node-red-contrib-pg

Node-red-contrib-postgrestor :space_invader: is a Node-RED node allowing basic access to Postgres :elephant: database.

This fork has updated dependencies and allows to Parameterized query, throwing exceptions,and a listen node (for listening to NOTIFY events in postgres. BEWARE for sql injection. use with care or help me solve!)

Pass them as a parameter array *params of the msg object.

Node-red-contrib-postgrestor sets up a console to execute queries against the configured database.

msg.payload will contain the result object of the query. It has the following properties:

• command: The sql command that was executed (e.g. "SELECT", "UPDATE", etc.)
• rowCount: The number of rows affected by the SQL statement
• oid: The oid returned
• rows: An array of rows

Postgres implements a template engine allowing parameterized queries:

/* INTEGER id COLUMN */
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = {{ msg.id }}

/* VARCHAR id COLUMN */
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = '{{ msg.id }}'



SELECT * FROM table where name = $1;

msg.params = ['Andrea']
