Postgresql: Exception while reading from stream

[willianmsantos]

Hello Dear Community!

Has anyone ever got this message while trying to connect to a Postgre DB? What was the workaround? 

Thanks in advance!

Go to Edit Queries->Advanced Editor-> add timeout in the connection

Source = PostgreSQL.Database("server_name", "database_name", [CommandTimeout=#duration(5, 0, 0, 0)]),

This error may happen when connection string is lacking port number. Try using server:port in connection string to Postgres database.

How to do that? 

I have the same problem. I can't connect Postgres DB to Power BI 😥

Hi @willianmsantos,

I'd like to suggest you setting the 'Timeout' parameters and try again, it may fix the issue.

Hello Community!

That was definelty some firewalls dropping packages between the server I have the client installed and the database. I asked firewall team to open the route between source and destination and It worked properly.

Thanks for your insights!

Bad news. This may well be the first of many errors you'll get trying to connect to a Postgresql data source. 

I've been banging my head against a Certificate error for a week.

That's sad, I've spent most of day yesterday struggling over this issue. I hope to get back with some good news. 🙂
