Export to PostgreSQL/pgAdmin table

[andre.bicudoHLD9B]

Hi, I am trying to add a method, into a C# plugin that i made, that exports information to a postgreeAQL/pgadmin DB.

However, I can't manage to find a solution to do it.

I know that there are add-ins, such as DB Link that helps me in this subject, but in this case, it would be important to implement it into the code.

Can someone help me with this?

Accessing the Revit database data is easy and has been discussed here and elsewhere many times over.

Exporting directly to your specific external database probably requires a db-specific library that has nothing to do with Revit and that we cannot help you with here. If is is nice and clean and accessible from .NET, it should not pose any major problem to integrate and use it from a Revit add-in.

Here are some notes on accessing and exporting parameters:

Here are a few discussions on integrating with external databases, a bit older:

• Database Integration
• Integration with a Database or ERP System
• Adding a Column to RDBLink Export
• Delux Database Enabled Loading and Updating
• Getting Started with the Revit API
