Creating PeerDB User and Granting permissions

Connect to your Crunchy Bridge Postgres through the postgres user and run the below commands:

  1. Create a Postgres user exclusively for PeerDB.

    1.    CREATE USER peerdb_user PASSWORD 'some-password';

  2. Grant read-only access to the schema from which you are replicating tables to peerdb-user. Below example shows granting permissions for the public schema. If you want to grant access to multiple schemas, you can run these three commands for each schema.

    1.    GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA "public" TO peerdb_user;
   GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA "public" TO peerdb_user;
   ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA "public" GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO peerdb_user;

  3. Grant replication access to this user:

    1.   ALTER ROLE peerdb_user REPLICATION;

  4. Create publication that you’ll be using for creating the MIRROR (replication) in future.

    1.    CREATE PUBLICATION peerdb_publication FOR ALL TABLES;
