I use node-red to create an Api from a server. I want to read and send data via http. I use the browser-based programming method. I want to send data from a postgresql database. I installed the package node-red-contrib-postgres-multi. I don´t know how to put data into the database and how to read data from the database, because I cannot find examples.
Does anybody knows, how I can do that?
You can use postgrestor postgrestor package where you can define query or data modification statement directly in node window. It also allows parametrized queries via template engine.
The problem I've encountered is working with more than one db instance in the same flow but if you need only one db instance connection it should work for you.

One of ours statistician is stuck trying to read data from mongoDB using SAS.
In my experience connecting mongo to other languages always require a native driver, but in this case I've found that is only possible using ODBC.
I've tried to find a better way to connect this two software but the only idea that came to my mind is to expose mongo via webservice.
Any of you have a better solution to connect SAS to mongodb?
After some tries we found that using webservice is the most convenient way to solve mongodb access in ours case.
Some statistician required to load data on laptop from outside the corporate network so we decided to extend our web service to expose some more informations and access it in SAS like this https://blogs.sas.com/content/sasdummy/2016/12/02/json-libname-engine-sas/
Thanks all for the clarification regarding ODBC, to me was a real surprise that is still the preferred way to load data in enterprise environments.
I have some tables from Postgres database to be integrated into Salesforce as external objects. I went through some video tutorials and documentations where I was recommended to use Salesforce Connect which supports providers with "OData" protocol support. Is it possible to integrate Postgres tables into Salesforce as external objects without Salesforce Connect?
Thanks.
Be careful with the phrase "external objects". To me, the use of those particular words implies the specific implementation of external data access/federation delivered with Salesforce Connect. I don't believe that there is any alternative if your goal is to create "real" external objects (named "objectname__x") within Salesforce.
There are, though, Salesforce integration solutions from the likes of Progress, Jitterbit, Mulesoft, and Informatica and others that can be used to access PostgreSQL, with varying degrees of coding being required. You won't get "external objects", but you will be able to access data residing off-cloud in a PostgreSQL database from your Salesforce system.
Hope this helps.
Currently the way to integrate data from external storages (Postgres in your case) without Salesforce Connect is implement your custom logic for synchronization using REST or SOAP API, Apex classes and triggers, Salesforce Workflows and Flows. Also you will need to implement appropriate interfaces on side of your data storage. Complexity of all these steps depends on complexity of your existing data model and infrastructure around it.
I have a REST API around a PostgreSQL database, the API was built using the Django REST Framework (python). I have access to the PostgreSQL database and the API, but I'm not allowed to modify the django/python code.
My first approach is to make, kind of, an HTTP POST request via a trigger every time a new record is created in PostgreSQL. I found this but seems like it's not the best way to do what I need.
In the Neo4j side, I'm thinking of a periodic HTTP GET request to the API from within a cypher function, but does not exist such thing.
You should use the APOC procedures for integrating with other DBs via JDBC. PostgreSQL is supported.
You can also use APOC procedures like apoc.periodic.schedule or apoc.periodic.countdown to periodically execute a Cypher query in the background.
On the side of my Gooddata project, I maintain a small PostgreSQL database that contains a few tables.
I would like to be able to integrate both my ETL processes using the same tool, and it seems to me cloudconnect would be the easiest way, since I already have my whole GoodData ETL in it.
Here are the ways I tried to do it without success:
I tried to have a look in the documentation, and it seems to me that all the functionalities of CloverETL that enabled this (DBOutput, PostGreSQLDataWriter) are not available in Cloudconnect.
I managed to connect to the Agile Datawarehouse Service (Database attached to GoodData), but it seems that only the ADS database is able to understand the request:
COPY MyDataBaseTable (field1,field2) FROM LOCAL '${DATA_TMP_DIR}/CIforADS.csv'
even when I adapt the syntax to PostgreSQL because the dynamic addressing I use here does not seem to work.
Is there any way to proceed that I'm missing? Can anyone think of a workaround?
In general this could be achieved by using of "DBExecute" component, but
I'm not sure if I understand it well - do you want to load data into your own Postgres instance using CloudConnect?
I have to create an Xpage web application which directly inputs data in a PostgreSql database. I've never worked with a PostgreSql database so I have absolutely no idea on how to approach this.
The application will be used through a browser if that matters.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
or, if you do not want to use the extLib for this purpose only, take a look at http://www.eknori.de/2011-07-03/using-mysql-data-in-xpages/ The article describes, how to access MySQL, but you can use the same code even for PstGreSQL with the correct JDBC drive.
The article also contains a link to OpenNTF where you can download the full source code.
You need to use a JDBC connection to connect to PostgreSQL. Use the extension library. This library contains a demo application which connects to a sql database using JDBC. Please take a look at this question : How do I access SQL from XPages.
