To add PostgreSQL as a data source, go to Settings → Workspace → Integrations → Datasources and click New Datasource. Select PostgreSQL and fill in the connection parameters below, then click Test & Save Datasource.

Connection parameters

Field	Description
Connection Name	A label for this connection within Datachecks
Host	The server name hosting your database

Username	The dedicated user for Datachecks
Password	The password for the Datachecks user
Database	The name of the PostgreSQL database you want to connect to

Setup

Run the following SQL on your PostgreSQL instance to create a dedicated user for Datachecks.

CREATE SCHEMA datachecks_tmp;
CREATE ROLE datachecks WITH LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'YourSecurePassword';
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA datachecks_tmp TO datachecks;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <myschema> TO datachecks;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA <myschema> TO datachecks;

The datachecks_tmp schema is used for temporary processing and keeps Datachecks operations isolated from your production data.
