PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database management system.
You can read from PostgreSQL as follows, and write to any target supported by Striim. Typically, you will set up data pipelines that read from PostgreSQL in two phases—initial load, followed by continuous replication—as described in Building pipelines from PostgreSQL.
