ZomboDB brings powerful text-search and analytics features to Postgres by using Elasticsearch as an index type. Its comprehensive query language and SQL functions enable new and creative ways to query your relational data.
From a technical perspective, ZomboDB is a 100% native Postgres extension that implements Postgres' Index Access Method API. As a native Postgres index type, ZomboDB allows you to CREATE INDEX ... USING zombodb
on your existing Postgres tables. At that point, ZomboDB takes over and fully manages the remote Elasticsearch index and guarantees transactionally-correct text-search query results.
ZomboDB is fully compatible with all of Postgres' query plan types and most SQL commands such as CREATE INDEX
, COPY
, INSERT
, UPDATE
, DELETE
, SELECT
, ALTER
, DROP
, REINDEX
, (auto)VACUUM
, etc.
It doesn’t matter if you’re using an Elasticsearch cloud provider or managing your own cluster -- ZomboDB communicates with Elasticsearch via its RESTful APIs so you’re covered either way.
ZomboDB allows you to use the power and scalability of Elasticsearch directly from Postgres. You don’t have to manage transactions between Postgres and Elasticsearch, asynchronous indexing pipelines, complex reindexing processes, or multiple data-access code paths -- ZomboDB does it all for you.

Note that ZomboDB is only available in binary form for certain sponsor tiers.
When you become a sponsor at a tier that provides binary downloads, please request a download key from https://www.zombodb.com/services/. Please do the same if you sponsor a tier that provides access to ZomboDB's private Discord server.
Note that this is just a quick overview. Please read the getting started tutorial for more details.
Create the extension:
CREATE EXTENSION zombodb;
Create a table:
CREATE TABLE products (
id SERIAL8 NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name text NOT NULL,
keywords varchar(64)[],
short_summary text,
long_description zdb.fulltext,
price bigint,
inventory_count integer,
discontinued boolean default false,
availability_date date
);
-- insert some data
Create a ZomboDB index:
CREATE INDEX idxproducts
ON products
USING zombodb ((products.*))
WITH (url='localhost:9200/');
Query it:
SELECT *
FROM products
WHERE products ==> '(keywords:(sports OR box) OR long_description:"wooden away"~5) AND price:[1000 TO 20000]';
This version of ZomboDB supports Postgres 10 and 11 and doesn't require an Elasticsearch plugin.
Previous versions that support Postgres <=9.5, and require an Elasticsearch plugin, are still available, from these branches:
Commerical support for all versions of ZomboDB is available by contacting ZomboDB, LLC.
The name is an homage to zombo.com and its long history of continuous self-affirmation.
This version of ZomboDB was graciously sponsored by Impira.
Historically, ZomboDB began in 2013 by Technology Concepts & Design, Inc as a closed-source effort to provide transaction safe text-search on top of Postgres tables. While Postgres' "tsearch" features are useful, they're not necessarily adequate for 200 column-wide tables with 100M rows, each containing large text content.
Initially designed on-top of Postgres' Foreign Data Wrapper API, ZomboDB quickly evolved into an index type so that queries are MVCC-safe and standard SQL can be used to query and manage indices.
Elasticsearch was chosen as the backing search index because of its horizontal scaling abilities, performance, and general ease of use.
ZomboDB was open-sourced in July 2015 and has since been used in numerous production systems of various sizes and complexity.
