RE: AWS RDS PostgreSQL

Any update on this? We are going to have Power BI Pro available to us soon and I haven't been able to get the app.powerbi.com site to connect to RDS.

RE: AWS RDS PostgreSQL

Under review for 3 years?? Why exposing a connector when it obviously doesn't work as advertised. There are a ton of threads in Power BI online with massive challenges to connect to Postgres hosted on AWS... Please fix!

RE: AWS RDS PostgreSQL

This has been under review for over 2 years now! It still does not work, and it is super complicated to install the required dlls and drivers. See here:

Please give us an update on this issue!

RE: AWS RDS PostgreSQL

Agree! Please can we do this soon? Has to be really easy to connect though ... no installing DLL's or editing config files please!
