version: "1.0.1" name: atlan-sql-connector-patterns description: Select and apply the correct SQL connector implementation pattern (SDK-default minimal or source-specific custom). Use when building or extending SQL metadata/query extraction connectors.
Atlan SQL Connector Patterns
Choose the right connector strategy and implement it consistently.
Workflow
- Use
references/decision-tree.md to choose postgres-minimal or redshift-custom. - Implement required components for selected path.
- Verify auth, preflight, workflow map, and transformation behavior against references.
- Run
atlan-fact-verification-gate if requirements imply source-specific behavior or SDK override risk. - Hand off to
atlan-e2e-contract-validator for contract generation.
Rules
- Default to minimal path unless requirements justify custom path.
- For custom path, explicitly document why SDK defaults are insufficient.
- Reuse source-specific patterns only when corresponding requirements are present.
