How to connect PostgreSQL and Pinecone
Create a New Scenario to Connect PostgreSQL and Pinecone
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a PostgreSQL, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PostgreSQL or Pinecone will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PostgreSQL or Pinecone, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PostgreSQL Node
Select the PostgreSQL node from the app selection panel on the right.


PostgreSQL

Configure the PostgreSQL
Click on the PostgreSQL node to configure it. You can modify the PostgreSQL URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Pinecone Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the PostgreSQL node, select Pinecone from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Pinecone.

Authenticate Pinecone
Now, click the Pinecone node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Pinecone settings. Authentication allows you to use Pinecone through Latenode.
Configure the PostgreSQL and Pinecone Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the PostgreSQL and Pinecone Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that donβt require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PostgreSQL, Pinecone, and any additional nodes, donβt forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the PostgreSQL and Pinecone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL and Pinecone (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PostgreSQL and Pinecone
Scrapeless + PostgreSQL + Pinecone: Scrapes data from a specified URL using Scrapeless, inserts the scraped data into a PostgreSQL database, and then uses Pinecone to create embeddings and store the data for similarity searches.
AI Agent + PostgreSQL + Pinecone: Uses an AI Agent to analyze customer reviews and determine sentiment. Stores sentiment scores in a PostgreSQL database, and uses Pinecone to enable similarity searches based on review content.

FAQ PostgreSQL and Pinecone
How can I connect my PostgreSQL account to Pinecone using Latenode?
To connect your PostgreSQL account to Pinecone on Latenode, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Latenode account.
- Navigate to the integrations section.
- Select PostgreSQL and click on "Connect".
- Authenticate your PostgreSQL and Pinecone accounts by providing the necessary permissions.
- Once connected, you can create workflows using both apps.
Can I create a real-time vector search from database updates?
Yes, you can! Latenode allows you to trigger Pinecone vector updates directly from PostgreSQL database changes. This ensures your search stays accurate and up-to-date automatically.
What types of tasks can I perform by integrating PostgreSQL with Pinecone?
Integrating PostgreSQL with Pinecone allows you to perform various tasks, including:
- Synchronizing database records as vectors in Pinecone for similarity searches.
- Building recommendation systems using data from your PostgreSQL database.
- Creating AI-powered search functionality using vector embeddings.
- Performing semantic data analysis combining SQL data with vector data.
- Automatically updating Pinecone vectors based on database triggers.
Can I transform my PostgreSQL data before inserting into Pinecone?
Yes, Latenode allows you to transform PostgreSQL data using JavaScript or AI steps before loading it into Pinecone for advanced data preparation.
Are there any limitations to the PostgreSQL and Pinecone integration on Latenode?
While the integration is powerful, there are certain limitations to be aware of:
- Large-scale data synchronization may require optimization for performance.
- Vector embeddings require careful design to achieve optimal search results.
- Complex data transformations might require JavaScript knowledge.
