Direct PostgreSQL database connection in Airtable (like Metabase)?

I have a PostgreSQL database and I'm currently trying to sync it with Airtable. My current setup triggers a sync whenever a new record is created in the database, but I'm getting frequent synchronization errors.

I'm wondering: is there a way to connect Airtable directly to a PostgreSQL database as a data source — similar to how Metabase lets you query a database directly — rather than relying on a sync mechanism? Essentially, I'd like Airtable to read data live from the DB without needing to replicate records.

If not natively, are there recommended integrations or workarounds for this use case?
