PostgreSQL
Add PostgreSQL as a decube connection and help your team discover, document and monitor their data assets to drive data-driven insights and decisions.
Connecting to decube is as easy as providing us with credentials to your PostgreSQL database. At a minimum, we require:
usernamepasswordhost addresshost portdatabase name
Connect to PostgreSQL
The
source name will be for you to differentiate and recognize particular sources within the decube application.We strongly encourage you to create a decube read-only user for this credential purpose, which you can follow here.
If access to your database is protected by security measures, we allow for connecting via SSH Tunneling or you could whitelist our IP. See more here.
We highly recommend that you create a Read-Only user for decube. We have prepared a script that you may run on your PostgreSQL database to create this user.
- 1.Create a New User for decube
CREATE ROLE decube WITH LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'a_new_password';
2. Allow connection to the database
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE "your_db_name" TO decube;
3. We need access to information_schema
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA information_schema TO decube;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA information_schema TO decube;
4. You may need to run this per schema that you have based on the default behavior of the schema.
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <schema_name> TO decube;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA TO decube;
If you want all of the tables in all your schemas to be included in decube, run the following SQL script:
DO $do$
DECLARE
sch text;
BEGIN
FOR sch IN SELECT nspname FROM pg_namespace where nspname !~* 'pg|information_schema'
LOOP
EXECUTE format($$ GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA %I TO decube $$, sch);
EXECUTE format($$ GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA %I TO decube $$, sch);
END LOOP;
END;
$do$;
