New to pgAdmin III -- Can't view databases - heroku

I just installed the most recent version of pgAdmin III (1.20 installed on Windows 8). I haven't used this software before, so I may be overlooking something simple.
I'm able to connect ok (at least to heroku, with my DB name in the 'maintenance db' field). Additionally, when I select the server in pgAdmin, it shows my DB name listed on the right hand side, along with the rest of my credentials.
That said, it shows that there 0 databases for my server. Should I click 'databases(0)', I get this error:
Error: Column datconfig does not exist.
In my Googling, it seems that this error typically happens when users are running an older version of pgAdmin. I'm running the most recent, though .
Any ideas?

It seems to be a problem with Windows 8. I just installed the Mac client on a laptop, and everything went fine.

Need help installing ODAC 122011x64 so I can connect ADW to Power BI

So I have successfully installed Oracle DB 19c and connected it to Oracle SQL Developer. I am able to create tables and run queries. Furthermore, I can connect to ADW with both python and SQL Developer and any changes that I commit are seen in all locations. I am trying to connect the ADW database to Power BI. I am running all this on a personal Windows 10 Pro laptop with plenty of SSD & RAM.
In a new window of Power BI I click Get Data and then Oracle Database followed by Connect. When I do this I get a pop up that says:
The recommended provider ('Oracle.DataAccess.Client') is not installed. You can continue with your current provider, however it has been deprecated and may not work correctly.
I clock OK. Enter my Server as the TNS Name that I have used for my python and SQL Developer instances. In my ADW database, I have a table called TEST. It's a simple table with 1 column with the years 2015 through 2020 in it. Been using this to test to see if things are working. So I click on the DirectQuery and run the SQL statement SELECT * FROM TEST under the Advanced options menu and select OK. A sign in window pops up and I select the Database table and enter my correct ADW username and password. The same one that I can use to access this table from SQL Developer and then select Connect. When I do, I get this error:
Details: "The provider being used is deprecated: 'System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.'. Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376 to install the official provider."
So I go to the website and download the ODAC122011_x64 file from Oracle and unzip it. When I double click the setup.exe file inside the directory I get a yes/no user control account menu and I select yes and then a command prompt window flashes very quickly and then nothing happens. I ran a super slow motion capture from my phone to capture what the command window showed and below is what I see:
Starting Oracle Universal Starter...
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 color Higher than 256 . Actual 4294967290 Passed
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\Users\<my username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2020 09:20_09-04 {???}
Please wait .._
It does nothing after this I have tried running the oui.exe file under the install subdirectory and get nothing and I have tried running the install.exe file in Oracle Universal Installer that I acquired when installing Oracle DB 19c and I get the following error when I target the install.exe file for installation:
OUI-10118:C/Users/{my username}/Downloads/ODAC122011_x64/Setup.exe is either a directory or a corrupt file. Specify a valid filename.
This is a file that I just directly downloaded from Oracle's website and unzipped to a directory with no spaces in the directory location. I have the latest version of Java installed (JDK 15).
I am not sure the proper work around here. Why can't I get my Power BI to connect to my Oracle ADW table using the methods described in this article. Those are the instructions that I used. It appears that I need this ODAC application but I don't understand why it won't install.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thanks!
Edit: I am using 64-bit on each application.
Update: Still having issues. I checked the log and this is what I am seeing:
Using paramFile:
C:\Oracle\Oracle_PowerBI_ODAC\ODAC122011_x64\install\oraparam.ini
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 4294967296 Passed
The number of files bootstrapped for the jre is 0.
The number of files bootstrapped for the oui is 0.
the client version need not match the server version, Removing all other versions, and making sure that I had the x64 version,
You need the latest ODP.net library to use Oracle. Please download it here:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html
I figured out the solution after reviewing this post. Apparently having over 2TB of free space on a hard drive causes this problem. You have to go into command prompt and create a temporary file to get your free space under 2TBs using something like this:
fsutil file createnew temp_1TB_file 1200000000000
Run the setup.exe again and then delete the temp file after.
Update: After doing all this I still was running into the same issues in Power BI. Then I read the troubleshooting notes from this page more closely and realized that I might have found the problem when it said:
If you downloaded Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store, you might be unable to connect to Oracle databases because of an Oracle driver issue.
I uninstalled the PowerBI Desktop that I had installed from Microsoft Store and installed it from the download from its website and tried connecting to Oracle ADW again through PowerBI and IT WORKED!!! So much troubleshooting but it finally works!

