anyway.

# Contributing to PostgREST
**First:** if you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or
submit the issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at
for giving your best effort. The worst that can happen is that
you'll be politely asked to change something. We appreciate any
sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the
way of that.
However, for those individuals who want a bit more guidance on the
best way to contribute to the project, read on. This document will
cover what we're looking for. By addressing all the points we're
looking for, it raises the chances we can quickly merge or address
your contributions.
## Issues
For questions on how to use PostgREST, please use
[GitHub discussions](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/discussions).
### Reporting an Issue
* Make sure you test against the latest [stable release](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases/latest)
and also against the latest [nightly release](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases/tag/nightly).
It is possible we already fixed the bug you're experiencing.
* Provide steps to reproduce the issue, including your OS version and
the specific database schema that you are using.
* Please include SQL logs for issues involving runtime problems. To obtain logs first
[enable logging all statements](http://www.microhowto.info/howto/log_all_queries_to_a_postgresql_server.html),
then [find your logs](http://blog.endpoint.com/2014/11/dear-postgresql-where-are-my-logs.html).
* If your database schema has changed while the PostgREST server is running,
[send the server a `SIGUSR1` signal](http://postgrest.org/en/latest/admin.html#schema-reloading) or restart it to ensure the schema cache
is not stale. This sometimes fixes apparent bugs.
## Code
We have a fully nix-based development environment with many tools for a smooth development workflow available.
Check the [development docs](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md) on how to set it up and use it.
### Haskell Conventions
* All contributions must pass the tests before being merged. When
you create a pull request your code will automatically be tested.
* All code must also pass [hlint](http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/) and [stylish-haskell](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell)
with no warnings. This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers. Continuous integration will check this as well on every
pull request. There are useful tools in the nix-shell that help with checking this locally. You can run `postgrest-check` to do this manually but
we recommend adding it to `.git/hooks/pre-commit` as `nix-shell --run postgrest-check` to automatically check this before doing a commit.
### Running Tests
For instructions on running tests, see the [development docs](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md#testing).

# Architecture
This document describes the high-level architecture of PostgREST.
## Bird's Eye View
```haskell
postgrest :: Request -> Either Error SQLStatement -> Response
```
On the highest level, PostgREST processes an HTTP request, if it's accepted it builds a SQL statement for it, executes it, and produces a response.
## Code Map
This section talks briefly about various important modules.
The starting point of the program is `main/Main.hs`, which calls `src/PostgREST/CLI.hs` which then calls `src/PostgREST/App.hs`.
`App.hs` is then in charge of composing the different modules.
### ApiRequest.hs
PostgREST operates over two types of resources: database relations(tables or views) and database functions; providing different representations(depending on the media type)
for them.
This module is in charge of representing the operation over an `ApiRequest` type. It parses the URL querystring following PostgREST syntax, the request headers, and the request body
(if possible it avoids parsing the body and sends it directly to the db).
A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid, e.g. providing an unknown media type to PostgREST or using an unknown HTTP method.
### Plan.hs
Using the Schema Cache, this module enables more complex functionality(like resource embedding) by enriching the ApiRequest. It generates Plan types(`ReadPlan`, `MutatePlan`)
that then will be used to generate a SQL statement.
A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid, e.g. by doing resource embedding on a nonexistent resource.
An OPTIONS request doesn't require a plan to be generated.
### Query.hs
This module constructs single SQL statements that can be parametrized and prepared. Only at this stage a PostgreSQL connection from the pool is used.
A query might fail(and be rollbacked) at this level if it doesn't comply to certain conditions, e.g. by not returning a single row when a ``Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object`` header is specified.
An OPTIONS request doesn't require a query to be executed.
### Response.hs
This module constructs the HTTP response body with the right headers.
It builds the OpenAPI response using the schema cache.
### Auth.hs
This module provides functions to deal with JWT authorization.
### Workers.hs
This spawns threads which are used to execute concurrent jobs.
Jobs include connection recovery, a listener for the PostgreSQL LISTEN command, and an admin server.
### SchemaCache.hs
This queries the PostgreSQL system catalogs and caches the metadata into a SchemaCache type,
### AppState.hs
The state of the App which is kept across requests.

# Change Log
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. From version `14.0` onwards PostgREST follows a `MAJOR.PATCH` two-part versioning. Only even-numbered MAJOR versions will be released, reserving odd-numbered MAJOR versions for development.
## Unreleased
## [16.1] - 2026-08-10
### Fixed
- JWT validation uses wrong current time due to a bug in auto-update by @mkleczek in #5159
## [16.0] - 2026-08-07
### Changes
#### HTTP Server
- [Graceful shutdown](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/http_server.html#graceful-shutdown) by @mkleczek, @Vlix in #4702
- [server-reuseport](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/configuration.html#server-reuseport) allows starting multiple PostgREST instances using the same port on supported platforms by @mkleczek in #4703, #4694
#### Performance
- Optimize schema cache domain type resolution by using [pg_basetype](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-info.html#FUNCTIONS-INFO-CATALOG) on PostgreSQL 17+ by @joelonsql in #4567
- [Prefer: count=exact](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/api/pagination_count.html#exact-count) no longer does a double count on requests that do not use ranges or `db-max-rows` by @laurenceisla in #3957
- [Prefer: timezone](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/api/preferences.html#prefer-timezone) no longer requires the schema cache by @steve-chavez in #5100
+ Previously this required caching [pg_timezone_names](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/view-pg-timezone-names.html) which was slow in some systems
#### Integrations
- PostgREST is now tested to work with [OrioleDB](https://github.com/orioledb/orioledb/) in #4845 by @wolfgangwalther
+ See [our guide for running OrioleDB on NixOS](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/integrations/nixos.html)
#### JWT
- [JWT Role Extraction](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/auth.html#jwt-role-extract) is now more flexible, supporting the standard JSON Path defined in RFC 9535 by @taimoorzaeem in #4984
#### API
- [Prefer: timezone](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/api/preferences.html#timezone) now supports numeric offsets like `05:00` or `-4` by @steve-chavez in #5100
- Fix unexpected results when embedding and filtering the same table more than once by @laurenceisla in #4075
+ You need to set [url-use-legacy-target-names](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/configuration.html#url-use-legacy-target-names) to `false`.
- Deprecate filters, orders and limits with the name of an embedded table when it has an alias by @steve-chavez, @laurenceisla in #4075
+ e.g. `?select=alias:table(*)&table.id=eq.1` will not be possible anymore, use `?select=alias:table(*)&alias.id=eq.1` instead.
+ You will see a warning in the logs and a `Warning` header on the client response when this happens.
+ You can disable this behavior now by setting `url-use-legacy-target-names = false`.
- Add `Vary` header to responses by @develop7 in #4609
- Fix automatic transaction retries on `40001 (serialization_failure)` errors to prevent replication lag by @laurenceisla in #3673
#### Observability
- [GHC runtime metrics](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/observability.html#ghc-runtime-metrics) by @mkleczek in #4862
- [client-error-verbosity](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/configuration.html#client-error-verbosity) to customize responses error verbosity by @taimoorzaeem in #4088, #3980, #3824
- [log-level](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/configuration.html#log-level) config is now reloadable by @taimoorzaeem in #5113
- Log error when `db-schemas` config contains schema `pg_catalog` or `information_schema` by @taimoorzaeem in #4359
- Log schema cache queries timings on `log-level=debug` by @steve-chavez in #4805
#### Admin Server
- [admin-server-unix-socket](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/configuration.html#admin-server-unix-socket)/[admin-server-unix-socket-mode](https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v16/references/configuration.html#admin-server-unix-socket-mode) to run the admin server on a unix socket by @wolfgangwalther in #5003
- Fix responding with `Something went wrong` on Admin server when under EMFILE by @mkleczek in #5077
#### Deployment
- Make executable for aarch64-linux static instead of Ubuntu-based by @wolfgangwalther in #4193
- Docker image for aarch64-linux is now built from scratch instead of being Ubuntu-based by @wolfgangwalther in #4193
- Besides Docker Hub, docker images are now published to Github Container Registry by @wolfgangwalther in #2836
#### Schema Cache
- Fix requests failing when the schema cache fails to reload, when this happens PostgREST will continue serving requests in "best effort" by @mkleczek in #4873 #4869
- Fix reporting 503s errors unnecessarily while the schema cache is loading at startup by @mkleczek in #4880
- Fix schema cache dump missing RPC transaction isolation level by @taimoorzaeem in #5079
#### Listener
- Fix config `db-channel-enabled` not reloading by @taimoorzaeem in #4894
### Migration to v16
- Drop support for PostgreSQL EOL version 13 by @wolfgangwalther in #4193
+ PostgreSQL 13 end of life was on 2025 ([ref](https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/))
+ Upgrade your PostgreSQL version to at least 14 to use this new PostgREST version.
- Fail at startup when `db-schemas` contains schema `pg_catalog` or `information_schema` by @taimoorzaeem in #4359
+ Previously it failed at runtime with `PGRST205` on requests related to these schemas.
+ Remove `pg_catalog` and `information_schema` from `db-schemas`.
