Loading Data from PostgreSQL

This section describes how you can connect PostgreSQL with Exasol and then load data. The driver for PostgreSQL is pre-installed with Exasol. You can see the driver details in the EXAoperation (Configuration > Software > JDBC Drivers tab).

To view details about data type mappings or to migrate data, see the PostgreSQL to Exasol migration script in our GitHub repository.

Run Statement

Run the following statement to create a connection.

CREATE OR REPLACE CONNECTION JDBC_POSTGRESQL
 TO 'jdbc:postgresql://192.168.99.100:5432/my_db'
 USER 'username'
 IDENTIFIED BY 'Exasoltest';

Run the following statement to test the connection.

 SELECT * FROM 
 (IMPORT FROM JDBC AT JDBC_POSTGRESQL
   STATEMENT 'select ''Connection works'' '
  );

Load Data

You can use the IMPORT statement to load data using the connection you created above. IMPORT supports loading data from a table or a SQL statement.

To view details about data type mappings or to migrate data, see the PostgreSQL to Exasol migration script in our GitHub repository.
