Submission GuidelinesHello all,
As of today, you can only (officially) connect to a postgresql through ODBC with the SIMBA driver
help page :
https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/data-sources/postgresql.html#postgresql
You have to download the driver from your license page
However there is a perfectly fine official driver for postgresql here https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/releases/
I would like Alteryx to support it for several obvious reasons :
1/I don't want several drivers for the same database
2/the simba driver is not supported for last releases of postgresql
3/the simba driver is somehow less robust than the official driver
4/well... it's the official driver and this leads to unecessary between Alteryx admin/users and PG db admin.
Best regards,
Simon
