## The problem I’m having

The tutorial model does not run against PostgresQL 15

Pertinent libraries:

dbt-common-1.37.2

dbt-core-1.11.4

dbt-extractor-0.6.0

dbt-postgres-1.10.0

dbt-protos-1.0.431

dbt-semantic-interfaces-0.9.0

## The context of why I’m trying to do this

## What I’ve already tried

## Some example code or error messages

You seem to be using dbt-fusion, which is not yet compatible with postgres. Yet in your dependency list you mention dbt-core. Are you sure you have selected the right python-environment?

or are you using the dbt-labs vscode extension? I believe the extension is also built around dbt-fusion. You could try the ‘dbt power-user’ extension instead.
