I am a new Carto Builder (enterprise) User and I am trying to connect a Postgres9.6.4 / PostgiS 2.3.1. table to my datasets.

Here is my script that should do the trick but I receive an extra long answer with html embeded code in it answering ERROR 500.

curl import table line API Error 500 Answer

I tried to query the ?import/api to see if there was anything pending or processing but nothing.

Is PostgreSQL 9.6 supported ? PostGIS 2.3.1 ?

The table is 500Mo large, points, WGS 84.

  • My table have 2millions rows. Thank you @ramiroaznar I already opened a ticket there. Seems 9.6 is not supported yet. I will have to try downgrade the postgres instance and then try again.

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ 
   "connector": {
    "provider": "postgres",
   "connection": {
      "server": "SERVERNAME",
      "database": "DB_NAME", 
      "username": "USERNAME", 
      "password": "PASSWORD"
     }, 
  "table" : "MY_TABLE"
   }, 

  "interval": 3600}' "https://documentation.carto.com/api/v1/imports/?
api_key=3102343c42da0f1ffe6014594acea8b1c4e7fd64"

I installed git bash, wrote the entire command as above in a text editor and pasted it at once into git bash. Note of advice, it's a lot more useful in the long run to modify the command to include an interval for the data to sync with your Postgres DB.

My table had too many rows (over a million). Carto does not support such large table. You need to split your table and merge in Carto SQL.

Thank you all for the support and answers
