Hey guys, is there any way to create a destination database in postgres while setting up connectors?
h
Hey Srivallabh is there some problem you are facing while creating a destination ?
s
Not exactly, but while creating a destination, when we specify the destination database, is there a mechanism which creates the named database and then syncs the source database there?

Hi @Srivallabh, the way I do it, is immediately after creating a connection (via API) I trigger the first sync (again via API). If you are asking for a step where we can force the schema creation, without downloading the data, yes I believe that would be useful.
s
If we could just give the database name, and airbyte would check whether the database of the given name exists at the destination, if yes, then directly syncs data, else creates a new database with the given name,
s
I don’t think we have this functionality, could you create an issue for it?
s
Sure, could you please share the template with me
