Postgres

Postgres is an open source, object-relational database system that provides reliability, data integrity, and correctness.

ingestr supports Postgres as both a source and destination.

URI format

The URI format for Postgres is as follows:

postgresql://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database-name>?sslmode=<sslmode>

URI parameters:

• username: the user name to connect to the database
• password: the password for the user
• host: the host address of the database server
• port: the port number the database server is listening on, the default is 5432
• database-name: the name of the database to connect to
• sslmode: optional, the SSL mode to use when connecting to the database

The same URI structure can be used both for sources and destinations. You can read more about SQLAlchemy's Postgres dialect here.
