Anonymous · ‎01-22-2019

Hi,

I tried to access our postgres server, but upon selecting postgres from the options for get data. It asked me to install some software.. I installed the software, rebooted and I am still getting the error message?

It takes me to

https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql/releases

Help!

@Anonymous,

What error message do you get?

In my environment, I installed Npgsql 3.1.8 and I selected the option to install to the GAC during the installation process, there is no issues when I connect to PostgreSQL in Power BI Desktop(2.65.5313.1381).

In your scenario, please ensure that you select the option to install to the GAC when installing Npgsql . And you can also try to install 3.1.8, then check if the connection is successful.

Regards,
Lydia
