# PostgreSQL

Linx enables you to connect to an existing database and perform various data operations. The PostgreSQL Plugin provides direct connectivity to a PostgreSQL database without requiring an ODBC driver.

To run a simple SQL query, add the **ExecuteSQL** function to your solution and use the [SQL Editor](https://docs.linx.software/reference/plugins/database/shared-properties/sql-editor).

Functions available for use with PostgreSQL databases:

* **BeginTransaction**:\
  Start a transaction to execute multiple database operations within the same transaction.
* **BulkImport**:\
  Efficiently copy large volumes of rows into a table.
* **ExecuteSQL**:\
  Execute an SQL query and return relevant data. The query can include any SQL commands supported by the database driver.
