From 614cbf809747326136b0c89ce7b9a7cfbd41c4b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ask=20Bj=C3=B8rn=20Hansen?= Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:34:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat(pgdb): add PG* environment variable fallback in OpenPool When no DATABASE_URI or config file is found, fall through to pgxpool.ParseConfig("") which natively reads standard PG* variables (PGHOST, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGDATABASE, etc.). This removes unnecessary ceremony in CI and container environments where PG* vars are already set. --- database/pgdb/CLAUDE.md | 3 +- database/pgdb/pool.go | 25 +++++++----- database/pgdb/pool_test.go | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 99 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/database/pgdb/CLAUDE.md b/database/pgdb/CLAUDE.md index ef2e72e..a9525fe 100644 --- a/database/pgdb/CLAUDE.md +++ b/database/pgdb/CLAUDE.md @@ -97,8 +97,9 @@ For higher connection limits, set via `PoolOptions` or URI query parameter `?poo ## Environment Variables -- `DATABASE_URI` - PostgreSQL connection URI (takes precedence over config files) +- `DATABASE_URI` - PostgreSQL connection URI (takes precedence over all other methods) - `DATABASE_CONFIG_FILE` - Override config file location +- Standard `PG*` variables (`PGHOST`, `PGUSER`, `PGPASSWORD`, `PGDATABASE`, `PGPORT`, `PGSSLMODE`, etc.) - used as fallback when no config file is found; parsed natively by pgx ### URI Format diff --git a/database/pgdb/pool.go b/database/pgdb/pool.go index dc31cd8..1867889 100644 --- a/database/pgdb/pool.go +++ b/database/pgdb/pool.go @@ -66,6 +66,7 @@ func DefaultPoolOptions() PoolOptions { // 1.
