hi all, I have a sample CDC tap like so:
Copy code
# Core DB taps
  - name: tap-core-db-testing
    inherit_from: tap-postgres-pipelinewise
    namespace: tap_postgres_pipelinewise
    config:
      <<: *coredb_credentials
      dbname: "postgres"
      logical_poll_total_seconds: 60
    select:
      - public-employees.id
      - public-employees.user_id
      - public-employees.created_at
      - public-employees.updated_at
      - public-employees.deleted_at

      # Default to `*` for all other tables
      - public-conversions.*
Im noticing certain fields from employees table that are still being ingested . I did not do
-public-employees.*
Can this be achieved through adjusting the stream maps to further filter whats in the catalog? This should work

Do you see those fields printed if you run
meltano select tap-core-db-testing --list
?

ah okay it doesnt appear in the catalogue. so i think what happened was that the tap is CDC so i copied over tables from another schema over to the current test schema to test the tap and those tables had the column present. i guess it doesnt drop the prexisting column if it isnt included in the select
if the column exists and i exlcude that column, does the values defer to null for future ingests?
okay so i dont see it printed in the lhe stream after listing but for some odd reason, email column for this table comes in. is there a config we can set to more heavily enforce only the selected fields @Edgar Ramírez (Arch.dev)?
e
can you try running with the
--refresh-catalog
flag?
k
yup still absent from the catalogue
hey @Edgar Ramírez (Arch.dev) quick question for you. In a DB with low transactions, I am having trouble with the meltano CDC from postgres advancing the lsn. I think we would need to ingest a more frequently updated table to prevent the oldest replication slot lag from increasing, I sthere a way in the extractor to listen to the table but not ingest it?
