PostgreSQL

This is the implementation of the PostgreSQL data handler for MindsDB.

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source, object-relational database system that uses and extends the SQL language combined with many features that safely store and scale the most complicated data workloads.

​

Implementation

The required arguments to establish a connection are as follows:

• user is the database user.
• password is the database password.
• host is the host name, IP address, or URL.
• port is the port used to make TCP/IP connection.
• database is the database name.

​

Usage

In order to make use of this handler and connect to the PostgreSQL database in MindsDB, the following syntax can be used:

CREATE DATABASE psql_datasource
WITH
    ENGINE = 'postgres',
    PARAMETERS = {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 5432,
    "database": "postgres",
    "user": "postgres",
    "password": "password"
    };

You can use this established connection to query your table as follows:

SELECT *
FROM psql_datasource.demo_table
LIMIT 10;
