So we have been using managed connectors since 1 year ago with no issue (elasticsearch), and now we want to sink the same topics into a postgres database, but for some reason this is not supported by the managed sink connectors, as noticed in below page.

our target is just to remove prefix from the topic name for example

“docker.public.user” =\> “public.user”

does anyone knows how can we achieve this ? and what options do we have ??

Thanks in advance…
