Hello all
I just found out about the pg service file.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgservice.html
I don’t know why it took me so long finding this. I have been looking
for ways to abstract physical details of data location away for clients
(much like Oracle’s tnsnames).
Want to move a cluster to a new host. Sure, move it, edit
pg_service.conf and clients will not know the difference.
It works great for at least psql and psycopg2.
But I cannot find anything on pg_service.conf and the Postgres ODBC
driver and Npgsql for .Net
I know pg_service.conf support is implemented through libpq and support
for rivers not using libpq is not a given thing.
But I think the need for the abstraction of connection details is a
general one.
Can anyone shed som light on the ubiquitousness of support for
pg_service.conf?
Are there any other mechanisms with broader support, that can be used
instead of pg_service.conf (if support is scarce beyond what builds on
libpq)?
Only thing I know of is something like
pgbouncer(http://www.pgbouncer.org/) where you keep a constant
connection setting for the pooler and then change the settings for the
database(s) it connects to.
Thank you.
