Pervasive SQL Problem

‎05-22-2017 07:30 AM

Hi

 

I am trying to connect to a PSQL database, but am getting the following error message:

PSQL Error.PNG

 

 

 

Any ideas about why and how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks!

Hi @bullius,

Install relevant PSQL database driver and create ODBC data source for PSQL following the instruction in the blog below, then connect to the ODBC data source in Power BI Desktop and check if it is successful.
