I am trying to create a linked server between the warehouse and a amazon cloud service.
The service provide is using a PostgreSQL database.
I have installed the ODBC Driver (12.10) on my server but I keep getting this error.
I am not sure how to work around this as I have never used Postgres before.

Whenever I attempt to connect to my PostgreSQL database as a data source, I get the error message below.
Other users have recommended using an odbc connection? Why does an odbc connection work rather than a PostgreSQL connection for a PostgreSQL database in Power BI?
Had attempted to connect to my PostgreSQL database with all the correct credentials, failed with the error message mentioned. I had connected to the same database with an odbc connection perfectly.
I have a question, I do not know how to solve it yet. Perhaps someone here has faced a similar issue.
We have a PostgreSQL DB hosted on Gcloud. We usually use a cloud proxy to connect with the database. It usually works very well!! In a nutshell the proxy connect a port from local host, to the actual DB host.
However this time, we want to connect it with Microsoft SSMS. We have not find an option where we can connect Microsoft SSMS with a DB running locally (this means connecting to a database on a port in local host).
The ultimate goal is to connect the database with Power BI. So if someone know how to connect a PostgreSQL DB hosted in GCloud to power BI that would also be very helpful!!
We have followed this tutorial:
https://www.anibalum.com.ar/2020/06/creating-linked-server-with-postgres.html
However we get the following error:
The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "PAPERFLOWDB".

I am currently working on Spring Boot project which is connected to Postgres database. I am using PG Admin tool to connected to database. While I am running my project, I am getting exception and that is related to database.
The password I am giving is correct, still it is not connecting to the database. I am not using any AWS services.
How I can resolve this issues related to timeout expired?
Question
What extra do I get if I fix this and get access to the admin database? (MyDataBaseName normal database works perfectly well)
Do I even need to fix this to use this postgres database for a Django 3.0 project?
Done -> ERROR
I have created a free tear AWS RDS Postgres 11 database.
I allowed external connections at creation and have successfully configured the inbound rules.
Than I have connected to pgAdmin (right click on server groups/create/server)
Than I got 3 database:
MyDataBaseName how I have named my database
postgesql that is auto generated
rdsadmin this is also auto generated,
I have problem with this one that it doesn't opens,
it has a rex x at the database icon
if i click on it it gives the following ERROR message
INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
FATAL: SomeConfigFileName.conf rejects connection for host "host.ip.adders.actully.with.numbers", user "myPersonalUsername", database "rdsadmin", SSL on
FATAL: SomeConfigFileName.conf rejects connection for host "host.ip.adders.actully.with.numbers", user "myPersonalUsername", database "rdsadmin", SSL off
"rdsadmin" is used for internal purposes by AWS. There should be no need to "fix" this.
The only things you are missing is things you aren't allowed to do anyway, and indeed not needing to deal with them yourself is what you are paying Amazon for.
Django shouldn't care. If it demands access to this database, that would be a bug in Django (or a configuration error)
Have created a follower database for a Heroku Postgres DB. I am able to connect to the follower DB by using pgAdmin, no problem.
When I try to connect with Tableau 8.2 Postgres connector using the same credentials, I get "no pg_hba.conf entry for host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, user yyyyyyyy, database zzzzzzzz, SSL Off".
As an alternative I tried the Amazon Redshift connector with the same credentials and it works, except for full drill through to underlying data errors out ("Syntax error at or near 7500") or some other line number.
Does anyone know a way to connect to Heroku Follower database with Tableau 8.2 that enables drill through (view underlying data)?
Have you been able to get the Postgres connector to work?
Is there a way to get the Amazon Redshift (or other) connector to work with drill through capabilities?
