Hey 👋 I am evaluating Airbyte and more specifically the postgres connector. Before I dive more into this, I am seeing two limitations in the doc that I would need to resolve to make the connector work for my use case: • We are using AWS IAM for RDS for authentication. I am not seeing that as being supported. Is that on the roadmap, or if not, how would I go about adding that functionality to make the connector work for me? • I am not seeing
daterange
as being supported as column type. How would I go about adding that functionality to make the connector work for me?

Hi @Lukas Sandmeir thank you for checking out Airbyte. Correct, we currently support only username/password based authentication for Postgres sources and we don’t have a specific date for adding IAM-based auth support. Regarding
daterange
type - currently it will be treated as a string, meaning that the source connector will encode values as strings and the destinations will receive and interpret values from
daterange
columns as strings. How do you need to see
daterange
in the destinations that you have in mind?
I filed an issue for IAM auth support: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/15015

Ok, that is perfect for the daterange Treating as string is my expected behaviour, I just wanted to make sure it is not dropped or something like this.
Thanks for opening the issue regarding IAM role! Appreciate it!
