SSIS tutorial: Migrating MariaDB data to PostgreSQL

ZappySys Team — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 12:01:24 +0000

Introduction

In our previous post, we explored how to read and write PostgreSQL data using the ZappySys PostgreSQL Source and Destination connectors for SSIS. In this article, you will learn how to connect MariaDB to PostgreSQL using ZappySys SSIS PowerPack and transfer data between both systems.

We will demonstrate a practical ETL pattern using ZappySys ODBC/JDBC connectivity to extract data from MariaDB and load it into PostgreSQL within SSIS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

First, you will need to have SSIS installed
Secondly, make sure to have SSDT
Thirdly, access credentials for both MariaDB and PostgreSQL
Finally, do not forget to install ZappySys SSIS PowerPack and ZappySys ODBC PowerPack

Steps

Configure MariaDB Connection Using ODBC (JDBC Bridge)

Since MariaDB connectivity is handled via JDBC, we will use the ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver to expose it as an ODBC data source.

Visit the official MariaDB website.
Download the latest MariaDB JDBC driver.
Save the .jar file locally, for example: D:\Zappysys\drivers\mariadb-java-client-3.5.7.jar
Download and install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack if not already installed.
Open ODBC Data Sources (64-bit).
Open ODBC Data Sources
Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver:
Create a User data source
Configure the JDBC Connection. Fill in the connection details
- Connection String jdbc:mariadb://{host-name}:{port}/{database-name}
- JDBC Driver File D:\Zappysys\drivers\mariadb-java-client-3.5.7.jar
- Username root
- Password ********
- Connection Parameters[]
Click Test Connection. If configured correctly, you should see a success message.

Zappysys JDBC – MariaDB
You can also use the Preview tab to select the table and execute SQL queries. For advanced SQL examples, refer to the JDBC Bridge documentation.

Click OK to save the configuration.
Run the SSIS package. If everything is configured correctly, the data will be transferred from MariaDB to PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL Destination – Final result

Alternative Option — Using Upsert Destination

An alternative destination component is the Upsert Destination; you can replace it with the PostgreSQL destination. You can preview data from the element, select the options to insert or/and update, and more.

Replace the PostgreSQL Destination with the Upsert Destination.
Select your PostgreSQL connection.
Choose the target table.
Choose Insert or/and Update action.n
Map the columns.
Select the primary key column(s).

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.
