# PostgreSQL Reader
Reads schema information directly from a live PostgreSQL database.
## Overview
The PostgreSQL Reader connects to a PostgreSQL database and introspects its schema, extracting complete information about tables, columns, constraints, indexes, views, and sequences.
## Features
- Direct database introspection
- Extracts complete schema information including:
- Tables and columns
- Primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints, check constraints
- Indexes
- Views
- Sequences
- Supports multiple schemas
- Captures constraint actions (ON DELETE, ON UPDATE)
- Derives relationships from foreign keys
## Usage
### Basic Example
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"git.warky.dev/wdevs/relspecgo/pkg/readers"
"git.warky.dev/wdevs/relspecgo/pkg/readers/pgsql"
)
func main() {
options := &readers.ReaderOptions{
ConnectionString: "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb?sslmode=disable",
}
reader := pgsql.NewReader(options)
db, err := reader.ReadDatabase()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Database: %s\n", db.Name)
fmt.Printf("Schemas: %d\n", len(db.Schemas))
for _, schema := range db.Schemas {
fmt.Printf(" Schema: %s, Tables: %d\n", schema.Name, len(schema.Tables))
}
}
```
### CLI Example
```bash
# Inspect PostgreSQL database and export to JSON
relspec --input pgsql \
--conn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb" \
--output json \
--out-file schema.json
# Generate GORM models from PostgreSQL database
relspec --input pgsql \
--conn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb" \
--output gorm \
--out-file models.go
# Export database structure to YAML
relspec --input pgsql \
--conn "postgres://localhost/mydb?sslmode=disable" \
--output yaml \
--out-file schema.yaml
```
## Connection String Format
The reader uses PostgreSQL connection strings in the format:
```
postgres://username:password@hostname:port/database?parameters
```
Examples:
```
postgres://localhost/mydb
postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb
postgres://user@localhost/mydb?sslmode=disable
postgres://user:pass@db.example.com:5432/production?sslmode=require
```
## Extracted Information
### Tables
- Table name and schema
- Comments/descriptions
- All columns with data types, nullable, defaults
- Sequences
### Columns
- Column name, data type, length/precision
- NULL/NOT NULL constraints
- Default values
- Auto-increment information
- Primary key designation
### Constraints
- Primary keys
- Foreign keys (with ON DELETE/UPDATE actions)
- Unique constraints
- Check constraints
### Indexes
- Index name and type (btree, hash, gist, gin, etc.)
- Columns in index
- Unique/non-unique
- Partial indexes
### Views
- View definitions
- Column information
### Sequences
- Sequence properties
- Associated tables
## Notes
- Requires PostgreSQL connection permissions
- Reads all non-system schemas (excludes pg_catalog, information_schema, pg_toast)
- Captures PostgreSQL-specific data types
- Automatically maps PostgreSQL types to canonical types
- Preserves relationship metadata for downstream conversion
## Requirements
- Go library: `github.com/jackc/pgx/v5`
- Database user must have SELECT permissions on system catalogs
