I was trying to connect to a PostgreSQL db from PBI and received the following error:
"PostgreSQL: 08P01: unsupported startup parameter: ssl_renegotiation_limit"
There are limited threads talking about this error and the suggested solutions do not work to me so i post a new one here and hope that someone can help me out. Thanks a lot in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @lawrencecmp ,
As far as I know, this parameter had been deprecated in 9.4 version of PostgresSQL DB.
You can try different ways to connect to PostgresSQL DB, refer this article:
