Non-blocking PostgreSQL client for Node.js. Pure JavaScript and optional native libpq bindings.

This repo is a monorepo which contains the core pg module as well as a handful of related modules.

• pg
• pg-pool
• pg-cursor
• pg-query-stream

Each package in this repo should have it's own readme more focused on how to develop/contribute. For overall documentation on the project and the related modules managed by this repo please see:

• Pure JavaScript client and native libpq bindings share the same API
• Connection pooling
• Extensible JS ↔ PostgreSQL data-type coercion
• Supported PostgreSQL features
  • Parameterized queries
  • Named statements with query plan caching
  • Async notifications with LISTEN/NOTIFY
  • Bulk import & export with COPY TO/COPY FROM

node-postgres is by design pretty light on abstractions. These are some handy modules we've been using over the years to complete the picture. The entire list can be found on our wiki.

node-postgres is free software. If you encounter a bug with the library please open an issue on the GitHub repo. If you have questions unanswered by the documentation please open an issue pointing out how the documentation was unclear & I will do my best to make it better!

When you open an issue please provide:

• version of Node
• version of Postgres
• smallest possible snippet of code to reproduce the problem

You can also follow me @briancarlson if that's your thing. I try to always announce noteworthy changes & developments with node-postgres on Twitter.

If you or your company are benefiting from node-postgres and would like to help keep the project financially sustainable please consider supporting its development.

Also, you can view a historical list of all previous and existing sponsors.

❤️ contributions!

I will happily accept your pull request if it:

• has tests
• looks reasonable
• does not break backwards compatibility

If your change involves breaking backwards compatibility please please point that out in the pull request & we can discuss & plan when and how to release it and what type of documentation or communicate it will require.
