  • Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
    A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

  • Building Secure Neon-Infused Web Apps with Auth0, Express, and EJS
    There are two ways to connect with the Postgres database which can be in the terminal or using a Postgres GUI client app like DBeaver. But first, download the PostgreSQL installer for macOS or Windows, depending on your OS. The setup and installation come with the psql command, a tool shipped with Postgres that allows you to communicate with Postgres through the command line. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
  • Postgres: Opinionated Rules-of-Thumb and Gotchas
    6a. Even stricter option is an "append-only" aka "timeseries" schema, which I highly recommend. Can't remember the last time I didn't use one. 7. If you happen to be testing on a Mac, https://postgresapp.com/ is easier than the MacPorts or Homebrew packages. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

  • Learn Postgres at the Playground
    I love that you did audacious thing. FYI, if you're MacOS, someone has packaged Postgres into a standard "just works" self contained MacOS app. With a GUI & system tray menu to contro it. It so good that I use it instead of a Docker image for PG. All the psql and pg_restore commands are contained in the .app package and can be called from the terminal. https://postgresapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
