Support PostgreSQL

[titoshadow]

Really cool package, I see a huge potential here !
Let's keep it rolling :)

Model edition or features alike are not working, because commands like 'describe' do not exist on PostgreSQL

Oh yeah! High on my list as well. Difficult to do since I'm not having a good PostgreSQL setup here at the moment.

[titoshadow]

What do you need, or what is your testing environment so I can prepare a PostgreSQL deployment for you? Would like to lend a hand :)

[mtolhuys]

Help would be hugely appreciated. Right now I only have a Ubuntu 18.04 with mysql 5.7 setup. Haven't ever set up postgresql for personal use. So even though this one probably will be very minor to test it would be a challenge for me.

[titoshadow]

Well these are some easy steps to get a PostgreSQL 12 up and running on Ubuntu 18.04:

This block will import GPG keys and add PG12 repos, then install:

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" |sudo tee  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install postgresql-12 postgresql-client-12

It should have started up, just check with:

systemctl status postgresql

as usually.

From here, it becomes quite similar to MySQL (just better? :D)
Assuming you are working local, thus no need to edit pg_hba.conf, just open a psql session and build up some foundation:

sudo su - postgres
psql
CREATE DATABASE whatever;
CREATE USER whatafancyuser WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'soSecureSuchWow';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE whatever TO whatafancyuser;

Aaaaand you are good to go :)
