Power BI Desktop freezing when I try to connect to a PostgresSQL database
Hi All,
I am new to Power BI Desktop -- When I try to connect to a Postgres SQL database in the program, I do these steps:
1. Click "Get Data form another source"
2. I choose "PostgresSQL database" as the connection type
3. It prompts me to enter the Server and Database
4. I enter these, and click "OK" <-- But at this point, the application freezes. It does not proceed forward from here.
Does anyone know what I might have to do to get through this issue?
