Describe your changes

Rewrites the existing Power BI integration guide to use the built-in Power BI PostgreSQL connector instead of the ODBC/DSN driver, and retargets it from Tiger Cloud only to both Tiger Cloud and self-hosted TimescaleDB ("your service or database"). Refreshes the prerequisites (Npgsql is bundled in current Power BI Desktop), the connect/import flow, verification, and troubleshooting. Keeps the existing path, sidebar entry, and power-bi.png logo.

Drafted from the Power Query PostgreSQL connector docs. Linear: EDU-612.

Needs review (AI-drafted, not hand-verified):

  • Exact Power BI Desktop UI labels (Get data, Database category, PostgreSQL database, Import/DirectQuery, Database auth tab, Navigator, Transform Data) should be confirmed against a current Power BI Desktop session.
  • The "Npgsql bundled since December 2019" claim is from the Microsoft source; confirm for the versions you support.
  • Note: a powerbi.png asset was also added to the repo, but this guide keeps the pre-existing power-bi.png that already works — powerbi.png is currently unused.
