Link to PostgreSQL/SQLServer

Table 1 lists the parameters for creating a link to PostgreSQL/SQLServer. KingBase and GaussDB can be connected through the PostgreSQL connector. The source and destination data sources supported by migration jobs are the same as those for PostgreSQL..

Do not change the password or user when the job is running. If you do so, the password will not take effect immediately and the job will fail.

Parameter

Description

Example Value

Name

Driver Version

Different types of relational databases adapt to different drivers. For details, see How Do I Obtain a Driver?

-

Fetch Size

(Optional) Displayed when you click Show Advanced Attributes.

Number of rows obtained by each request. Set this parameter based on the data source and the job's data size. If the value is either too large or too small, the job may run for a long time.

1000

Link Attributes

(Optional) Click Add to add the JDBC connector attributes of multiple specified data sources. For details, see the JDBC connector document of the corresponding database.

The following are some examples:
  • connectTimeout=60 and socketTimeout=300: When a large amount of data needs to be migrated or the entire table is retrieved using query statements, the migration fails due to connection timeout. In this case, you can customize the connection timeout interval (s) and socket timeout interval (s) to prevent failures caused by timeout.
  • useCursorFetch=false: By default, useCursorFetch is enabled, indicating that the JDBC connector communicates with relational databases using a binary protocol. Some third-party systems may have compatibility issues, causing migration time conversion errors. In this case, you can disable this function.
  • trustServerCertificate=true: A PKIX error may be reported during the creation of a secure connection. You are advised to set this parameter to true.

sslmode=require

Reference Sign

(Optional) Delimiter between the names of the referenced tables or columns. For details, see the product documentation of the corresponding database.
