    Hello everyone,

    I am struggling trying to establish a connection within Power BI Desktop with a PostgreSQL DB.

    First I became an error because I hadn't installed npgSQL Library.

    Now I simply become a "Failed to establish a connection..." error.

    Anyone having a clue?

    Thanks for your reply

    Hi Nicolas,

    Does the error provide more information? Are you able to connect to your database using other tools?

    Thanks,
    Tristan

    Hi

    I'm having this same issue.

    It says :

    "Details: "PostgreSQL: We were unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'Npgsql'.
    This error could've been the result of provider-specific client software being required, but missing on this computer.  To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose the 64-bit (x64) version of, at minimum, 'Npgsql version 2.0.12': https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=2827162""

    I don't know what this is though.

    Can anyone help out?

    I have an application that I got with the database that uses the database, but it has very weak reporting capability and I was hoping this tool could do better.

    Also is there anyway to get a notification on this trail?

    Thanks

    Mark
