  • 1.  CP4D - PostgreSQL Connection

    Posted Fri February 07, 2020 03:50 PM
    Hello!

    I am exploring the 'Connections' on CP4D. I am trying to create a new connection for PostgresSQL database. I don't find an option to select in the connection type. Any reason why I cannot create PostgresSQL connection?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    PostgresSQL is by default not supported as a global connection (unless you add a custom driver).
    Please start a Analytics project and check if you can add it from there:

    Thanks

    Thomasz - Thanks for the link. I am using an analytics project and I cannot create a  Postgres shared connection but I can create a Postgres Connection asset. I cannot tell but if this is a bug or implemented as part of a design. Could you please explain the differences? Please find the screenshots attached.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    At this point you will be able to add PostgreSQL connections to a project, but you can not Publish it as global catalog, unless you define is using custom JDBC connector.


    See below:



    The top connection uses PostgreSQL driver and can only be added to catalog (if you have WKC), the second connection is using JDBC PostgreSQL connector and can be used as a global connection.

    Thanks
