Introduction

This project automates the process of taking structured run results and inserting them directly into a PostgreSQL table. It solves the challenge of manually exporting, transforming, and loading records by providing a direct and repeatable pipeline. It is designed for engineers, developers, and analysts who want to maintain clean, synchronized databases.

Automated Data Insertion Engine

• Fetches records from a specified execution ID, dataset ID, or directly provided rows.
• Inserts data into your PostgreSQL table using secure connection credentials.
• Suitable for lightweight workflows where result sets remain reasonably small.
• Can also process webhook-triggered data loads.
• Maintains consistent data structure for downstream analytics.

Features

Feature	Description
Direct PostgreSQL Inserts	Pushes structured records into a remote PostgreSQL table seamlessly.
Multiple Data Input Modes	Supports execution ID, dataset ID, or direct row input.
Automated Fetching	Retrieves and processes all result entries without manual intervention.
Webhook Compatibility	Can be triggered automatically upon workflow completion.
Flexible Credentials Injection	Accepts full connection configuration for secure database access.
Clean JSON Processing	Ensures stable, structured data handling for smooth database ingestion.

Use Cases

• Data engineers insert workflow results into PostgreSQL so they can build real-time analytics dashboards.
• Automation teams use it to move structured pipeline outputs into relational storage for future processing.
• Businesses synchronize small batches of operational data into central databases to maintain consistency.
• Developers quickly test database ingestion behaviour without writing complex ETL scripts.
• Analysts load curated datasets into SQL warehouses to streamline reporting workflows.

FAQs

Q: Can this handle very large datasets? A: It is optimized for smaller result sets. Heavy datasets may require batching or a more robust ETL architecture.

Q: What happens if the process crashes during insertion? A: The workflow restarts and fetches all records again, ensuring a clean and consistent state.

Q: Can I insert custom rows instead of fetching results? A: Yes. You can provide an array of rows directly in the input object.

Q: Do I need special database permissions? A: Ensure your PostgreSQL user has INSERT rights on the target table.
