PostgreSQL - Credentials

This page describes how to create a PostgreSQL - Credentials data source. This data source stores the connection information required to access PostgreSQL and can be reused across multiple PostgreSQL integration tasks.

Use Cases

• Manage host, port, and account information centrally for multiple PostgreSQL sync tasks
• Avoid re-entering the same database connection settings in every task
• Update all dependent tasks in one place when the database endpoint or account changes

Create PostgreSQL - Credentials

1. Navigate to Data > Data Sources and click Create Data Source.
2. Select PostgreSQL - Credentials as the service type, then fill in the connection details:

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	A descriptive name for this data source
Hostname	Yes	PostgreSQL server hostname or IP address
Port Number	Yes	PostgreSQL server port (default: 5432)
DB Username	Yes	Username used to access PostgreSQL
DB Password	Yes	Password for the PostgreSQL user
Database Name	Yes	The source database name
SSL Mode	No	SSL connection mode: disable, require, verify-ca, or verify-full (default: disable)

3. Click Test Connectivity to validate the connection. If the test succeeds, click OK to save the data source.

Usage Recommendations

• Use a dedicated PostgreSQL account instead of sharing one with application workloads
• If you plan to create CDC Only or Snapshot + CDC tasks, make sure the account has replication-related privileges
• Verify network access, WAL configuration, and permissions before creating downstream tasks

Next Steps

After creating this data source, you can use it to create a PostgreSQL Integration Task.
