Has
MELTANO_BACKEND
gone away as an env variable?
b
Hey Rob! Where did you use to use this variable?
r
I used it in my env to cause Meltano to write its data to Postgres
Rather than sqlite
When Meltano runs it asserts it's using Postgres but I'm no longer seeing entries in the
meltano.job
table
So to be clearer, I mean when I run it with the
elt
command.
@ben_hong Thanks for jumping in here. Please let me know if there's any further info I can provide that would be helpful.
b
That’s a good catch!
It looks like it’s still being used in the params part of the CLI
r
So it looks like it still supported but we could use
SQL_ENGINE_URI
instead if we wanted?
b
It seems like it at this time. Could you create an issue for us to help straighten this out?
