Does the postgres library for dart support connection strings?
The related package postgres_pool
does support some:
https://pub.dev/documentation/postgres_pool/latest/postgres_pool/PgEndpoint/PgEndpoint.parse.html
(they will be eventually merged)
Does it support multi-hosts connection strings or multi-host in general?
I've implemented this in another related library: cockroachdb_pool
, which was very useful for a project. I guess one could use it and implement a similar thing for asymmetrical postgres/citus layouts too:
https://pub.dev/packages/cockroachdb_pool
The foundational Postgres library (libpq) does support these things, and it would be good to know if this library can be augmented to support the features.
I have plans for extending the features of the package, but in the past year or so I was really busy and couldn't find the time for it. If you are up for it, I'm happy to review and take PRs...
I see, got it, so it looks like it doesn't yet support passing the attributes, or defining multiple hosts.
I am looking at migrating to CockroachDB later, but until then I have a multi-node failover cluster and need to define the hostname of the primary active node by hand. In production this is super painful when the primary goes down.
Does the postgres library for dart support connection strings? Does it support multi-hosts connection strings or multi-host in general? Can it handle reconnection to a read-write node if failover occurs (such as w/ Citus pg-auto-failover, see: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2021/02/12/reconnecting-your-app-after-a-postgres-failover/)?
