Hi,

I am facing an issue with PgBouncer-Postgres setup,

*PgBouncer (PgBouncer 1.23.1 running on VM instance FreeBSD 14.2) and PostgreSQL DB cluster on a virtual machine (PG version 16.0,  RHEL 9.4) *.


My application backend is nodeJS which throws the following Error in the nodejs  console log: when connecting through pgbouncer to the backend database server...

ERROR thrown:

my-node>* Failed to connect to PostgreSQL database transaction_db : unsupported startup parameter: statement_timeout *{"code":"08P01", "length":69, "name": "error", xx xx my-node> error:[object Object ] {"timestamp":"15-07-2025 10:14:26"} x x xx


Note:   The nodejs apps  earlier directly establishing connections to the  PostgreSQL DB ( no such errors)  now redirected via   Pgbouncer throws this error.

How? I am getting , connecting directly to postgresql, or pgpool, or pgbouncer :

achill@smadevnu:~ % psql "postgresql://localhost:5432?statement_timeout=10"
psql: error: invalid URI query parameter: "statement_timeout"
achill@smadevnu:~ % psql "postgresql://localhost:9999?statement_timeout=10"
psql: error: invalid URI query parameter: "statement_timeout"
achill@smadevnu:~ % psql "postgresql://localhost:6432?statement_timeout=10"
psql: error: invalid URI query parameter: "statement_timeout"

the error is within : src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c

Ok looked a little bit further, in case nodejs driver sends this (statement_timeout) via the options startup packet, as in :

PGOPTIONS=" -c statement_timeout=10" psql "postgresql://localhost:5432"

 then yes, you will have to include this in pgbouncer's |ignore_startup_parameters|

as explained here : https://www.pgbouncer.org/config.html



*The config parameters for  pgbouncer as follows(correct me if any mistakes made)
*
[root@pgbouncer ~]# grep ^[^';;;'] /usr/local/etc/pgbouncer.ini

The config params of  N*odeJS application which uses nodejs connection pooling in* code as follows

the Node JS application using the following  nodejs pooling configurations for the application level

*cat app_10072025/config/pg-pool-config.js*
.......
*const poolOptions = {
    max: 10,
    min: 2,
    idleTimeoutMillis: 600000,   //Idle for 5Min
    connectionTimeoutMillis: 10000,  //Reconnect 10sec
    statement_timeout: 60000,    //Query executiion 1 min
    acquire: 20000,
    maxUses: 1000 //reconnect after 1000 queries
};*

const pools = {

    transaction_db: new Pool({
        connectionString: `postgresql://${DB_USER}:${DB_PASSWORD}@${DB_HOST}:${DB_PORT}/${DB_NAME_TRANSACTION_DB}`,
        ...poolOptions,
    }),
};

..................................

Any  hints   and suggestions in the config params are most welcome.

Thank you,
