SQL DB hosted on an Azure Server

Hi  Lior0707 ,

The PostgresSQL connector doesn't work out of the box, you need to do quite a few things first

1. Install Npgsql which allows .NET access to PostgresSQL.  I installed it using the Pakagae Manager Console in Visual Studio; detailed instructions are here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Npgsql/

You need to connect over SSL to AWS which isn't setup by default (on my Windows 10 machine anway)

2. Download the AWS public key from here https://s3.amazonaws.com/rds-downloads/rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem

3. Convert that to a certificate using https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html (convert to PKCS#7/P7B)

4. Import that certificate to the Trusted Room Certificate described here http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~gsw2c/GridToolsDir/Documentation/ImportTrustedCertificates.htm

5. Test access from Power BI desktop using the PostgresSQL connector and it should work