- `Prefer: timezone` no longer complies with `handling=lenient` and instead always fails by @steve-chavez in #5128
+ Supporting this required caching `pg_timezone_names`, which was expensive.
+ Ensure your requests always have a valid timezone.
- `jwt-role-claim-key` no longer uses the JSPath DSL and instead uses JSON Path by @taimoorzaeem in #4984
+ Now all config values must start with `$` character.
Example: `.roles.read` -> `$.roles.read`
+ Keys with special characters, with the exception of `_` char must be quoted.
Example: `.roles.write-role` -> `$.roles["write-role"]`
+ String comparison operators (`^==`, `==^` and `*==`) are replaced with regular expression search.
Example: `.roles[?(@ ^== "postgrest_test_")]` -> `$.roles[?search(@, "^postgrest_test_")]`
+ Update the `jwt-role-claim-key` value accoring to the above rules. Also see the syntax reference: [RFC 9535](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html#name-jsonpath-syntax-and-semanti).

- #2052, Dropped support for PostgreSQL 10 - @wolfgangwalther
- #2052, Dropped support for PostgreSQL 11 - @wolfgangwalther
- #3508, PostgREST now fails to start when `server-port` and `admin-server-port` config options are the same - @develop7
- #3607, PostgREST now fails to start when the JWT secret is less than 32 characters long - @laurenceisla
- #3644, Fail schema cache lookup with invalid `db-schemas` or `db-extra-search-path` config - @wolfgangwalther

- #2970, Fix regression that rejects URI connection strings with certain unescaped characters in the password - @laurenceisla, @steve-chavez
## [11.2.0] - 2023-08-10
### Added
- #2523, Data representations - @aljungberg
+ Allows for flexible API output formatting and input parsing on a per-column type basis using regular SQL functions configured in the database
+ Enables greater flexibility in the form and shape of your APIs, both for output and input, making PostgREST a more versatile general-purpose API server
+ Examples include base64 encode/decode your binary data (like a `bytea` column containing an image), choose whether to present a timestamp column as seconds since the Unix epoch or as an ISO 8601 string, or represent fixed precision decimals as strings, not doubles, to preserve precision
+ ...and accept the same in `POST/PUT/PATCH` by configuring the reverse transformation(s)
+ Other use-cases include custom representation of enums, arrays, nested objects, CSS hex colour strings, gzip compressed fields, metric to imperial conversions, and much more
+ Works when using the `select` parameter to select only a subset of columns, embedding through complex joins, renaming fields, with views and computed columns
+ Works when filtering on a formatted column without extra indexes by parsing to the canonical representation
+ Works for data `RETURNING` operations, such as requesting the full body in a POST/PUT/PATCH with `Prefer: return=representation`
+ Works for batch updates and inserts
+ Completely optional, define the functions in the database and they will be used automatically everywhere
+ Data representations preserve the ability to write to the original column and require no extra storage or complex triggers (compared to using `GENERATED ALWAYS` columns)
+ Note: data representations require Postgres 10 (Postgres 11 if using `IN` predicates); data representations are not implemented for RPC
- #2647, Allow to verify the PostgREST version in SQL: `select distinct application_name from pg_stat_activity`. - @laurenceisla
- #2856, Add the `--version` CLI option that prints the version information - @laurenceisla
- #1655, Improve `details` field of the singular error response - @taimoorzaeem
- #740, Add `Preference-Applied` in response for `Prefer: return=representation/headers-only/minimal` - @taimoorzaeem
- #1601, Add optional `nulls=stripped` parameter for mediatypes `application/vnd.pgrst.array+json` and `application/vnd.pgrst.object+json` - @taimoorzaeem
### Fixed
- #2821, Fix OPTIONS not accepting all available media types - @steve-chavez
- #2834, Fix compilation on Ubuntu by being compatible with GHC 9.0.2 - @steve-chavez
- #2840, Fix `Prefer: missing=default` with DOMAIN default values - @steve-chavez
- #2849, Fix HEAD unnecessarily executing aggregates - @steve-chavez
- #2594, Fix unused index on jsonb/jsonb arrow filter and order (``/bets?data->>contractId=eq.1`` and ``/bets?order=data->>contractId``) - @steve-chavez
- #2861, Fix character and bit columns with fixed length not inserting/updating properly - @laurenceisla
+ Fixes the error "value too long for type character(1)" when the char length of the column was bigger than one.
- #2862, Fix null filtering on embedded resource when using a column name equal to the relation name - @steve-chavez
- #1586, Fix function parameters of type character and bit not ignoring length - @laurenceisla
+ Fixes the error "value too long for type character(1)" when the char length of the parameter was bigger than one.
- #2881, Fix error when a function returns `RECORD` or `SET OF RECORD` - @laurenceisla
- #2896, Fix applying superuser settings for impersonated role - @steve-chavez
### Deprecated
- #2863, Deprecate resource embedding target disambiguation - @steve-chavez
+ The `/table?select=*,other!fk(*)` must be used to disambiguate
+ The server aids in choosing the `!fk` by sending a `hint` on the error whenever an ambiguous request happens.
## [11.1.0] - 2023-06-07
### Added
- #2786, Limit idle postgresql connection lifetime - @robx
+ New option `db-pool-max-idletime` (default 30s).
+ This is equivalent to the old option `db-pool-timeout` of PostgREST 10.0.0.
+ A config alias for `db-pool-timeout` is included.
- #2703, Add pre-config function - @steve-chavez
+ New config option `db-pre-config`(empty by default)
+ Allows using the in-database configuration without SUPERUSER
- #2781, When `db-channel-enabled` is false, start automatic connection recovery on a new request when pool connections are closed with `pg_terminate_backend` - @steve-chavez
+ Mitigates the lack of LISTEN/NOTIFY for schema cache reloading on read replicas.
### Fixed
- #2791, Fix dropping schema cache reload notifications - @steve-chavez
- #2801, Stop retrying connection when "no password supplied" - @steve-chavez
## [11.0.1] - 2023-04-27
### Fixed
- #2762, Fixes "permission denied for schema" error during schema cache load - @steve-chavez
- #2756, Fix bad error message on generated columns when using `Prefer: missing=default` - @steve-chavez
- #1139, Allow a 30 second skew for JWT validation - @steve-chavez
+ It used to be 1 second, which was too strict
## [11.0.0] - 2023-04-16
### Added
- #1414, Add related orders - @steve-chavez
+ On a many-to-one or one-to-one relationship, you can order a parent by a child column `/projects?select=*,clients(*)&order=clients(name).desc.nullsfirst`
- #1233, #1907, #2566, Allow spreading embedded resources - @steve-chavez
+ On a many-to-one or one-to-one relationship, you can unnest a json object with `/projects?select=*,...clients(client_name:name)`
+ Allows including the join table columns when resource embedding
+ Allows disambiguating a recursive m2m embed
+ Allows disambiguating an embed that has a many-to-many relationship using two foreign keys on a junction
- #2340, Allow embedding without selecting any column - @steve-chavez
- #2563, Allow `is.null` or `not.is.null` on an embedded resource - @steve-chavez
+ Offers a more flexible replacement for `!inner`, e.g. `/projects?select=*,clients(*)&clients=not.is.null`
+ Allows doing an anti join, e.g. `/projects?select=*,clients(*)&clients=is.null`
+ Allows using or across related tables conditions
- #1100, Customizable OpenAPI title - @AnthonyFisi
- #2506, Add `server-trace-header` for tracing HTTP requests. - @steve-chavez
+ When the client sends the request header specified in the config it will be included in the response headers.
- #2694, Make `db-root-spec` stable. - @steve-chavez
+ This can be used to override the OpenAPI spec with a custom database function
- #1567, On bulk inserts, missing values can get the column DEFAULT by using the `Prefer: missing=default` header - @steve-chavez
- #2501, Allow filtering by`IS DISTINCT FROM` using the `isdistinct` operator, e.g. `/people?alias=isdistinct.foo`
- #1569, Allow `any/all` modifiers on the `eq,like,ilike,gt,gte,lt,lte,match,imatch` operators, e.g. `/tbl?id=eq(any).{1,2,3}` - @steve-chavez
- This converts the input into an array type
- #2561, Configurable role settings - @steve-chavez
- Database roles that are members of the connection role get their settings applied, e.g. doing
`ALTER ROLE anon SET statement_timeout TO '5s'` will result in that `statement_timeout` getting applied for that role.
- Works when switching roles when a JWT is sent
- Settings can be reloaded with `NOTIFY pgrst, 'reload config'`.
