README.md
ZomboDB brings powerful text-search and analytics features to Postgres by using Elasticsearch as an index type. Its comprehensive query language and SQL functions enable new and creative ways to query your relational data.
From a technical perspective, ZomboDB is a 100% native Postgres extension that implements Postgres' Index Access Method API. As a native Postgres index type, ZomboDB allows you to CREATE INDEX ... USING zombodb
on your existing Postgres tables. At that point, ZomboDB takes over and fully manages the remote Elasticsearch index and guarantees transactionally-correct text-search query results.
ZomboDB is fully compatible with all of Postgres' query plan types and most SQL commands such as CREATE INDEX
, COPY
, INSERT
, UPDATE
, DELETE
, SELECT
, ALTER
, DROP
, REINDEX
, (auto)VACUUM
, etc.
It doesn’t matter if you’re using an Elasticsearch cloud provider or managing your own cluster -- ZomboDB communicates with Elasticsearch via its RESTful APIs so you’re covered either way.
ZomboDB allows you to use the power and scalability of Elasticsearch directly from Postgres. You don’t have to manage transactions between Postgres and Elasticsearch, asynchronous indexing pipelines, complex reindexing processes, or multiple data-access code paths -- ZomboDB does it all for you.
Currently BETA
This is a new version of ZomboDB that only supports Postgres 10 and doesn't require an Elasticsearch plugin. As such, it's currently a beta release, with a production-ready release planned for the near future.
If you've used ZomboDB before, you'll learn that this is a different and more advanced product. Please review all the documentation as many things (including SQL syntax and query language) have changed.
Since this is beta software, there's a short TODO-list:
- Support Postgres sub-transactions (
SAVEPOINT
andROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT
) - Eliminate the
zdb.batch_mode
setting by automatically batching index modifications and writing to Elasticsearch prior to an index query while in an open transaction or at transaction commit.
Previous versions that support Postgres <=9.5 are still available, from these branches:
Commerical support for all versions of ZomboDB is available by contacting ZomboDB, LLC.

System Requirements
Product Version Postgres 10.x Elasticsearch 5.6.x, 6.x libcurl >=7.28.0Downloading
Please visit https://www.zombodb.com/releases/ to download.
If you want to integrate with a CI/CD system you can intuit the pattern for versions from the Postgres extension download links, but it'll be something like:
https://www.zombodb.com/releases/VERSION/zombodb_trusty_pg10-VERSION_amd64.deb
Note: you'll need to use the one that's for your Postgres + Linux distro combination -- the example above is for Postgres 10 on Ubuntu Trusty.
Quick Overview
Note that this is just a quick overview. Please read the getting started tutorial for more details.
Create the extension:
CREATE EXTENSION zombodb;
Create a table:
CREATE TABLE products ( id SERIAL8 NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, name text NOT NULL, keywords varchar(64)[], short_summary text, long_description zdb.fulltext, price bigint, inventory_count integer, discontinued boolean default false, availability_date date ); -- insert some data
Create a ZomboDB index:
CREATE INDEX idxproducts ON products USING zombodb ((products.*)) WITH (url='localhost:9200/');
Query it:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE products ==> '(keywords:(sports OR box) OR long_description:"wooden away"~5) AND price:[1000 TO 20000]';

History
The name is an homage to zombo.com and its long history of continuous self-affirmation.
This version of ZomboDB was graciously sponsored by Impira.
Historically, ZomboDB began in 2013 by Technology Concepts & Design, Inc as a closed-source effort to provide transaction safe text-search on top of Postgres tables. While Postgres' "tsearch" features are useful, they're not necessarily adequate for 200 column-wide tables with 100M rows, each containing large text content.
Initially designed on-top of Postgres' Foreign Data Wrapper API, ZomboDB quickly evolved into an index type so that queries are MVCC-safe and standard SQL can be used to query and manage indices.
Elasticsearch was chosen as the backing search index because of its horizontal scaling abilities, performance, and general ease of use.
ZomboDB was open-sourced in July 2015 and has since been used in numerous production systems of various sizes and complexity.
