It enables you to write, test, and version-control SQL transformations as code, turning raw warehouse data into analysis-ready tables through dbt's templating, testing, and documentation framework.\n\nThe package bundles dbt-core with PostgreSQL-specific connection handling, dependency resolution, and query execution. It ships with psycopg2-binary by default for frictionless local development, though the documentation recommends compiling psycopg2 from source in production for performance gains. The adapter supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained.","worth_installing":"Yes. dbt-postgres is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is the standard way to use dbt with PostgreSQL. Install it if you are building or maintaining data transformation pipelines in Postgres and want version control, testing, and documentation for your SQL logic. Consider compiling psycopg2 from source in production for better performance."},"id":"dbt-postgres","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-postgres","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-postgres.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbt-postgres/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dbt-postgres","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The set of adapter protocols and base functionality that supports integration with dbt-core"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":7080609,"position":1790,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.11.0"}
