# PostgreSQL DB Sync

DB Sync is a tool that takes care of two-way synchronisation between Mergin Maps and PostGIS databases. The synchronisation works both ways: changes made in a PostGIS database are automatically pushed to a configured Mergin Maps project and changes made in a GeoPackage in the Mergin Maps project are pushed to the PostGIS database.

Interested in using DB Sync? Go to MerginMaps/db-sync (opens new window) repository for the source code and a Quick start that will guide you through the steps to get DB Sync up and running.

Windows users may use a Windows executable for DB sync. On Linux/Mac users are advised to use a docker container. DB Sync configuration wizard can help you with creating the configuration file.

Usage details

DB Sync can be used with Team, Academia and Non-profit subscription plans, as well as in Mergin Maps CE and Mergin Maps EE.

It is not available in Individual or Professional subscriptions.

You can try DB Sync for free during the trial period.