Unable to start application server of pgadmin 4

I have just installed postgresql-10.4-1-windows-x64. Didn't face any issue while installation, however, when trying to open pgAdmin4 receiving an error as attached.
Please help to get this started.
Did you have an earlier version of pgAdmin installed? The reason I ask is because the error message you received indicates you might be launching a different version than 4.3.
There was a rewrite so the old runtime as a tray-based server (v4.2 & older) is now launched a web browser (v 4.3 feature #3086).
I suspect your error not being able to connect to the "application server" means you are launching an older version but downloaded a newer one.
while mine is the 32 bit version, i encountered the same problem. but i solved mine by adding the postgresql bin folder path to the environment variable settings.

Error occurs while install Oracle BIEE

I'm trying to install Oracle BIEE 11g on my computer, but something wiered happend.
I've tried on a x86 computer with 2GB memory and a x64 computer with 4GB memory. Both of them are running Windows OS. I want to connect a MS-SQLSERVER database, and I've finished creating related DEV_ tables using RCU.
I followed the tutorial from the doc.oracle.com, but then I stopped at the 14th step, it says "设置数据库连接失败". I can continue install, but another error occurs, service obisch1 cannot start. I can open localhost:9704 after installation, but it will return a 500-error after I restart my computer.
I searched the internet, it says I should set my database source using "Net Manager" Tool, but I don't know how. And after install I got a database source using driver "MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT SQL Server Wired Protocol", but I can't make change to it, cause the system says can't find the driver...
I don't know what to do now... Anybody can help me? Thanks very much.
Well, I've kind of solved it.
I still don't know why my computer cannot find the odbc drier "MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT SQL Server Wired Protocol", which seems to be the reason why I can't connect to the database at the 14th step while I install OBIEE.
However, I add an odbc-connect through the system's function, I found it in the control panel.
On the other hand, the url http://localhost:7001/em and http://localhost:7001/analytics can be still accessed(after a long time, it can be accessed).
So, then I create a rpd file use my own odbc-connect, and it seems work fine.
Thanks everybody, anyway, and hopes can help

Issue installing Oracle SQL Developer on my MacBookPro - Am I missing a component?

I had to recently re-install OS X on my MBP and am in the process of re-installing all of my apps. One app that worked just fine in the past, but is now giving me errors is Oracle SQL Developer and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing.
Here's what I have tried:
Downloaded and installed SQL Developer on my machine.
Downloaded the Instant Client related files - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html (I installed all of the 64 bit related stuff on this page - Im on a 64 bit machine), combined it into one folder and moved it my /usr folder using this guide: installing Oracle Instantclient on Mac OS/X without setting environment variables?
I also installed this the JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I also set up my TNSNames.ora file and copied it to my /etc folder (This is required on a mac)
Here's my problem - If I attempt to connect to my Oracle instance using the above, it throws this error:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
Vendor code 0
This occurs whether I use basic or the TNS connection type.
So my question to my fellow developers is - Am I missing something in terms of the install above? I have tried googling for that particular error message and not found anything useful. At first glance, it seems like SQL Developer is looking for some file.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
EDIT - The version of SQL Developer that I am trying to install is 3.1.07 and I am trying to connect to an 11G instance.
Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > Advanced, and make sure Use OCI/Thick driver is un-checked.
Once done, try creating a connection and test. I also think you might be running an in-compatible version of Java in your newly installed OS X, so try installing JDK 1.6.0_11 or above, if the solution doesn't work.

postgresql client overflow

I keep getting the error:
FATAL: sorry, too many clients
already
I never had the problem before, but I recently upgraded to version 9.03 and also OS X lion preview release 2. It doesn't seem to matter how idle the processes are, they never die. I have to restart postgres every half hour or so. I'm using postgres via Rails 3 and Navicat, never had a problem with either before now and stopping both clients does nothing to solve the problem.
Any ideas or settings I'm missing? Not sure what settings I should display here for my setup, but everything should be default. Installed postgres using HOMEBREW.
Most likely go into postgresql.conf and edit max_connections and post the existing value.To see how many connections you have an what they are doing select from pg_stat_activity. Maybe your bleeding connections?
