When to use PostgreSQL
Use PostgreSQL when:- Data needs to support analytics or reporting
- Your team already uses PostgreSQL as a central data store
- Extracted records need to be joined with other datasets
- Data volume is too large for spreadsheet workflows
- Recurring exports need a database destination
Setup workflow
1
Prepare the destination table
Define the columns that should receive Octoparse fields.
2
Check access details
Confirm host, port, database name, user credentials, and network access.
3
Map task fields
Match each extracted field to the correct PostgreSQL column.
4
Run a test export
Verify that records are inserted correctly and that special characters display as expected.
5
Schedule or automate
Enable recurring export only after the test output is correct.