- #2468, Configurable transaction isolation level with `default_transaction_isolation` - @steve-chavez
- Can be set per function `create function .. set default_transaction_isolation = 'repeatable read'`
- Or per role `alter role .. set default_transaction_isolation = 'serializable'`
### Fixed
- #2651, Add the missing `get` path item for RPCs to the OpenAPI output - @laurenceisla
- #2648, Fix inaccurate error codes with new ones - @laurenceisla
+ `PGRST204`: Column is not found
+ `PGRST003`: Timed out when acquiring connection to db
- #1652, Fix function call with arguments not inlining - @steve-chavez
- #2705, Fix bug when using the `Range` header on `PATCH/DELETE` - @laurenceisla
+ Fix the`"message": "syntax error at or near \"RETURNING\""` error
+ Fix doing a limited update/delete when an `order` query parameter was present
- #2742, Fix db settings and pg version queries not getting prepared - @steve-chavez
- #2618, Fix `PATCH` requests not recognizing embedded filters and using the top-level resource instead - @steve-chavez
### Changed
- #2705, The `Range` header is now only considered on `GET` requests and is ignored for any other method - @laurenceisla
+ Other methods should use the `limit/offset` query parameters for sub-ranges
+ `PUT` requests no longer return an error when this header is present (using `limit/offset` still triggers the error)
- #2733, Remove bulk RPC call with the `Prefer: params=multiple-objects` header. A function with a JSON array or object parameter should be used instead.

# Contributing to PostgREST
This repository follows the same contribution guidelines as the main PostgREST repository contribution guidelines:
## AI Policy
We adhere to [Gentoo's AI policy](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy):
> It is expressly forbidden to contribute [...] any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, should a case been made over such a tool that does not pose copyright, ethical and quality concerns.
You can find more about its rationale [here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy#Rationale).
## Issues
For questions on how to use PostgREST, please use
[GitHub discussions](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/discussions).
### Reporting an Issue
* Make sure you test against the latest [stable release](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases/latest)
and also against the latest [devel release](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases/tag/devel).
It is possible we already fixed the bug you're experiencing.
* Provide steps to reproduce the issue, including your OS version and
the specific database schema that you are using.
* Please include SQL logs for issues involving runtime problems. To obtain logs first
[enable logging all statements](http://www.microhowto.info/howto/log_all_queries_to_a_postgresql_server.html),
then [find your logs](http://blog.endpoint.com/2014/11/dear-postgresql-where-are-my-logs.html).
* If your database schema has changed while the PostgREST server is running,
[send the server a `SIGUSR1` signal](http://postgrest.org/en/latest/admin.html#schema-reloading) or restart it to ensure the schema cache
is not stale. This sometimes fixes apparent bugs.
## Code
We have a fully nix-based development environment with many tools for a smooth development workflow available.
Check the [development docs](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md) on how to set it up and use it.
* All contributions must pass the tests before being merged. When
you create a pull request your code will automatically be tested.
* All fixes or features must have a test proving the improvement.
* All features must document the new behavior. Critical fixes that introduce new behavior must be documented too.
* All code must also pass a [linter](http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/) and [styler](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell)
with no warnings. This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers. Continuous integration will check this as well on every
pull request. There are useful tools in the nix-shell that help with checking this locally. You can run `postgrest-check` to do this manually but
we recommend adding it to `.git/hooks/pre-commit` as `nix-shell --run postgrest-check` to automatically check this before doing a commit.
### Running Tests
For instructions on running tests, see the [development docs](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md#testing).
### Structuring commits in pull requests
To simplify reviews, make it easy to split pull requests if deemed necessary, and to maintain clean and meaningful history of changes, you will be asked to update your PR if it does not follow the below rules:
* It must be possible to merge the PR branch into target using `git merge --ff-only`, ie. the source branch must be rebased on top of target.
* No merge commits in the source branch.
* All commits in the source branch must be self contained, meaning: it should be possible to treat each commit as a separate PR.
* Commits in the source branch must contain only related changes (related means the changes target a single problem/goal). For example, any refactorings should be isolated from the actual change implementation into separate commits.
* Tests, documentation, and changelog updates should be contained in the same commits as the actual code changes they relate to. An exception to this rule is when test or documentation changes are made in separate PR.
* Commit messages must be prefixed with one of the prefixes defined in [the list used by commit verification scripts](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/tools/gitTools.nix#L11).
* Commit messages should contain a longer description of the purpose of the changes contained in the commit and, for non-trivial changes, a description of the changes themselves.

PostgREST docs use the reStructuredText format, check this [cheatsheet](https://github.com/ralsina/rst-cheatsheet/blob/master/rst-cheatsheet.rst) to get acquainted with it.
To build the docs locally, see [the Nix development readme](/nix/README.md#documentation).
To build the docs locally, use [nix](https://nixos.org/nix/):
```bash
nix-shell
```
Once in the nix-shell you have the following commands available:
- `postgrest-docs-build`: Build the docs.
- `postgrest-docs-serve`: Build the docs and start a livereload server on `http://localhost:5500`.
- `postgrest-docs-spellcheck`: Run aspell.
## Documentation structure
This documentation is structured according to tutorials-howtos-topics-references. For more details on the rationale of this structure,
see https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation.
## Translating
To create `.po` files for translation into a new language pass the language code as the first argument to `postgrest-docs-build`.
Example to add German/de:
```
postgrest-docs-build de
```
The livereload server also supports a language/locale argument to show the translated docs during translation:
```
postgrest-docs-serve de
```
Spellcheck is currently only available for the default language.

## LaTeX
## UML
The schema structure diagram is done with LaTeX. You can use a GUI like https://www.mathcha.io/editor to create the .tex file.
The UML diagrams are created with https://plantuml.com/.
PlantUML only creates one diagram per file.
That's why we need to create another one for dark mode.
For example, for the file [uml/arch.uml](uml/arch.uml) there's [uml/dark/arch-dark.uml](uml/dark/arch-dark.uml) which includes the first one:
Then use this command to generate the png file.
```bash
plantuml -tsvg uml/arch.uml -o ../../_static
plantuml -tsvg -darkmode uml/dark/arch-dark.uml -o ../../../_static
pdflatex --shell-escape -halt-on-error db.tex
## and move it to the static folder(it's not easy to do it in one go with the pdflatex)
mv db.png ../_static/
```
LaTeX is used because it's a tweakable plain text format.
You can install the full latex suite with `nix`:
```
nix-env -iA texlive.combined.scheme-full
```
To tweak the file with a live reload environment use:
```bash
# open the pdf(zathura used as an example)
zathura db.pdf &
# live reload with entr
echo db.tex | entr pdflatex --shell-escape -halt-on-error db.tex

.. _admin:
Hardening PostgREST
===================
PostgREST is a fast way to construct a RESTful API. Its default behavior is great for scaffolding in development. When it's time to go to production it works great too, as long as you take precautions. PostgREST is a small sharp tool that focuses on performing the API-to-database mapping. We rely on a reverse proxy like Nginx for additional safeguards.
The first step is to create an Nginx configuration file that proxies requests to an underlying PostgREST server.
.. code-block:: nginx
http {
# ...
# upstream configuration
upstream postgrest {
server localhost:3000;
}
# ...
server {
# ...
# expose to the outside world
location /api/ {
default_type application/json;
proxy_hide_header Content-Location;
add_header Content-Location /api/$upstream_http_content_location;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_pass http://postgrest/;
}
# ...
}
}
.. note::
For ubuntu, if you already installed nginx through :code:`apt` you can add this to the config file in
:code:`/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default`.
.. _block_fulltable:
Block Full-Table Operations
---------------------------
Each table in the admin-selected schema gets exposed as a top level route. Client requests are executed by certain database roles depending on their authentication. All HTTP verbs are supported that correspond to actions permitted to the role. For instance if the active role can drop rows of the table then the DELETE verb is allowed for clients. Here's an API request to delete old rows from a hypothetical logs table:
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: http
DELETE /logs?time=lt.1991-08-06 HTTP/1.1
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs?time=lt.1991-08-06" -X DELETE
However it's very easy to delete the **entire table** by omitting the query parameter!
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: http
DELETE /logs HTTP/1.1
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs" -X DELETE
This can happen accidentally such as by switching a request from a GET to a DELETE. To protect against accidental operations use the `pg-safeupdate <https://github.com/eradman/pg-safeupdate>`_ PostgreSQL extension. It raises an error if UPDATE or DELETE are executed without specifying conditions. To install it you can use the `PGXN <https://pgxn.org/>`_ network:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo -E pgxn install safeupdate
# then add this to postgresql.conf:
# shared_preload_libraries='safeupdate';
This does not protect against malicious actions, since someone can add a url parameter that does not affect the result set. To prevent this you must turn to database permissions, forbidding the wrong people from deleting rows, and using `row-level security <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-rowsecurity.html>`_ if finer access control is required.
Count-Header DoS
----------------
For convenience to client-side pagination controls PostgREST supports counting and reporting total table size in its response. As described in :ref:`limits`, responses ordinarily include a range but leave the total unspecified like
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Range-Unit: items
Content-Range: 0-14/*
However including the request header :code:`Prefer: count=exact` calculates and includes the full count:
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Range-Unit: items
Content-Range: 0-14/3573458
This is fine in small tables, but count performance degrades in big tables due to the MVCC architecture of PostgreSQL. For very large tables it can take a very long time to retrieve the results which allows a denial of service attack. The solution is to strip this header from all requests:
.. code-block:: postgres
-- Pending nginx config: Remove any prefer header which contains the word count
.. _https:
HTTPS
-----
PostgREST aims to do one thing well: add an HTTP interface to a PostgreSQL database. To keep the code small and focused we do not implement HTTPS. Use a reverse proxy such as NGINX to add this, `here's how <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html>`_. Note that some Platforms as a Service like Heroku also add SSL automatically in their load balancer.
