Commcare → PostgreSQL
AI-first ETL from Commcare into PostgreSQL. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Commcare into PostgreSQL
Datrise syncs Commcare's records, events, and configuration objects into PostgreSQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in jsonb columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamptz.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional declarative range partitioning by load date for high-volume tables. PostgreSQL folds unquoted identifiers to lowercase, so Datrise normalizes mixed-case source fields to snake_case.
Ideal for operational analytics and application backends that need fresh, queryable copies of your data.
Endpoints
Commcare: SaaS or API data source for analytics and warehouse sync.

How Commcare entities map to PostgreSQL
| Commcare entity | PostgreSQL object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| records | commcare_records | id PK · custom fields → jsonb columns |
| events | commcare_events | timestamptz events |
| configuration objects | commcare_configuration_objects | id PK · linked to commcare_records |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Commcare's custom fields in PostgreSQL?
Flexible values are stored as jsonb columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native PostgreSQL types.
How does the Commcare to PostgreSQL sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
