postgres driver not working error code 193

Sanoguer

I downloaded the Postgres SQL driver FROM the Alteryx website (https://us1.alteryxcloud.com/license-portal/). However, I am getting error 192:  the setup routines for simba postgresSQL ODBC drivers ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 192. Why am I getting this error if I downloaded the driver from the Alteryx website?

The error seems to suggests that there's an issue with the ODBC driver setup on your system.

 

A few clarifications:

  • What exactly did you download? Can you do a screen capture of said download?
  • What is your Alteryx version?
  • Where did this error appear - upon execution or upon dragging onto Canvas?

If you wish to do some troubleshooting:

  • Make sure that the Simba PostgreSQL ODBC driver is correctly installed on your system. If not, reinstall the driver and see if it works.

  • Make sure there's no bit mismatch... 64 and 32 are very different.
  • If all else fails, write a ticket to Alteryx via Mission Control. They will be better able to support with their on-call Engineers. Please provide them logs and your issue in depth, link them to this post as well for better visibility.

@caltang skipped question 1:

have you confirmed that you can connect in your ODBC 64 config? If you cannot connect there (ie use Test) - troubleshoot that first.

Woops! Yeah, @Sanoguer please do a simple test and see if you get an error. Good point @apathetichell !