Rate Limiting
-------------
Nginx supports "leaky bucket" rate limiting (see `official docs <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html>`_). Using standard Nginx configuration, routes can be grouped into *request zones* for rate limiting. For instance we can define a zone for login attempts:
.. code-block:: nginx
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=login:10m rate=1r/s;
This creates a shared memory zone called "login" to store a log of IP addresses that access the rate limited urls. The space reserved, 10 MB (:code:`10m`) will give us enough space to store a history of 160k requests. We have chosen to allow only allow one request per second (:code:`1r/s`).
Next we apply the zone to certain routes, like a hypothetical stored procedure called :code:`login`.
.. code-block:: nginx
location /rpc/login/ {
# apply rate limiting
limit_req zone=login burst=5;
}
The burst argument tells Nginx to start dropping requests if more than five queue up from a specific IP.
Nginx rate limiting is general and indiscriminate. To rate limit each authenticated request individually you will need to add logic in a :ref:`Custom Validation <custom_validation>` function.
.. _external_connection_poolers:
Using External Connection Poolers
---------------------------------
PostgREST manages its :ref:`own pool of connections <db-pool>` and uses prepared statements by default in order to increase performance. However, this setting is incompatible with external connection poolers such as PgBouncer working in transaction pooling mode. In this case, you need to set the :ref:`db-prepared-statements` config option to ``false``. On the other hand, session pooling is fully compatible with PostgREST, while statement pooling is not compatible at all.
.. note::
If prepared statements are enabled, PostgREST will quit after detecting that transaction or statement pooling is being used.
You should also set the :ref:`db-channel-enabled` config option to ``false``, due to the ``LISTEN`` command not being compatible with transaction pooling, although it should not give any errors if it's left enabled by default.
Debugging
=========
Server Version
--------------
When debugging a problem it's important to verify the PostgREST version. At any time you can make a request to the running server and determine exactly which version is deployed. Look for the :code:`Server` HTTP response header, which contains the version number.
Errors
------
See the :doc:`Errors <errors>` reference page for detailed information on the errors that PostgREST returns.
.. _pgrst_logging:
Logging
-------
PostgREST logs basic request information to ``stdout``, including the authenticated user if available, the requesting IP address and user agent, the URL requested, and HTTP response status.
.. code::
127.0.0.1 - user [26/Jul/2021:01:56:38 -0500] "GET /clients HTTP/1.1" 200 - "" "curl/7.64.0"
127.0.0.1 - anonymous [26/Jul/2021:01:56:48 -0500] "GET /unexistent HTTP/1.1" 404 - "" "curl/7.64.0"
For diagnostic information about the server itself, PostgREST logs to ``stderr``.
.. code::
12/Jun/2021:17:47:39 -0500: Attempting to connect to the database...
12/Jun/2021:17:47:39 -0500: Listening on port 3000
12/Jun/2021:17:47:39 -0500: Connection successful
12/Jun/2021:17:47:39 -0500: Config re-loaded
12/Jun/2021:17:47:40 -0500: Schema cache loaded
.. note::
When running it in an SSH session you must detach it from stdout or it will be terminated when the session closes. The easiest technique is redirecting the output to a log file or to the syslog:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh foo@example.com \
'postgrest foo.conf </dev/null >/var/log/postgrest.log 2>&1 &'
# another option is to pipe the output into "logger -t postgrest"
PostgREST logging provides limited information for debugging server errors. It's helpful to get full information about both client requests and the corresponding SQL commands executed against the underlying database.
HTTP Requests
-------------
A great way to inspect incoming HTTP requests including headers and query parameters is to sniff the network traffic on the port where PostgREST is running. For instance on a development server bound to port 3000 on localhost, run this:
.. code:: bash
# sudo access is necessary for watching the network
sudo ngrep -d lo0 port 3000
The options to ngrep vary depending on the address and host on which you've bound the server. The binding is described in the :ref:`configuration` section. The ngrep output isn't particularly pretty, but it's legible.
.. _automatic_recovery:
Automatic Connection Recovery
-----------------------------
When PostgREST loses the connection to the database, it retries the connection using capped exponential backoff, with 32 seconds being the maximum backoff time.
This retry behavior is triggered immediately after the connection is lost if :ref:`db-channel-enabled` is set to true(the default), otherwise it will be activated once a request is made.
To notify the client when the next reconnection attempt will be, PostgREST responds with ``503 Service Unavailable`` and the ``Retry-After: x`` header, where ``x`` is the number of seconds programmed for the next retry.
Database Logs
-------------
Once you've verified that requests are as you expect, you can get more information about the server operations by watching the database logs. By default PostgreSQL does not keep these logs, so you'll need to make the configuration changes below. Find :code:`postgresql.conf` inside your PostgreSQL data directory (to find that, issue the command :code:`show data_directory;`). Either find the settings scattered throughout the file and change them to the following values, or append this block of code to the end of the configuration file.
.. code:: sql
# send logs where the collector can access them
log_destination = "stderr"
# collect stderr output to log files
logging_collector = on
# save logs in pg_log/ under the pg data directory
log_directory = "pg_log"
# (optional) new log file per day
log_filename = "postgresql-%Y-%m-%d.log"
# log every kind of SQL statement
log_statement = "all"
Restart the database and watch the log file in real-time to understand how HTTP requests are being translated into SQL commands.
.. note::
On Docker you can enable the logs by using a custom ``init.sh``:
.. code:: bash
#!/bin/sh
echo "log_statement = 'all'" >> /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf
After that you can start the container and check the logs with ``docker logs``.
.. code:: bash
docker run -v "$(pwd)/init.sh":"/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sh" -d postgres
docker logs -f <container-id>
Schema Reloading
----------------
Changing the schema while the server is running can lead to errors due to a stale schema cache. To learn how to refresh the cache see :ref:`schema_reloading`.
.. _health_check:
Health Check
------------
You can enable a minimal health check to verify if PostgREST is available for client requests and to check the status of its internal state.
To do this, set the configuration variable :ref:`admin-server-port` to the port number of your preference. Two endpoints ``live`` and ``ready`` will then be available.
The ``live`` endpoint verifies if PostgREST is running on its configured port. A request will return ``200 OK`` if PostgREST is alive or ``503`` otherwise.
The ``ready`` endpoint also checks the state of both the Database Connection and the :ref:`schema_cache`. A request will return ``200 OK`` if it is ready or ``503`` if not.
For instance, to verify if PostgREST is running at ``localhost:3000`` while the ``admin-server-port`` is set to ``3001``:
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: http
GET localhost:3001/live HTTP/1.1
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl -I "http://localhost:3001/live"
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
If you have a machine with multiple network interfaces and multiple PostgREST instances in the same port, you need to specify a unique :ref:`hostname <server-host>` in the configuration of each PostgREST instance for the health check to work correctly. Don't use the special values(``!4``, ``*``, etc) in this case because the health check could report a false positive.
Daemonizing
===========
For Linux distributions that use **systemd** (Ubuntu, Debian, Archlinux) you can create a daemon in the following way.
First, create postgrest configuration in ``/etc/postgrest/config``
.. code-block:: ini
db-uri = "postgres://<your_user>:<your_password>@localhost:5432/<your_db>"
db-schemas = "<your_exposed_schema>"
db-anon-role = "<your_anon_role>"
jwt-secret = "<your_secret>"
Then create the systemd service file in ``/etc/systemd/system/postgrest.service``
.. code-block:: ini
[Unit]
Description=REST API for any PostgreSQL database
After=postgresql.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/postgrest /etc/postgrest/config
ExecReload=/bin/kill -SIGUSR1 $MAINPID
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
After that, you can enable the service at boot time and start it with:
.. code-block:: bash
systemctl enable postgrest
systemctl start postgrest
## For reloading the service
## systemctl restart postgrest
.. _file_descriptors:
File Descriptors
----------------
File descriptors are kernel resources that are used by HTTP connections (among others). File descriptors are limited per process. The kernel default limit is 1024, which is increased in some Linux distributions.
When under heavy traffic, PostgREST can reach this limit and start showing ``No file descriptors available`` errors. To clear these errors, you can increase the process' file descriptor limit.
.. code-block:: ini
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=10000
Alternate URL Structure
=======================
As discussed in :ref:`singular_plural`, there are no special URL forms for singular resources in PostgREST, only operators for filtering. Thus there are no URLs like :code:`/people/1`. It would be specified instead as
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: http
GET /people?id=eq.1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object+json
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/people?id=eq.1" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object+json"
This allows compound primary keys and makes the intent for singular response independent of a URL convention.
Nginx rewrite rules allow you to simulate the familiar URL convention. The following example adds a rewrite rule for all table endpoints, but you'll want to restrict it to those tables that have a numeric simple primary key named "id."
