Hi,
You are not saying which library/framework you are trying to use.
One up to date option is P3, the "lean and mean PostgreSQL client for Pharo " [
https://github.com/svenvc/P3 ].
A connection to your database could then be specified using a URL.
To test the connection:
(P3Client url: 'psql://postgres:lucian@localhost:5432/mydb') in: [ :client | [
client isWorking ] ensure: [ client close ] ].
To do a query:
(P3Client url: 'psql://postgres:lucian@localhost:5432/mydb') in: [ :client | [
(client query: 'SELECT * FROM some_table') recordsAsDictionaries ] ensure: [
client close ] ].
Of course, you first have to make sure external clients can connect to your db
(try the psql command line client over TCP first).
HTH,
Sven
Apart from https://postgresql.org, the following site is pretty good:
https://www.postgresqltutorial.com. On macOS, I recommend
https://postgresapp.com.
