PostgreSQL connection

To access your data in PostgreSQL, create a connection asset for it.

PostgreSQL is an open source and customizable object-relational database.

Supported versions

PostgreSQL 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

Create a connection to PostgreSQL

To create the connection asset, you need the following connection details:

Database name
Hostname or IP address
Port number
Username and password
SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

Select Server proxy to access the PostgreSQL data source through a server proxy. Depending on its setup, a server proxy can provide load balancing, increased security, and privacy. The server proxy settings are independent of the authentication credentials and the personal or shared credentials selection. The server proxy settings cannot be stored in a vault.

Proxy hostname or IP address: The proxy URL. For example, https://proxy.example.com.
Server proxy port: The port number to connect to the proxy server. For example, 8080 or 8443.
The Proxy username and Proxy password fields are optional.

For Credentials and Certificates, you can use secrets if a vault is configured for the platform and the service supports vaults. For information, see Using secrets from vaults in connections.

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance

This connection is FIPS-compliant and can be used on a FIPS-enabled cluster.
