This section contains troubleshooting guides for specific errors you may encounter when using PostgreSQL sources in Materialize. These guides focus on errors that are unique to the PostgreSQL replication workflow, including issues with replication slots, WAL management, and other CDC-specific scenarios.
For general data ingestion troubleshooting that applies to all source types, see the main Troubleshooting guide. For answers to common questions about PostgreSQL sources, see the FAQ.
