Node.js PostgreSQL Connection
Easily connect your PostgreSQL hosting deployments at ScaleGrid to the Node.js driver to optimize your PostgreSQL management in the cloud.
How to Connect PostgreSQL to the Node.js Driver
- Install the PostgreSQL extension for Node.js
npm install pg - Get the following PostgreSQL deployment information from your cluster details page:
a. Username
b. Password
c. Hostname
d. Port (default 5432)
e. SSL certificate (if deployment has SSL)
- Run the following code to connect to you PostgreSQL deployment after you enter the information from step 2.
const { Client } = require('pg')
const client = new Client({
user: 'sgpostgres',
host: 'SG-PostgreNoSSL-14-pgsql-master.devservers.scalegrid.io',
database: 'postgres',
password: 'password',
port: 5432,
})
client.connect(function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("Connected!");
});
const { Client } = require('pg');
var fs = require('fs');
const client = new Client({
user: 'sgpostgres',
host: 'SG-NewPostgreCluster-5-pgsql-master.devservers.scalegrid.io',
database: 'postgres',
password: ‘password’',
port: 6432,
ssl : {
ca : fs.readFileSync('<path to CA cert file>')
}
})
client.connect(function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("Connected!");
});
- Run the code using:
node app.js
Your PostgreSQL deployment is now connected to your Node.js Driver!
