What is PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system that uses and extends the SQL language combined with many features that safely store and scale the most complicated data workloads. The origins of PostgreSQL date back to 1986 as part of the POSTGRES project at the University of California at Berkeley and has more than 30 years of active development on the core platform.

PostgreSQL has earned a strong reputation for its proven architecture, reliability, data integrity, robust feature set, extensibility, and the dedication of the open source community behind the software to consistently deliver performant and innovative solutions. PostgreSQL runs on all major operating systems, has been ACID-compliant since 2001, and has powerful add-ons such as the popular PostGIS geospatial database extender. It is no surprise that PostgreSQL has become the open source relational database of choice for many people and organisations.

Getting started with using PostgreSQL has never been easier – pick a project you want to build, and let PostgreSQL safely and robustly store your data.

Getting Started

In order to start, we will show several examples of how to connect the excel file and read data from the excel worksheet. ZappySys includes an SSIS Excel File Source Connector that will help you in reading excel sheet data from Excel File. Here we are showing you is, How to Load Excel File data in PostgreSQL using SSIS PostgreSQL Destination.

Getting Started – Read Excel File in SSIS

Let´s start with an example. Let’s use our SSIS Excel File Source Connector, we will read data from Microsoft Excel File.

1. First of all, Drag and drop Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox and double click it to edit.
2. Now Drag and Drop ZS Excel Source from the SSIS Toolbox.
3. Let’s Double Click on Excel Source for edit and select New Connection and click on New button.
   

   Edit Excel Source

4. Now select the excel file path in and test connection in opened excel connection manager window and click on OK.
   

   Select Excel File For Connection

5. Let’s read the Excel Workbook data using table mode and select sheet to read data from that excel sheet.
   

   Load Excel Sheet Data using Access mode as a Table

6.  We can also read Excel Workbook using SQL Query mode and filter the data.

8.  That’s it we are ready to load excel file data to PostgreSQL.

Load Excel File data into PostgreSQL

Now let’s look at how to load data into target like PostgreSQL database Table.

1. First of all, let’s create the PostgreSQL Database Connection From Connection Manager.
2. Right click in connection Window and select New Connection.
   

   Connection Manager Window: Create New Connection

3. Select the ZS-POSTGRESQL Connection type from the Connection Manager Window.
   

   Select ZS-PostgreSQL Connection
