Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Data Analysts: Who need to quickly run SQL queries against a PostgreSQL database to retrieve data for analysis.
- Developers: Looking for a simple way to trigger database queries without the need for complex setups.
- Business Analysts: Who require ad-hoc data retrieval to support decision-making processes.
- Database Administrators: Needing a manual trigger to execute specific queries for maintenance or reporting purposes.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need for a manual trigger to execute SQL queries on a PostgreSQL database. Users can initiate data retrieval without needing to set up automated processes, making it easier to gather insights or perform tasks on demand.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts with a manual trigger node, which allows users to initiate the process by clicking an 'execute' button.
    2. PostgreSQL Query Execution: Upon triggering, the workflow executes a predefined SQL query (SELECT * from sometable;) on the connected PostgreSQL database.
    3. Data Retrieval: The results of the SQL query are fetched and can be utilized for further processing or analysis.
  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Modifying the SQL Query: Change the query in the PostgreSQL node to suit specific data retrieval needs (e.g., SELECT * FROM another_table WHERE condition;).
    - Adding More Nodes: Incorporate additional nodes for data processing, transformation, or integration with other services after the PostgreSQL node.
    - Adjusting Node Positions: Change the layout of the nodes in the workflow for better visualization and organization.
    - Changing Credentials: Update the PostgreSQL credentials to connect to a different database if necessary.
