# faucet-source-postgres
[](https://crates.io/crates/faucet-source-postgres)
[](https://docs.rs/faucet-source-postgres)
A PostgreSQL query source that executes SQL queries and returns rows as JSON records, with connection pooling via sqlx.
Part of the [faucet-stream](https://github.com/PawanSikawat/faucet-stream) ecosystem.
## Installation
```toml
[dependencies]
faucet-source-postgres = "1.0"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
```
Or via the umbrella crate:
```toml
faucet-stream = { version = "1.0", features = ["source-postgres"] }
```
## Quick Start
```rust
use faucet_source_postgres::{PostgresSource, PostgresSourceConfig};
use faucet_core::Source;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let config = PostgresSourceConfig::new(
"postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb",
"SELECT id, name, email FROM users WHERE active = true",
);
let source = PostgresSource::new(config).await?;
let records = source.fetch_all().await?;
for record in &records {
println!("{}", record);
}
Ok(())
}
```
## Configuration
### PostgresSourceConfig
| `connection_url` | `String` | *(required)* | PostgreSQL connection URL (e.g. `postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db`). Masked in debug output for security |
| `query` | `String` | *(required)* | SQL query to execute |
| `params` | `Vec<Value>` | `[]` | Bind parameters for the query (positional: `$1`, `$2`, etc.) |
| `max_connections` | `u32` | `10` | Maximum number of connections in the pool |
| `batch_size` | `usize` | `1000` | Rows per `StreamPage` emitted by `Source::stream_pages`. See [Streaming and batching](#streaming-and-batching) below |
### Streaming and batching
`PostgresSource::stream_pages` drives a sqlx row cursor (`Query::fetch`)
without buffering the full result. Rows are accumulated into a `batch_size`
buffer and yielded as a `StreamPage` once the buffer fills; the trailing
partial page (if any) is yielded after the cursor drains.
`batch_size = 0` is the **"no batching" sentinel** — the cursor is drained
completely and the entire result set is emitted in a single `StreamPage`.
Use it for small lookup tables, or for downstream sinks (SQL `COPY`,
BigQuery load jobs, Snowflake stage uploads) that prefer one large request
to many small ones. Values larger than `MAX_BATCH_SIZE` (1,000,000) are
rejected by `faucet_core::validate_batch_size`.
The postgres query source has no incremental-replication mode, so every
emitted page carries `bookmark: None`.
> **Note** — Postgres' wire protocol sends rows from a simple `SELECT` in a
> single response (no server-side cursor). The streaming implementation
> bounds *client-side* memory at `O(batch_size)` and lets the sink begin
> writing as soon as the first batch is parsed off the wire. True
> server-side cursor streaming (`DECLARE ... CURSOR FOR ...`) is tracked
> separately as a follow-up.
### Supported Column Types
Columns are automatically converted to JSON values:
| `json`, `jsonb` | Native JSON value |
| `text`, `varchar`, `char` | `string` |
| `int8`, `bigint` | `number` (i64) |
| `int4`, `integer` | `number` (i32) |
| `int2`, `smallint` | `number` (i16) |
| `float8`, `double precision` | `number` (f64) |
| `float4`, `real` | `number` (f32) |
| `bool`, `boolean` | `boolean` |
| `timestamptz` | `string` (RFC 3339) |
| `timestamp`, `date`, `time` | `string` (ISO-8601) |
| `uuid` | `string` |
| `numeric`, `decimal` | `string` (exact precision preserved) |
| `bytea` | `string` (base64) |
| Other / `NULL` | `null` |
## Config Loading
```rust
use faucet_core::config::{load_json, load_env_file};
use faucet_source_postgres::PostgresSourceConfig;
let config: PostgresSourceConfig = load_json("config.json")?;
let config: PostgresSourceConfig = load_env_file(".env", "PG_SOURCE")?;
```
### Example JSON config
```json
{
"connection_url": "postgres://analytics:password@db.example.com:5432/warehouse",
"query": "SELECT id, name, created_at, metadata FROM events WHERE created_at > $1 ORDER BY created_at",
"params": ["2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"],
"max_connections": 5,
"batch_size": 5000
}
```
### Example .env file
```env
PG_SOURCE_CONNECTION_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb
PG_SOURCE_QUERY=SELECT * FROM users
PG_SOURCE_MAX_CONNECTIONS=10
```
## Config Schema Introspection
```rust
use faucet_core::Source;
let source = PostgresSource::new(config).await?;
let schema = source.config_schema();
println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&schema)?);
```
## Examples
### Simple query
```rust
use faucet_source_postgres::{PostgresSource, PostgresSourceConfig};
use faucet_core::Source;
let config = PostgresSourceConfig::new(
"postgres://localhost/mydb",
"SELECT id, name, email FROM customers ORDER BY id",
);
let source = PostgresSource::new(config).await?;
let customers = source.fetch_all().await?;
```
### Parameterized query
```rust
use faucet_source_postgres::{PostgresSource, PostgresSourceConfig};
use faucet_core::Source;
use serde_json::json;
let config = PostgresSourceConfig::new(
"postgres://localhost/mydb",
"SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status = $1 AND total > $2",
)
.params(vec![json!("shipped"), json!(100.0)]);
let source = PostgresSource::new(config).await?;
let orders = source.fetch_all().await?;
```
### Custom connection pool size
```rust
use faucet_source_postgres::{PostgresSource, PostgresSourceConfig};
let config = PostgresSourceConfig::new(
"postgres://localhost/mydb",
"SELECT * FROM large_table",
)
.with_max_connections(20);
let source = PostgresSource::new(config).await?;
let records = source.fetch_all().await?;
```
