Postgres Source

Segment source for Postgresql Databases. Syncs your production postgres database with Segment Objects API.

Schema

A listings table in the products schema that looks like this in your production Postgres...

Id	Listing	Cost
123	1 bedroom	$100
345	2 bedroom	$200
567	3 bedroom	$300

would be queryable in your analytics Redshift or Postgres database like this...

select * from <source-name>.products_listings

Redshift

Id	Listing	Cost
123	1 bedroom	$100
345	2 bedroom	$200
567	3 bedroom	$300

Quick Start

Docker

If you're running docker in production, you can simply run this as a docker image:

$ docker run segment/postgres-source <your-options>

Build and Run

Prerequisites: Go

go get -u github.com/segment-sources/postgres

The first step is to initialize your schema. You can do so by running postgres with --init flag.

postgres --init --write-key=ab-200-1alx91kx --hostname=postgres-test.ksdg31bcms.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com --port=5432 --username=segment --password=cndgks8102baajls --database=segment -- sslmode=prefer

The init step will store the schema of possible tables that the source can sync in schema.json. The query will look for tables across all schemas excluding the ones without a PRIMARY KEY.

In the schema.json example below, our parser found the table public.films where public is the schema name and films the table name with a compound primary key and 6 columns. The values in the primary_keys list have to be present in the columns list. The column list is used to generate SELECT statements, you can filter out some fields that you don't want to sync with Segment by removing them from the list.

{
	"public": {
		"films": {
			"primary_keys": [
				"code",
				"title"
			],
			"columns": [
				"code",
				"title",
				"did",
				"date_prod",
				"kind",
				"len"
			]
		}
	}
}

Segment's Objects API requires a unique identifier in order to properly sync your tables, the PRIMARY KEY is used as the identifier. Your tables may also have multiple primary keys, in that case we'll concatenate the values in one string joined with underscores.

Scan

postgres --write-key=ab-200-1alx91kx --hostname=postgres-test.ksdg31bcms.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com --port=5432 --username=segment --password=cndgks8102baajls --database=segment --sslmode=prefer

Example Run:

INFO[0000] Scan started                                  schema=public table=films
DEBU[0000] Executing query: SELECT "code", "title", "did", "date_prod", "kind", "len" FROM "public"."films"
DEBU[0000] Received Row                                  row=map[did:1 date_prod:<nil> kind:<nil> len:<nil> code:1     title:title] schema=public table=films
INFO[0000] Scan finished                                 schema=public table=films
