Why teams connect Greenplum and TiDB

Connect TiDB and Greenplum with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want TiDB's rows in Greenplum, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in TiDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in TiDB sync into Greenplum in real time, and result tables in Greenplum sync back into TiDB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate data from multiple source systems into partitioned Greenplum fact tables.
  • Load operational data from CRMs, ERPs, and production databases into Greenplum for MPP analytics.
  • Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from TiDB land in Greenplum as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Greenplum sync into TiDB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

What you can sync between Greenplum and TiDB

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.

Greenplum objects TiDB objects
Partitions Large tables are commonly partitioned by date, which shapes incremental reads. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Views Read-only projections used to shape data before syncing it out. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
External tables Reference external files for bulk load paths alongside row-level syncs. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Rows Read and written by key; distribution keys determine where rows live. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.
Schemas Namespace tables and control which objects a sync can see. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.

How the Greenplum and TiDB connectors work

Greenplum

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol (libpq), plus JDBC/ODBC drivers
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors; Greenplum does not expose logical-decoding CDC
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Bounded by cluster resources and concurrency settings rather than an API quota.

TiDB

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks; polling also works
Capabilities
