Why teams connect PostgreSQL and SAP ASE (Sybase)

Keep PostgreSQL and SAP ASE (Sybase) synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between PostgreSQL and SAP ASE (Sybase) continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store
  • 02 Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts
  • 03 Bridge legacy ASE-backed applications to modern SaaS tools through a synced intermediate database.
  • 04 Migrate off ASE incrementally by keeping old and new databases in sync during cutover.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both PostgreSQL and SAP ASE (Sybase), so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL and SAP ASE (Sybase)

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

PostgreSQL objects SAP ASE (Sybase) objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Tables The core sync unit; rows are read and written with standard SQL. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Views Read-only projections used to shape data for extraction without touching base tables. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Indexes Access paths that keep keyed polling queries efficient on large OLTP tables. JSONB Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Indexes to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Stored Procedures T-SQL routines that encapsulate business logic; often invoked instead of direct table writes. Sequences is specific to PostgreSQL and Stored Procedures to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Databases and Schemas Namespaces that scope sync configuration and permissions. Custom Types and Enums is specific to PostgreSQL and Databases and Schemas to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Triggers Server-side hooks sometimes used to populate change-capture tables for syncs. Materialized Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Triggers to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between PostgreSQL and SAP ASE (Sybase)

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

PostgreSQL SAP ASE (Sybase) Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to SAP ASE (Sybase) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP ASE (Sybase) PostgreSQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP ASE (Sybase) for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Timestamp or key-based polling and trigger-based capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.
