Import data from Microsoft Azure PostgreSQL
Zoho DataPrep supports importing data from Microsoft Azure under cloud database category. Azure is a cloud computing platform operated by Microsoft that provides access, management, and development of applications and services.
Before looking into how to import data, let's take a look at the pre-requisites to connect to the PostgreSQL database.
Prerequisites for PostgreSQL
Please ensure the following conditions are met before proceeding with connecting to your PostgreSQL.
1. Provide database read permissions to the Zoho DataPrep server.
2. Ensure you have the correct login credentials for your database. As a best practice, try connecting to your target database from the Zoho DataPrep server, using the native database management software available for the respective database.
Enable remote connections
Follow the steps below to enable remote connections:
- Open the file pg_hba.conf found under the PostgreSQL_Home/data/folder. (<PostgreSQL_Home> refers to the directory where PostgreSQL database is installed.)
- Add the following line, and save the file.
host all all <IP address> trust
Replace <IP address> with the IP address of the Zoho DataPrep server. The IP address must be mentioned along with the subnet mask. For example: 192.168.1.1/24.
- Open the file postgresql.conf found under the same <PostgreSQL_Home>/data/ folder.
listen_address = '<IP address>'
Replace <IP address> with the IP address of the Zoho DataPrep server. For example: 192.168.1.1.
