I am trying to setup a connection to my database. I have the below screenshots:
Simba Driver success
These are the simba driver credentials which are tested successfully.
However when I replicate the same at Alteryx, I get the below error.
Unable to connect
This is my database screengrab:
I am getting the error:
Internal Error SQLDriverConnect: [Simba][PostgreSQL] (10) Error occurred while trying to connect: [SQLState 08S01] could not translate host name "your_PostgreSQL_server" to address: Unknown host
This is what my saved credentials look like:
Saved Connection
I dont understand how to debug this.
What and where should I input so that Alteryx connects to the database where I can read and write to it?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Can you connect via in-db instead? could be unhappy with localhost as the host url...

Thank you for the help however the issue was when I set up the pgSQL connection driver, I had setup the User DNS and not system DNS. I stumbled upon it accidentally and updated the system DNS on the OS side after which the connections worked. I would mark it as completed.
