Is a PS - MSSQL Logical Replication Possible??

From
Erik Serrano
Date:

Dear Masters,

Is it possible to make a logical replica between a postgresql 12 and a sql server 2019?
Technically I want to make a multimaster logical replica to a subscriber and this in turn replicates to a MSSQL 2019 AlwaysOn server...
Is it possible to make this type of structure or impossible?
Please tell me...

Regards and thank you very much

Atte.

I think what you are looking for is a Change Data Capture (CDC) solution.  This is going to require a system in the middle that can speak to both database systems.  Note these implementations can be brittle (replication can fail) and take some tinkering to get working well.

I recommend you look in to tools such as Debezium (https://debezium.io), AWS Data Migration Service (DMS), or maybe some data lake implementation and scripts could be used (apache hudi, data bricks delta lake, or other).


Best regards,

Dan Smith

Yes, I believe that it is not possible to carry out this architecture without an additional layer or application (which I do not know) exists. While it only occurs to me to make an unattended replica (Cron or Daemon linux in origin that generates a flat format dump (.sql) on a specific share and that windows can pick it up and in turn carry out the load through an intermediate job), I don't know... I think it could work... although it is not what I would have liked to do.

In any case, your collaboration is appreciated... and who knows, an issue will open up to be carried out

greetings friends

Hi there,

Replicating between postgresql instances on different platforms (windows and linux) but database should be postgres. In other words, you should use cdc tool like debezium or attunity.

What you indicate is interesting, I am going to find out about the debezium and attunity programs.

I don't know how those two are implemented--but for background on what is possible, you might want to read up on
PostgreSQLlogical replication slots. Essentially, one can write a plug-in which has access to a serialized stream of
allupdates being applied. There are examples which exist. So one could write such a thing that pushes to MSSQL, or one
coulduse such a thing which publishes change stream as JSON, and develop something to push this to MSSQL. Not
suggestingthat *you* have to this--just that it's likely tools are based on this, and it would be good for your
understanding.

Correct, and with dblink on logical slots.  The gotcha is making the logical slots persistent in your network config.

I have done db link from one table to another on my primary and then use that table as the source for processing data
orwhatever. 

But you will have to do custom work.

The most annoying part of this is the MSSQL ::Postgres inconsistencies such as date, numeric and float , bit::bool
types.

Dear all,

Yes, I see that there is a small possibility of realizing this architecture, however I also realize that the consistency is put at risk and that the HH are high.  I am going to deliver a report giving the pros and cons of this architecture.  

Thank you all very much for your contributions.
