How to connect to PostgreSQL Database in Mulesoft
Steg
    MuleSoft by default supports connectors to MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle. But it offers to connect to any generic database as long as we can provide the JDBC connector to the project. Being a JAVA application, the connector needs information for the Driver class name, URL which can get very specific. So here’s how you can connect to the PostgreSQL server from Mule.

      1. Drag a database widget on to the flow
      2. Add a new Connector configuration
      3. Select Connection type as “Generic Connection”
      4. Click on Configure to add the JDBC driver and select Add Maven dependency (pre-requisite: Download the latest JDBC driver from the website:  
    https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/

      5. Click on Install

      6. Click on Browse and select the JDBC driver that was downloaded. This will be imported into the project, so doesn’t matter where the downloaded file lives.
          Click Install. You’ll get a notification that the driver was successfully imported.

           URL: The URL should be in the following format below. The sslmode field is required. 
                     jdbc:postgresql://:/?sslmode=require
           Driver class name: org.postgresql.Driver
           User: your_database_user
           Password: your_database_password
           User-added image

      9. Click on Test connection.. and if you’re successful, you should be all set.
