Connect your Postgres
Setting up the Postgres destination connector involves setting up Postgres entities (user, grants) through Postgres access, and configuring the Postgres destination connector using Whaly UI.
This page describes the step-by-step process of setting up the Postgres destination connector.
To set up the Postgres destination connector, you first need to connect to your Postgres server to run some SQL queries.
CREATE USER whaly_bi WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'some_password_here';
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE database_name to whaly_bi;
\c database_name
GRANT SELECT ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO whaly_bi;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO whaly_bi;
If you're using a schema other than
public, run this command to grant usage permissions to Whaly:GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA schema_name TO whaly_bi;
To make sure that future tables you add to the public schema are also available to the
whaly_bi user, run these commands:ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON tables TO whaly_bi;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON sequences TO whaly_bi;
Depending on your setup, the preceding commands may need to be altered. If another user or role is creating tables that the
whaly_bi user needs future permissions for, you must specify a target role or user to apply the whaly_bi user's permission grants for:ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR USER <USER_WHO_CREATES_TABLES> IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON tables TO whaly_bi;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR USER <USER_WHO_CREATES_TABLES> IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON sequences TO whaly_bi;
-- or
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE <ROLE_THAT_CREATES_TABLES> IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON tables TO whaly_bi;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE <ROLE_THAT_CREATES_TABLES> IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON sequences TO whaly_bi;
Navigate to the Whaly UI to set up Postgres as a destination. You can authenticate using username/password.
