@plotdb/sharedb-postgres

PostgreSQL database adapter for sharedb. This driver can be used both as a snapshot store and oplog.

Doesn't support queries (yet?).

Moderately experimental. (This drives Synaptograph's backend, and @nornagon hasn't noticed any issues so far.)

Note about versioning

This is a fork from the original sharedb-postgres and its relative forks (see billwashere, zbryikt. It seems to have been not maintained for a long time since 2018, Thus we decide to fork it and maintain it as @plotdb/sharedb-postgre.

Requirements

Due to the fix to resolve high concurency issues Postgres 9.5+ is now required.

Migrating older versions

Older versions of this adaptor used the data type json. You will need to alter the data type prior to using if you are upgrading.

ALTER TABLE ops
  ALTER COLUMN operation
  SET DATA TYPE jsonb
  USING operation::jsonb;

ALTER TABLE snapshots
  ALTER COLUMN data
  SET DATA TYPE jsonb
  USING data::jsonb;

Usage

sharedb-postgres-jsonb wraps native node-postgres, and it supports the same configuration options.

To instantiate a sharedb-postgres wrapper, invoke the module and pass in your PostgreSQL configuration as an argument or use environmental arguments.

For example using environmental arugments:

var db = require('sharedb-postgres')();
var backend = require('sharedb')({db: db})

Then executing via the command line

PGUSER=dbuser  PGPASSWORD=secretpassword PGHOST=database.server.com PGDATABASE=mydb PGPORT=5433 npm start

Example using an object

var db = require('sharedb-postgres')({host: 'localhost', database: 'mydb'});
var backend = require('sharedb')({db: db})

Error codes

PostgreSQL errors are passed back directly.

Changelog

Note that version 3.0.0 introduces breaking changes in how you specify connection parameters. See the changelog for more info.