.. code-block:: nginx
# support /endpoint/:id url style
location ~ ^/([a-z_]+)/([0-9]+) {
# make the response singular
proxy_set_header Accept 'application/vnd.pgrst.object+json';
# assuming an upstream named "postgrest"
proxy_pass http://postgrest/$1?id=eq.$2;
}

.. _roles:
Overview of Role System
=======================
PostgREST is designed to keep the database at the center of API security. All authorization happens through database roles and permissions. It is PostgREST's job to **authenticate** requests -- i.e. verify that a client is who they say they are -- and then let the database **authorize** client actions.
Authentication Sequence
-----------------------
There are three types of roles used by PostgREST, the **authenticator**, **anonymous** and **user** roles. The database administrator creates these roles and configures PostgREST to use them.
.. image:: _static/security-roles.png
The authenticator should be created :code:`NOINHERIT` and configured in the database to have very limited access. It is a chameleon whose job is to "become" other users to service authenticated HTTP requests. The picture below shows how the server handles authentication. If auth succeeds, it switches into the user role specified by the request, otherwise it switches into the anonymous role (if it's set in :ref:`db-anon-role`).
.. image:: _static/security-anon-choice.png
Here are the technical details. We use `JSON Web Tokens <https://jwt.io/>`_ to authenticate API requests. As you'll recall a JWT contains a list of cryptographically signed claims. All claims are allowed but PostgREST cares specifically about a claim called role.
.. code:: json
{
"role": "user123"
}
When a request contains a valid JWT with a role claim PostgREST will switch to the database role with that name for the duration of the HTTP request.
.. code:: sql
SET LOCAL ROLE user123;
Note that the database administrator must allow the authenticator role to switch into this user by previously executing
.. code:: sql
GRANT user123 TO authenticator;
If the client included no JWT (or one without a role claim) then PostgREST switches into the anonymous role whose actual database-specific name, like that of with the authenticator role, is specified in the PostgREST server configuration file. The database administrator must set anonymous role permissions correctly to prevent anonymous users from seeing or changing things they shouldn't.
Users and Groups
----------------
PostgreSQL manages database access permissions using the concept of roles. A role can be thought of as either a database user, or a group of database users, depending on how the role is set up.
Roles for Each Web User
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PostgREST can accommodate either viewpoint. If you treat a role as a single user then the JWT-based role switching described above does most of what you need. When an authenticated user makes a request PostgREST will switch into the role for that user, which in addition to restricting queries, is available to SQL through the :code:`current_user` variable.
You can use row-level security to flexibly restrict visibility and access for the current user. Here is an `example <https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/application-users-vs-row-level-security/>`_ from Tomas Vondra, a chat table storing messages sent between users. Users can insert rows into it to send messages to other users, and query it to see messages sent to them by other users.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE TABLE chat (
message_uuid UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
message_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
message_from NAME NOT NULL DEFAULT current_user,
message_to NAME NOT NULL,
message_subject VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
message_body TEXT
);
ALTER TABLE chat ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
We want to enforce a policy that ensures a user can see only those messages sent by them or intended for them. Also we want to prevent a user from forging the message_from column with another person's name.
PostgreSQL allows us to set this policy with row-level security:
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE POLICY chat_policy ON chat
USING ((message_to = current_user) OR (message_from = current_user))
WITH CHECK (message_from = current_user)
Anyone accessing the generated API endpoint for the chat table will see exactly the rows they should, without our needing custom imperative server-side coding.
.. warning::
Roles are namespaced per-cluster rather than per-database so they may be prone to collision.
Web Users Sharing Role
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alternately database roles can represent groups instead of (or in addition to) individual users. You may choose that all signed-in users for a web app share the role webuser. You can distinguish individual users by including extra claims in the JWT such as email.
.. code:: json
{
"role": "webuser",
"email": "john@doe.com"
}
SQL code can access claims through GUC variables set by PostgREST per request. For instance to get the email claim, call this function:
For PostgreSQL server version >= 14
.. code:: sql
current_setting('request.jwt.claims', true)::json->>'email';
For PostgreSQL server version < 14
.. code:: sql
current_setting('request.jwt.claim.email', true);
This allows JWT generation services to include extra information and your database code to react to it. For instance the RLS example could be modified to use this current_setting rather than current_user. The second 'true' argument tells current_setting to return NULL if the setting is missing from the current configuration.
Hybrid User-Group Roles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can mix the group and individual role policies. For instance we could still have a webuser role and individual users which inherit from it:
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE ROLE webuser NOLOGIN;
-- grant this role access to certain tables etc
CREATE ROLE user000 NOLOGIN;
GRANT webuser TO user000;
-- now user000 can do whatever webuser can
GRANT user000 TO authenticator;
-- allow authenticator to switch into user000 role
-- (the role itself has nologin)
.. _custom_validation:
Custom Validation
-----------------
PostgREST honors the :code:`exp` claim for token expiration, rejecting expired tokens. However it does not enforce any extra constraints. An example of an extra constraint would be to immediately revoke access for a certain user. The configuration file parameter :code:`db-pre-request` specifies a stored procedure to call immediately after the authenticator switches into a new role and before the main query itself runs.
Here's an example. In the config file specify a stored procedure:
.. code:: ini
db-pre-request = "public.check_user"
In the function you can run arbitrary code to check the request and raise an exception to block it if desired.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_user() RETURNS void AS $$
BEGIN
IF current_user = 'evil_user' THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'No, you are evil'
USING HINT = 'Stop being so evil and maybe you can log in';
END IF;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
.. _client_auth:
Client Auth
===========
To make an authenticated request the client must include an :code:`Authorization` HTTP header with the value :code:`Bearer <jwt>`. For instance:
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: http
GET /foo HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjoiamRvZSIsImV4cCI6MTQ3NTUxNjI1MH0.GYDZV3yM0gqvuEtJmfpplLBXSGYnke_Pvnl0tbKAjB4
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/foo" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjoiamRvZSIsImV4cCI6MTQ3NTUxNjI1MH0.GYDZV3yM0gqvuEtJmfpplLBXSGYnke_Pvnl0tbKAjB4"
The ``Bearer`` header value can be used with or without capitalization(``bearer``).
JWT Generation
--------------
You can create a valid JWT either from inside your database or via an external service. Each token is cryptographically signed with a secret key. In the case of symmetric cryptography the signer and verifier share the same secret passphrase. In asymmetric cryptography the signer uses the private key and the verifier the public key. PostgREST supports both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography.
JWT from SQL
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can create JWT tokens in SQL using the `pgjwt extension <https://github.com/michelp/pgjwt>`_. It's simple and requires only pgcrypto. If you're on an environment like Amazon RDS which doesn't support installing new extensions, you can still manually run the `SQL inside pgjwt <https://github.com/michelp/pgjwt/blob/master/pgjwt--0.1.1.sql>`_ (you'll need to replace ``@extschema@`` with another schema or just delete it) which creates the functions you will need.
Next write a stored procedure that returns the token. The one below returns a token with a hard-coded role, which expires five minutes after it was issued. Note this function has a hard-coded secret as well.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE TYPE jwt_token AS (
token text
);
CREATE FUNCTION jwt_test() RETURNS public.jwt_token AS $$
SELECT public.sign(
row_to_json(r), 'reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe'
) AS token
FROM (
SELECT
'my_role'::text as role,
extract(epoch from now())::integer + 300 AS exp
) r;
$$ LANGUAGE sql;
PostgREST exposes this function to clients via a POST request to ``/rpc/jwt_test``.
.. note::
To avoid hard-coding the secret in stored procedures, save it as a property of the database.
.. code-block:: postgres
-- run this once
ALTER DATABASE mydb SET "app.jwt_secret" TO 'reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe';
-- then all functions can refer to app.jwt_secret
SELECT sign(
row_to_json(r), current_setting('app.jwt_secret')
) AS token
FROM ...
JWT from Auth0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An external service like `Auth0 <https://auth0.com/>`_ can do the hard work transforming OAuth from Github, Twitter, Google etc into a JWT suitable for PostgREST. Auth0 can also handle email signup and password reset flows.
To use Auth0, create `an application <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/applications>`_ for your app and `an API <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis>`_ for your PostgREST server. Auth0 supports both HS256 and RS256 scheme for the issued tokens for APIs. For simplicity, you may first try HS256 scheme while creating your API on Auth0. Your application should use your PostgREST API's `API identifier <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis/api-settings>`_ by setting it with the `audience parameter <https://auth0.com/docs/secure/tokens/access-tokens/get-access-tokens#control-access-token-audience>`_ during the authorization request. This will ensure that Auth0 will issue an access token for your PostgREST API. For PostgREST to verify the access token, you will need to set ``jwt-secret`` on PostgREST config file with your API's signing secret.
.. note::
Our code requires a database role in the JWT. To add it you need to save the database role in Auth0 `app metadata <https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/user-accounts/metadata/manage-metadata-rules>`_. Then, you will need to write `a rule <https://auth0.com/docs/customize/rules>`_ that will extract the role from the user's app_metadata and set it as a `custom claim <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis/scopes/sample-use-cases-scopes-and-claims#add-custom-claims-to-a-token>`_ in the access token. Note that, you may use Auth0's `core authorization feature <https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/access-control/rbac>`_ for more complex use cases. Metadata solution is mentioned here for simplicity.
