YugabyteDB Connector Request

[viru-janadri]

Hi Team,
I'm reaching out to request a new connector for YugabyteDB.

YugabyteDB is a distributed SQL database that is based on PostgreSQL - it's essentially a fork/extension of PostgreSQL designed for distributed, cloud-native environments. However, there's an important difference in the implementation that affects connector compatibility.

While PostgreSQL uses the ctid keyword for certain internal operations, YugabyteDB uses ybctid instead. This difference is documented in the YugabyteDB GitHub repository: yugabyte/yugabyte-db#1284

Given this key difference in syntax and the growing adoption of YugabyteDB in distributed database scenarios, would it be possible for the Airbyte team to develop a dedicated YugabyteDB connector? While YugabyteDB maintains PostgreSQL compatibility in most areas, the ybctid vs ctid difference could cause issues when using the standard PostgreSQL connector.

Thanks for considering this request!
