ZappySys provides high-performance drag and drop connectors for PostgreSQL Integration. In this post you will see how to Execute SQL query against PostgreSQL in SSIS, in various SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT, DROP, COPY, CREATE, etc using\u00a0PostgreSQL Execute SQL Task\u00a0can be used to execute DDL and DML statements for PostgreSQL without needing any extra driver. PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source relational database with a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.<\/p>\n

In nutshell,\u00a0this post will focus on how to\u00a0Execute SQL query against PostgreSQL in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n

Prerequisite<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. First, you will need to have SSIS installed<\/li>\n
  2. Secondly, make sure to have SSDT<\/li>\n
  3. Thirdly, You have obtained PostgreSQL Credential.<\/li>\n

    What is PostgreSQL?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    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\u00a0POSTGRES<\/a>\u00a0project at the University of California at Berkeley and has more than 30 years of active development on the core platform.<\/p>\n

    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\u00a0all major operating systems<\/a>, has been\u00a0ACID<\/a>-compliant since 2001, and has powerful add-ons such as the popular\u00a0PostGIS<\/a>\u00a0geospatial database extender. It is no surprise that PostgreSQL has become the open source relational database of choice for many people and organisations.<\/p>\n

    Getting started<\/a>\u00a0with using PostgreSQL has never been easier \u2013 pick a project you want to build, and let PostgreSQL safely and robustly store your data.<\/p>\n

      Let’s start with an example. In this tutorial, we will learn how to Create and Drop table using SQL query against PostgreSQL server using ZS PostgreSQL ExecuteSQL Task.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In order to connect to the PostgreSQL Database from SSIS, you will need Credentials. Ask your SysAdmin or responsible person to provide that to you.<\/li>\n
      2. Once you finished the above steps, Open Visual Studio and Create New SSIS Package Project.<\/li>\n
      3. In Visual Studio, drag and drop the ZS PostgreSQL ExecuteSql Task in the design surface.\n

      4. We need a PostgreSQL Database connection. Click here<\/a> to create a connection.<\/li>\n
      5. Now, double click on ZS PostgreSQL ExecuteSql Task to configure it.<\/li>\n
      6. In the PostgreSQL ExecuteSql Task, add the following SQL code to DROP a table if it exists and CREATE a table named pg_equipment in the SQL Statement section.
        \nYou can replace the table name from the following code.<\/p>\n
        DROP TABLE IF EXISTS playground_equip;\r\nCREATE TABLE pg_equipment (\r\n\tequip_id serial PRIMARY KEY,\r\n\ttype varchar (50) NOT NULL,\r\n\tcolor varchar (25) NOT NULL,\r\n\tlocation varchar(25) check (location in ('north', 'south', 'west', 'east', 'northeast', 'southeast', 'southwest', 'northwest')),\r\n\tinstall_date date\r\n);<\/pre>\n