.. code:: javascript
function (user, context, callback) {
// Follow the documentations at
// https://postgrest.org/en/latest/configuration.html#db-role-claim-key
// to set a custom role claim on PostgREST
// and use it as custom claim attribute in this rule
const myRoleClaim = 'https://myapp.com/role';
user.app_metadata = user.app_metadata || {};
context.accessToken[myRoleClaim] = user.app_metadata.role;
callback(null, user, context);
}
.. _asym_keys:
Asymmetric Keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As described in the :ref:`configuration` section, PostgREST accepts a ``jwt-secret`` config file parameter. If it is set to a simple string value like "reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe" then PostgREST interprets it as an HMAC-SHA256 passphrase. However you can also specify a literal JSON Web Key (JWK) or set. For example, you can use an RSA-256 public key encoded as a JWK:
.. code-block:: json
{
"alg":"RS256",
"e":"AQAB",
"key_ops":["verify"],
"kty":"RSA",
"n":"9zKNYTaYGfGm1tBMpRT6FxOYrM720GhXdettc02uyakYSEHU2IJz90G_MLlEl4-WWWYoS_QKFupw3s7aPYlaAjamG22rAnvWu-rRkP5sSSkKvud_IgKL4iE6Y2WJx2Bkl1XUFkdZ8wlEUR6O1ft3TS4uA-qKifSZ43CahzAJyUezOH9shI--tirC028lNg767ldEki3WnVr3zokSujC9YJ_9XXjw2hFBfmJUrNb0-wldvxQbFU8RPXip-GQ_JPTrCTZhrzGFeWPvhA6Rqmc3b1PhM9jY7Dur1sjYWYVyXlFNCK3c-6feo5WlRfe1aCWmwZQh6O18eTmLeT4nWYkDzQ"
}
.. note::
This could also be a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) if it was contained within an array assigned to a `keys` member, e.g. ``{ keys: [jwk1, jwk2] }``.
Just pass it in as a single line string, escaping the quotes:
.. code-block:: ini
jwt-secret = "{ \"alg\":\"RS256\", … }"
To generate such a public/private key pair use a utility like `latchset/jose <https://github.com/latchset/jose>`_.
.. code-block:: bash
jose jwk gen -i '{"alg": "RS256"}' -o rsa.jwk
jose jwk pub -i rsa.jwk -o rsa.jwk.pub
# now rsa.jwk.pub contains the desired JSON object
You can specify the literal value as we saw earlier, or reference a filename to load the JWK from a file:
.. code-block:: ini
jwt-secret = "@rsa.jwk.pub"
JWT security
~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are at least three types of common critiques against using JWT: 1) against the standard itself, 2) against using libraries with known security vulnerabilities, and 3) against using JWT for web sessions. We'll briefly explain each critique, how PostgREST deals with it, and give recommendations for appropriate user action.
The critique against the `JWT standard <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519>`_ is voiced in detail `elsewhere on the web <https://web.archive.org/web/20230123041631/https://paragonie.com/blog/2017/03/jwt-json-web-tokens-is-bad-standard-that-everyone-should-avoid>`_. The most relevant part for PostgREST is the so-called :code:`alg=none` issue. Some servers implementing JWT allow clients to choose the algorithm used to sign the JWT. In this case, an attacker could set the algorithm to :code:`none`, remove the need for any signature at all and gain unauthorized access. The current implementation of PostgREST, however, does not allow clients to set the signature algorithm in the HTTP request, making this attack irrelevant. The critique against the standard is that it requires the implementation of the :code:`alg=none` at all.
Critiques against JWT libraries are only relevant to PostgREST via the library it uses. As mentioned above, not allowing clients to choose the signature algorithm in HTTP requests removes the greatest risk. Another more subtle attack is possible where servers use asymmetric algorithms like RSA for signatures. Once again this is not relevant to PostgREST since it is not supported. Curious readers can find more information in `this article <https://auth0.com/blog/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-token-libraries/>`_. Recommendations about high quality libraries for usage in API clients can be found on `jwt.io <https://jwt.io/>`_.
The last type of critique focuses on the misuse of JWT for maintaining web sessions. The basic recommendation is to `stop using JWT for sessions <http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/06/13/stop-using-jwt-for-sessions/>`_ because most, if not all, solutions to the problems that arise when you do, `do not work <http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/06/19/stop-using-jwt-for-sessions-part-2-why-your-solution-doesnt-work/>`_. The linked articles discuss the problems in depth but the essence of the problem is that JWT is not designed to be secure and stateful units for client-side storage and therefore not suited to session management.
PostgREST uses JWT mainly for authentication and authorization purposes and encourages users to do the same. For web sessions, using cookies over HTTPS is good enough and well catered for by standard web frameworks.
Schema Isolation
================
You can isolate your api schema from internal implementation details, as explained in :ref:`schema_isolation`. For an example of wrapping a private table with a public view see the :ref:`public_ui` section below.
.. _sql_user_management:
SQL User Management
===================
Storing Users and Passwords
---------------------------
As mentioned, an external service can provide user management and coordinate with the PostgREST server using JWT. It's also possible to support logins entirely through SQL. It's a fair bit of work, so get ready.
The following table, functions, and triggers will live in a :code:`basic_auth` schema that you shouldn't expose publicly in the API. The public views and functions will live in a different schema which internally references this internal information.
First we'll need a table to keep track of our users:
.. code:: sql
-- We put things inside the basic_auth schema to hide
-- them from public view. Certain public procs/views will
-- refer to helpers and tables inside.
create schema if not exists basic_auth;
create table if not exists
basic_auth.users (
email text primary key check ( email ~* '^.+@.+\..+$' ),
pass text not null check (length(pass) < 512),
role name not null check (length(role) < 512)
);
We would like the role to be a foreign key to actual database roles, however PostgreSQL does not support these constraints against the :code:`pg_roles` table. We'll use a trigger to manually enforce it.
.. code-block:: plpgsql
create or replace function
basic_auth.check_role_exists() returns trigger as $$
begin
if not exists (select 1 from pg_roles as r where r.rolname = new.role) then
raise foreign_key_violation using message =
'unknown database role: ' || new.role;
return null;
end if;
return new;
end
$$ language plpgsql;
drop trigger if exists ensure_user_role_exists on basic_auth.users;
create constraint trigger ensure_user_role_exists
after insert or update on basic_auth.users
for each row
execute procedure basic_auth.check_role_exists();
Next we'll use the pgcrypto extension and a trigger to keep passwords safe in the :code:`users` table.
.. code-block:: plpgsql
create extension if not exists pgcrypto;
create or replace function
basic_auth.encrypt_pass() returns trigger as $$
begin
if tg_op = 'INSERT' or new.pass <> old.pass then
new.pass = crypt(new.pass, gen_salt('bf'));
end if;
return new;
end
$$ language plpgsql;
drop trigger if exists encrypt_pass on basic_auth.users;
create trigger encrypt_pass
before insert or update on basic_auth.users
for each row
execute procedure basic_auth.encrypt_pass();
With the table in place we can make a helper to check a password against the encrypted column. It returns the database role for a user if the email and password are correct.
.. code-block:: plpgsql
create or replace function
basic_auth.user_role(email text, pass text) returns name
language plpgsql
as $$
begin
return (
select role from basic_auth.users
where users.email = user_role.email
and users.pass = crypt(user_role.pass, users.pass)
);
end;
$$;
.. _public_ui:
Public User Interface
---------------------
In the previous section we created an internal table to store user information. Here we create a login function which takes an email address and password and returns JWT if the credentials match a user in the internal table.
Permissions
~~~~~~~~~~~
Your database roles need access to the schema, tables, views and functions in order to service HTTP requests.
Recall from the `Overview of Role System`_ that PostgREST uses special roles to process requests, namely the authenticator and
anonymous roles. Below is an example of permissions that allow anonymous users to create accounts and attempt to log in.
.. code-block:: postgres
-- the names "anon" and "authenticator" are configurable and not
-- sacred, we simply choose them for clarity
create role anon noinherit;
create role authenticator noinherit;
grant anon to authenticator;
Then, add ``db-anon-role`` to the configuration file to allow anonymous requests.
.. code:: ini
db-anon-role = "anon"
Logins
~~~~~~
As described in `JWT from SQL`_, we'll create a JWT inside our login function. Note that you'll need to adjust the secret key which is hard-coded in this example to a secure (at least thirty-two character) secret of your choosing.
.. code-block:: postgres
-- add type
CREATE TYPE basic_auth.jwt_token AS (
token text
);
-- login should be on your exposed schema
create or replace function
login(email text, pass text) returns basic_auth.jwt_token as $$
declare
_role name;
result basic_auth.jwt_token;
begin
-- check email and password
select basic_auth.user_role(email, pass) into _role;
if _role is null then
raise invalid_password using message = 'invalid user or password';
end if;
select sign(
row_to_json(r), 'reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe'
) as token
from (
select _role as role, login.email as email,
extract(epoch from now())::integer + 60*60 as exp
) r
into result;
return result;
end;
$$ language plpgsql security definer;
grant execute on function login(text,text) to anon;
Since the above :code:`login` function is defined as `security definer <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createfunction.html#id-1.9.3.67.10.2>`_,
the anonymous user :code:`anon` doesn't need permission to read the :code:`basic_auth.users` table. It doesn't even need permission to access the :code:`basic_auth` schema.
