How to Copy Data from PostgreSQL to Access - Step-by-Step

.mdbor.accdbfile
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click a transformation group and choose New to start the workflow.
3. Configure Reader
- Double-click the reader to open Reader Properties
- Select the PostgreSQL connection
- Choose a table or enter a SQL SELECT query for the rows you want to copy
4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer to open Writer Properties
- Select the Access connection
- Choose the destination table and define the insert mode: append, replace, or truncate
5. Map and Format Fields
