PostgreSQL

Before you begin

Before you begin, gather this connection information:

Name of the server that hosts the database you want to connect to
Database name
User name and password
Are you connecting to an SSL server?

Connect and set up the workspace

Launch Syntho and select Connect to a database, or under Create workspace, select PostgreSQL. For a complete list of data connections, select More under From database. Then do the following:

Enter the name of the server that hosts the database that you want to connect to.
Enter the database name to connect to the contained database.
Enter the port number.
Enter user name and password.
Select the Require SSL check box when connecting to an SSL server.
Select Create Workspace. If Syntho can't make the connection, verify that your credentials are correct. If you still can't connect, your computer is having trouble locating the server. Contact your network administrator or database administrator.

Considerations & Limitations

For JSON and XML columns, turn off validation in target and/or enable ALTER permission for user.

Supported data types

This table outlines the support and limitations for various data types in PostgreSQL when using connectors. It indicates what's supported per generator type, and if any additional processing is performed by Syntho to successfully generate and write the data.
