You can use Azure Database for PostgreSQL as an output for data that is relational in nature or for applications that depend on the content being hosted in a relational database. Azure Stream Analytics jobs write to an existing table in PostgreSQL Database. The table schema must exactly match the fields and their types in your job's output.
Azure Database for PostgreSQL powered by the PostgreSQL community edition is available in three deployment options:
- Single Server
- Flexible Server (Preview)
- Hyperscale (Citus)
For more information about Azure Database for PostgreSQL please visit the: What is Azure Database for PostgreSQL documentation.
