The code snippet I showed is not tied to PyQt5, it is using psycopg2 and
was just a way of seeing if you could connect to the database via Python
and get results.

The issue seems to be with the QT driver for the Postgres. This is
supplied by QT itself:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt5/api/qtsql/qsqldatabase.html

Not sure if a PyQt5 upgrade will by itself do an upgrade of the drivers.
That may require an update of QT5.
