IBM IBM Db2 to PostgreSQL Integration

How Datrise loads IBM IBM Db2 into PostgreSQL

Datrise syncs IBM IBM Db2's tables, rows, schemas, indexes, primary keys, and change data 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.

How IBM IBM Db2 entities map to PostgreSQL

IBM IBM Db2 entity	PostgreSQL object	Notes
tables	`db2_tables`	id PK · custom fields → jsonb columns
rows	`db2_rows`	id PK · linked to db2_tables
schemas	`db2_schemas`	id PK · linked to db2_tables
indexes	`db2_indexes`	id PK · linked to db2_tables

FAQ

How does Datrise handle IBM IBM Db2'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 IBM IBM Db2 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.
