Set up metadata crawling

1. Create the connection to EDB Postgres Advanced Server on the agent (see Connection settings) and use Test to verify it.
2. Create or open the system that represents EDB Postgres Advanced Server in the catalog and link it to the connection.
3. In the CRAWLING tab add a crawling job with strategy SQL.
4. Run a TEST to check the number of extracted objects, then RUN or schedule the job.

The job options and the column aliases of every extraction query are described in the Generic JDBC reference.