:code:`grant execute on function` is included for clarity but it might not be needed, see :ref:`func_privs` for more details.
An API request to call this function would look like:
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: http
POST /rpc/login HTTP/1.1
{ "email": "foo@bar.com", "pass": "foobar" }
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/rpc/login" \
-X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "email": "foo@bar.com", "pass": "foobar" }'
The response would look like the snippet below. Try decoding the token at `jwt.io <https://jwt.io/>`_. (It was encoded with a secret of :code:`reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe` as specified in the SQL code above. You'll want to change this secret in your app!)
.. code:: json
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6ImZvb0BiYXIuY29tIiwicGFzcyI6ImZvb2JhciJ9.37066TTRlh-1hXhnA9oO9Pj6lgL6zFuJU0iCHhuCFno"
}

.. _configuration:
Configuration
=============
Without configuration, PostgREST won't be able to serve requests. At the minimum it needs either :ref:`a role to serve anonymous requests with <db-anon-role>` - or :ref:`a secret to use for JWT authentication <jwt-secret>`. Config parameters can be provided via :ref:`file_config`, via :ref:`env_variables_config` or through :ref:`in_db_config`.
To connect to a database it uses a `libpq connection string <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING>`_. The connection string can be set in the configuration file or via environment variable or can be read from an external file. See :ref:`db-uri` for details. Any parameter that is not set in the connection string is read from `libpq environment variables <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html>`_. The default connection string is ``postgresql://``, which reads **all** parameters from the environment.
The user with whom PostgREST connects to the database is also known as the authenticator role. For more information about the anonymous vs authenticator roles see :ref:`roles`.
Config parameters are read in the following order:
1. From the config file.
2. From environment variables, overriding values from the config file.
3. From the database, overriding values from both the config file and environment variables.
.. _file_config:
Config File
-----------
PostgREST can read a config file. There is no predefined location for this file, you must specify the file path as the one and only argument to the server:
.. code:: bash
./postgrest /path/to/postgrest.conf
.. note::
Configuration can be reloaded without restarting the server. See :ref:`config_reloading`.
The configuration file must contain a set of key value pairs:
.. code::
# postgrest.conf
# The standard connection URI format, documented at
# https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING
db-uri = "postgres://user:pass@host:5432/dbname"
# The database role to use when no client authentication is provided.
# Should differ from authenticator
db-anon-role = "anon"
# The secret to verify the JWT for authenticated requests with.
# Needs to be 32 characters minimum.
jwt-secret = "reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe"
jwt-secret-is-base64 = False
# Port the postgrest process is listening on for http requests
server-port = 80
You can run ``postgrest --example`` to display all possible configuration parameters and how to use them in a configuration file.
.. _env_variables_config:
Environment Variables
---------------------
You can also set these :ref:`configuration parameters <config_full_list>` using environment variables. They are capitalized, have a ``PGRST_`` prefix, and use underscores. For example: ``PGRST_DB_URI`` corresponds to ``db-uri`` and ``PGRST_APP_SETTINGS_*`` to ``app.settings.*``.
.. _in_db_config:
In-Database Configuration
-------------------------
By adding settings to the **authenticator** role (see :ref:`roles`), you can make the database the single source of truth for PostgREST's configuration.
This is enabled by :ref:`db-config`.
For example, you can configure :ref:`db-schemas` and :ref:`jwt-secret` like this:
.. code:: postgresql
ALTER ROLE authenticator SET pgrst.db_schemas = "tenant1, tenant2, tenant3"
ALTER ROLE authenticator IN DATABASE <your_database_name> SET pgrst.jwt_secret = "REALLYREALLYREALLYREALLYVERYSAFE"
You can use both database-specific settings with `IN DATABASE` and cluster-wide settings without it. Database-specific settings will override cluster-wide settings if both are used for the same parameter.
Note that underscores(``_``) need to be used instead of dashes(``-``) for the in-database config parameters.
.. important::
For altering a role in this way, you need a SUPERUSER. You might not be able to use this configuration mode on cloud-hosted databases.
When using both the configuration file and the in-database configuration, the latter takes precedence.
.. danger::
If direct connections to the database are allowed, then it's not safe to use the in-db configuration for storing the :ref:`jwt-secret`.
The settings of every role are PUBLIC - they can be viewed by any user that queries the ``pg_catalog.pg_db_role_setting`` table.
In this case you should keep the :ref:`jwt-secret` in the configuration file or as environment variables.
.. _config_reloading:
Configuration Reloading
=======================
It's possible to reload PostgREST's configuration without restarting the server. You can do this :ref:`via signal <config_reloading_signal>` or :ref:`via notification <config_reloading_notify>`.
It's not possible to change :ref:`env_variables_config` for a running process and reloading a Docker container configuration will not work. In these cases, you need to restart the PostgREST server or use :ref:`in_db_config` as an alternative.
.. important::
The following settings will not be reloaded. You will need to restart PostgREST to change those.
* :ref:`admin-server-port`
* :ref:`db-uri`
* :ref:`db-pool`
* :ref:`db-pool-acquisition-timeout`
* :ref:`db-pool-max-lifetime`
* :ref:`server-host`
* :ref:`server-port`
* :ref:`server-unix-socket`
* :ref:`server-unix-socket-mode`
.. _config_reloading_signal:
Reload with signal
------------------
To reload the configuration via signal, send a SIGUSR2 signal to the server process.
.. code:: bash
killall -SIGUSR2 postgrest
.. _config_reloading_notify:
Reload with NOTIFY
------------------
To reload the configuration from within the database, you can use a NOTIFY command.

.. _admin-server-port:
admin-server-port
-----------------
=============== =======================
**Environment** PGRST_ADMIN_SERVER_PORT
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =======================
Specifies the port for the :ref:`health_check` endpoints.
.. _app.settings.*:
app.settings.*
--------------
=============== ====================
**Environment** PGRST_APP_SETTINGS_*
**In-Database** pgrst.app_settings_*
=============== ====================
Arbitrary settings that can be used to pass in secret keys directly as strings, or via OS environment variables. For instance: :code:`app.settings.jwt_secret = "$(MYAPP_JWT_SECRET)"` will take :code:`MYAPP_JWT_SECRET` from the environment and make it available to postgresql functions as :code:`current_setting('app.settings.jwt_secret')`.
.. _db-anon-role:
db-anon-role
------------
=============== ==================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_ANON_ROLE
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== ==================
The database role to use when executing commands on behalf of unauthenticated clients. For more information, see :ref:`roles`.
When unset anonymous access will be blocked.
.. _db-channel:
db-channel
----------
=============== ================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_CHANNEL
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== ================
The name of the notification channel that PostgREST uses for :ref:`schema_reloading` and configuration reloading.
.. _db-channel-enabled:
db-channel-enabled
------------------
=============== ========================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_CHANNEL_ENABLED
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== ========================
When this is set to :code:`true`, the notification channel specified in :ref:`db-channel` is enabled.
You should set this to ``false`` when using PostgresSQL behind an external connection pooler such as PgBouncer working in transaction pooling mode. See :ref:`this section <external_connection_poolers>` for more information.
.. _db-config:
db-config
---------
=============== ===============
**Environment** PGRST_DB_CONFIG
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== ===============
Enables the in-database configuration.
.. _db-extra-search-path:
db-extra-search-path
--------------------
=============== ==========================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_EXTRA_SEARCH_PATH
**In-Database** pgrst.db_extra_search_path
=============== ==========================
Extra schemas to add to the `search_path <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH>`_ of every request. These schemas tables, views and stored procedures **don't get API endpoints**, they can only be referred from the database objects inside your :ref:`db-schemas`.
This parameter was meant to make it easier to use **PostgreSQL extensions** (like PostGIS) that are outside of the :ref:`db-schemas`.
Multiple schemas can be added in a comma-separated string, e.g. ``public, extensions``.
.. _db-max-rows:
db-max-rows
-----------
*For backwards compatibility, this config parameter is also available without prefix as "max-rows".*
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_MAX_ROWS
**In-Database** pgrst.db_max_rows
=============== =================
A hard limit to the number of rows PostgREST will fetch from a view, table, or stored procedure. Limits payload size for accidental or malicious requests.
.. _db-plan-enabled:
db-plan-enabled
---------------
=============== =====================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_PLAN_ENABLED
**In-Database** pgrst.db_plan_enabled
=============== =====================
When this is set to :code:`true`, the execution plan of a request can be retrieved by using the :code:`Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.plan` header. See :ref:`explain_plan`.
It's recommended to use this in testing environments only since it reveals internal database details.
However, if you choose to use it in production you can add a :ref:`db-pre-request` to filter the requests that can use this feature.
