Why teams connect Odoo and PostgreSQL

Give your engineers Odoo's data in PostgreSQL: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts (res.partner), Sales Orders (sale.order), Invoices (account.move), Products (product.template / product.product) from Odoo into PostgreSQL and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Odoo is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in PostgreSQL sync back into Odoo with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts
  • Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • Sync employee records from an HR system of record into Odoo for expense and timesheet workflows.
  • Sync Odoo contacts and CRM leads with an external CRM when sales runs outside Odoo but invoicing stays in it.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Odoo arrive as row changes in PostgreSQL, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Odoo is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in PostgreSQL for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from PostgreSQL back into Odoo, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between Odoo and PostgreSQL

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.

Odoo objects PostgreSQL objects
CRM Leads (crm.lead) Leads and opportunities synced with marketing and enrichment systems. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata.
Purchase Orders (purchase.order) Procurement documents shared with supplier-facing systems. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) Delivery and receipt operations synced for fulfillment visibility. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields.
Employees (hr.employee) HR records read for directory and provisioning syncs. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems.
Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) Work items synced with external project tools. Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync.
Contacts (res.partner) The unified person/company record used across sales, invoicing, and purchasing; the anchor for CRM syncs. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Odoo or PostgreSQL record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Odoo ⇄ PostgreSQL sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Odoo and PostgreSQL.

How the Odoo and PostgreSQL connectors work

Odoo

Integration surface
XML-RPC and JSON-RPC external API exposing the full ORM (search_read, create, write, unlink)
Authentication
Database user credentials or per-user API keys
Change detection
Polling on the write_date timestamp every record carries; recent versions can also send outbound webhooks from automation rules
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Self-hosted instances have no fixed rate limits; Odoo Online is subject to the platform's fair-use limits

PostgreSQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string or parameters), with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + host); a least-privilege DB user
Change detection
Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector; database triggers (TRIGGER grant + stacksync_logging schema) via the trigger-based "Postgres Heroku" connector where
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput
