PostgreSQL

This quickstart describes how to create a PostgreSQL connection.

Create a connection to PostgreSQL

To ingest data from PostgreSQL using Upsolver, you must first create a connection that provides the appropriate credentials to access your database.

Your connection is persistent, so you won't need to re-create it for every job. The connection is also shared with other users in your organization.

Here’s the code for creating a connection to PostgreSQL:

// Syntax
CREATE POSTGRES CONNECTION <connection_identifier> 
    CONNECTION_STRING = '<connection_string>' 
    USER_NAME = '<user_name>'
    PASSWORD = '<password>'; 
    
// Example
CREATE POSTGRES CONNECTION my_postgres_connection
    CONNECTION_STRING = 'jdbc:postgresql://cdc2.c02eyuedjkh9.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/auction'
    USER_NAME = 'your username'
    PASSWORD = 'your password'

After you complete this step, you should see the my_postgres_connection connection in your navigation tree.
