Connect your Postgres database to a spreadsheet in Row Zero and import data straight into a blazingly fast spreadsheet.

Connect Row Zero to PostgreSQL

In Row Zero click on the 'connections' icon in the upper right-hand corner and then click the button to '+ Add connection.'Databricks new data source screen in Row ZeroDatabricks add new connection screen in Row Zero

The connection requires 6 pieces of information defined below.

  1. Name - This field can be anything that helps identify the data source being connected. (e.g. "Production Data" or "Product Metrics")
  2. Host - This is the PostgreSQL address that typically takes the form of a string like 'database.mydomain.com'.
  3. Port - This is always 5432.
  4. User - This is the username for your PostgreSQL database.
  5. Password - The password used to log into your PostgreSQL Database.
  6. Database - The name of the PostgreSQL database being connected to.PostgreSQL creds name in Row Zero interface

Once all the information is entered, hit 'Test connection' to ensure the information is correct. If the test connection icon turns green and says 'Connected', proceed by clicking on '+ Add Source.'

Write a query to import data

Now that Postgres is connected to a spreadsheet in Row Zero, write a SQL query to pull data into the spreadsheet. First select the 'Schema' from the drop down. Write a query in the query editor. The easiest query to write is the 'select *' statement, which pulls in the entire table. Example:

select * from TABLENAME

Row Zero is equipped to handle large data sets and will easily ingest the entirety of a table. Write more complicated queries to pull in various subsets of data stored in a Postgres Database. All results will be displayed in the connected data table in the spreadsheet.

Dynamically filter, sort, chart, and pivot Postgres

Now that Row Zero is connected to Postgres, you can use Row Zero as a powerful postgres GUI to view, slice, and analyze postgres data. Leverage all the features and functions of spreadsheets to filter, sort, pivot, and chart Postgres data instead of writing complex SQL queries, waiting for run times, or exporting postgres to CSV.
