Hello,
I would like to know if I could connect to PostgreSQL or Sybase in Power BI. Some tables requires use sybase other use postgresql. So how to implement two ways logging in. I am having error when added postgresql. While refreshing, I am getting:
OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] Sybase SQL Anywhere: Connection error: Connection was dropped (may not be a SQL Anywhere server) .
