All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Hubplanner connector in Airbyte

Connect to Hubplanner or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up Postgres destination for your extracted Hubplanner data

Select Postgres destination where you want to import data from your Hubplanner source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Hubplanner to Postgres destination in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Hubplanner to Postgres destination Manually

Begin by logging into your Hub Planner account. Navigate to the section containing the data you wish to export. Use the built-in export functionality to download the data as a CSV or Excel file. This option is typically found under the 'Reports' or 'Data Export' section. Ensure that you select all necessary fields and records to be included in the export.

Open the exported CSV or Excel file in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Carefully review the data for any inconsistencies, duplicates, or missing values. Clean the data by correcting errors, filling in missing values, and removing any unnecessary columns or rows. Save the cleaned file, preferably in CSV format, as it is more compatible with database import processes.

Ensure that your PostgreSQL server is set up and running. If not already installed, download and install PostgreSQL from the official website. Create a new database or choose an existing one where the data will be imported. Use a PostgreSQL client like pgAdmin or the command-line interface to manage your database.

Analyze the structure of your CSV file to determine the appropriate table schema in PostgreSQL. Create a table in your chosen database that matches the structure of the CSV file. Use SQL commands to define the table name, columns, data types, and any constraints such as primary keys or unique indexes.

```sql
CREATE TABLE hubplanner_data (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255),
start_date DATE,
end_date DATE,
hours NUMERIC,
-- Add additional columns as needed
);
```

Use the PostgreSQL `COPY` command to import the data from the CSV file into the newly created table. This command reads from the specified CSV file and inserts the data into the PostgreSQL table.

```sql
COPY hubplanner_data(name, start_date, end_date, hours)
FROM '/path/to/your/exported_file.csv'
DELIMITER ','
CSV HEADER;
```

Ensure that the file path is correct and accessible by the PostgreSQL server. Adjust column names and types as necessary to match your table schema.

After importing the data, verify its integrity by running SQL queries to check for consistency. Look for discrepancies such as unexpected NULL values, incorrect data types, or missing records. Use SQL commands to perform basic data validation and ensure that the data was imported correctly.

```sql
SELECT * FROM hubplanner_data LIMIT 10;
```

Reviewing a sample of the imported data can help confirm that the process was successful.

If regular data transfers from Hub Planner to PostgreSQL are required, consider writing a script to automate the process. Use a scripting language such as Python or Bash to automate the export, cleaning, and import steps. Schedule the script to run at regular intervals using cron jobs (Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows) to ensure that your PostgreSQL database remains up-to-date with the latest data from Hub Planner.

FAQs

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

Hubplanner is a tool to plan, schedule, report and manage your entire team.

Hubplanner's API provides access to a wide range of data related to resource management and project planning. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Hubplanner's API:  

1. Resource data: This includes information about the resources available for project planning, such as their names, roles, skills, and availability.  
2. Project data: This includes information about the projects being planned, such as their names, start and end dates, budgets, and milestones.  
3. Task data: This includes information about the tasks that need to be completed for each project, such as their names, descriptions, start and end dates, and assigned resources.
4. Time tracking data: This includes information about the time spent on each task by each resource, as well as the overall time spent on each project.  
5. Reporting data: This includes information about the progress of each project, such as the percentage of completion, the budget spent, and the remaining budget.  

Overall, Hubplanner's API provides access to a comprehensive set of data that can be used to optimize resource management and project planning.

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 
1. Set up Hubplanner to PostgreSQL as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Hubplanner to PostgreSQL and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
