Configuring Access to a Postgres Database

If you want to use Precision Bridge to extract data from or push data to Postgres then you must configure the path to the Postgres JDBC driver on the Precision Bridge Configuration Screen.

The Configuration screen is presented when you select File->Configure->Application from the menu.

From the Precision Bridge configuration screen, first, check the 'Support Postgres Data Source' checkbox, then browse to the location of the PostgreSQL JDBC driver (e.g. postgresql-42.3.1.jar)

The PostgreSQL JDBC driver required to connect to a Postgres database is not distributed with Precision Bridge.  If not present on your local machine, this file can be downloaded from the PostgreSQL Website (PostgreSQL JDBC Download).  This driver will support Postgres 8.2 through to 14.

Precision Bridge requires Postgres version 14 or later to support archiving or replication projects.