For example, to only allow requests from an IP address to get the execution plans:
.. code-block:: postgresql
-- Assuming a proxy(Nginx, Cloudflare, etc) passes an "X-Forwarded-For" header(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For)
create or replace function filter_plan_requests()
returns void as $$
declare
headers json := current_setting('request.headers', true)::json;
client_ip text := coalesce(headers->>'x-forwarded-for', '');
accept text := coalesce(headers->>'accept', '');
begin
if accept like 'application/vnd.pgrst.plan%' and client_ip != '144.96.121.73' then
raise insufficient_privilege using
message = 'Not allowed to use application/vnd.pgrst.plan';
end if;
end; $$ language plpgsql;
-- set this function on your postgrest.conf
-- db-pre-request = filter_plan_requests
.. _db-pool:
db-pool
-------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_POOL
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
Number of connections to keep open in PostgREST's database pool. Having enough here for the maximum expected simultaneous client connections can improve performance. Note it's pointless to set this higher than the :code:`max_connections` GUC in your database.
.. _db-pool-acquisition-timeout:
db-pool-acquisition-timeout
---------------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_POOL_ACQUISITION_TIMEOUT
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
Specifies the maximum time in seconds that the request will wait for the pool to free up a connection slot to the database. If it times out without acquiring a connection, then the request is aborted and a ``504`` error is returned.
.. _db-pool-max-lifetime:
db-pool-max-lifetime
--------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_POOL_MAX_LIFETIME
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
Specifies the maximum time in seconds of an existing connection in the pool. When this lifetime is reached, then the connection will be closed and returned to the pool.
.. _db-pre-request:
db-pre-request
--------------
*For backwards compatibility, this config parameter is also available without prefix as "pre-request".*
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_PRE_REQUEST
**In-Database** pgrst.db_pre_request
=============== =================
A schema-qualified stored procedure name to call right after switching roles for a client request. This provides an opportunity to modify SQL variables or raise an exception to prevent the request from completing.
.. _db-prepared-statements:
db-prepared-statements
----------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_PREPARED_STATEMENTS
**In-Database** pgrst.db_prepared_statements
=============== =================
Enables or disables prepared statements.
When disabled, the generated queries will be parameterized (invulnerable to SQL injection) but they will not be prepared (cached in the database session). Not using prepared statements will noticeably decrease performance, so it's recommended to always have this setting enabled.
You should only set this to ``false`` when using PostgresSQL behind an external connection pooler such as PgBouncer working in transaction pooling mode. See :ref:`this section <external_connection_poolers>` for more information.
.. _db-schemas:
db-schemas
----------
*For backwards compatibility, this config parameter is also available in singular as "db-schema".*
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_SCHEMAS
**In-Database** pgrst.db_schemas
=============== =================
The database schema to expose to REST clients. Tables, views and stored procedures in this schema will get API endpoints.
.. code:: bash
db-schemas = "api"
This schema gets added to the `search_path <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH>`_ of every request.
List of schemas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also specify a list of schemas that can be used for **schema-based multitenancy** and **api versioning** by :ref:`multiple-schemas`. Example:
.. code:: bash
db-schemas = "tenant1, tenant2"
If you don't :ref:`Switch Schemas <multiple-schemas>`, the first schema in the list(``tenant1`` in this case) is chosen as the default schema.
*Only the chosen schema* gets added to the `search_path <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH>`_ of every request.
.. warning::
Never expose private schemas in this way. See :ref:`schema_isolation`.
.. _db-tx-end:
db-tx-end
---------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_TX_END
**In-Database** pgrst.db_tx_end
=============== =================
Specifies how to terminate the database transactions.
.. code:: bash
# The transaction is always committed
db-tx-end = "commit"
# The transaction is committed unless a "Prefer: tx=rollback" header is sent
db-tx-end = "commit-allow-override"
# The transaction is always rolled back
db-tx-end = "rollback"
# The transaction is rolled back unless a "Prefer: tx=commit" header is sent
db-tx-end = "rollback-allow-override"
.. _db-uri:
db-uri
------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_URI
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
The standard connection PostgreSQL `URI format <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING>`_. Symbols and unusual characters in the password or other fields should be percent encoded to avoid a parse error. If enforcing an SSL connection to the database is required you can use `sslmode <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-ssl.html#LIBPQ-SSL-SSLMODE-STATEMENTS>`_ in the URI, for example ``postgres://user:pass@host:5432/dbname?sslmode=require``.
When running PostgREST on the same machine as PostgreSQL, it is also possible to connect to the database using a `Unix socket <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket>`_ and the `Peer Authentication method <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-peer.html>`_ as an alternative to TCP/IP communication and authentication with a password, this also grants higher performance. To do this you can omit the host and the password, e.g. ``postgres://user@/dbname``, see the `libpq connection string <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING>`_ documentation for more details.
Choosing a value for this parameter beginning with the at sign such as ``@filename`` (e.g. ``@./configs/my-config``) loads the connection string out of an external file.
.. _db-use-legacy-gucs:
db-use-legacy-gucs
------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_DB_USE_LEGACY_GUCS
**In-Database** pgrst.db_use_legacy_gucs
=============== =================
Determine if GUC request settings for headers, cookies and jwt claims use the :ref:`legacy names <guc_legacy_names>` (string with dashes, invalid starting from PostgreSQL v14) with text values instead of the :ref:`new names <guc_req_headers_cookies_claims>` (string without dashes, valid on all PostgreSQL versions) with json values.
On PostgreSQL versions 14 and above, this parameter is ignored.
.. _jwt-aud:
jwt-aud
-------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_JWT_AUD
**In-Database** pgrst.jwt_aud
=============== =================
Specifies the `JWT audience claim <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.3>`_. If this claim is present in the client provided JWT then you must set this to the same value as in the JWT, otherwise verifying the JWT will fail.
.. _jwt-role-claim-key:
jwt-role-claim-key
------------------
*For backwards compatibility, this config parameter is also available without prefix as "role-claim-key".*
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_JWT_ROLE_CLAIM_KEY
**In-Database** pgrst.jwt_role_claim_key
=============== =================
A JSPath DSL that specifies the location of the :code:`role` key in the JWT claims. This can be used to consume a JWT provided by a third party service like Auth0, Okta or Keycloak. Usage examples:
.. code:: bash
# {"postgrest":{"roles": ["other", "author"]}}
# the DSL accepts characters that are alphanumerical or one of "_$@" as keys
jwt-role-claim-key = ".postgrest.roles[1]"
# {"https://www.example.com/role": { "key": "author }}
# non-alphanumerical characters can go inside quotes(escaped in the config value)
jwt-role-claim-key = ".\"https://www.example.com/role\".key"
.. _jwt-secret:
jwt-secret
----------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_JWT_SECRET
**In-Database** pgrst.jwt_secret
=============== =================
The secret or `JSON Web Key (JWK) (or set) <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7517>`_ used to decode JWT tokens clients provide for authentication. For security the key must be **at least 32 characters long**. If this parameter is not specified then PostgREST refuses authentication requests. Choosing a value for this parameter beginning with the at sign such as :code:`@filename` loads the secret out of an external file. This is useful for automating deployments. Note that any binary secrets must be base64 encoded. Both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography are supported. For more info see :ref:`asym_keys`.
Choosing a value for this parameter beginning with the at sign such as ``@filename`` (e.g. ``@./configs/my-config``) loads the secret out of an external file.
.. warning::
Only when using the :ref:`file_config`, if the ``jwt-secret`` contains a ``$`` character by itself it will give errors. In this case, use ``$$`` and PostgREST will interpret it as a single ``$`` character.
.. _jwt-secret-is-base64:
jwt-secret-is-base64
--------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_JWT_SECRET_IS_BASE64
**In-Database** pgrst.jwt_secret_is_base64
=============== =================
When this is set to :code:`true`, the value derived from :code:`jwt-secret` will be treated as a base64 encoded secret.
.. _log-level:
log-level
---------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_LOG_LEVEL
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
Specifies the level of information to be logged while running PostgREST.
.. code:: bash
# Only startup and db connection recovery messages are logged
log-level = "crit"
# All the "crit" level events plus server errors (status 5xx) are logged
log-level = "error"
# All the "error" level events plus request errors (status 4xx) are logged
log-level = "warn"
# All the "warn" level events plus all requests (every status code) are logged
log-level = "info"
Because currently there's no buffering for logging, the levels with minimal logging(``crit/error``) will increase throughput.
.. _openapi-mode:
openapi-mode
------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_OPENAPI_MODE
**In-Database** pgrst.openapi_mode
=============== =================
Specifies how the OpenAPI output should be displayed.
.. code:: bash
# Follows the privileges of the JWT role claim (or from db-anon-role if the JWT is not sent)
# Shows information depending on the permissions that the role making the request has
openapi-mode = "follow-privileges"
# Ignores the privileges of the JWT role claim (or from db-anon-role if the JWT is not sent)
# Shows all the exposed information, regardless of the permissions that the role making the request has
openapi-mode = "ignore-privileges"
# Disables the OpenApi output altogether.
# Throws a `404 Not Found` error when accessing the API root path
openapi-mode = "disabled"
.. _openapi-security-active:
openapi-security-active
-----------------------
=============== =============================
**Environment** PGRST_OPENAPI_SECURITY_ACTIVE
**In-Database** pgrst.openapi_security_active
=============== =============================
When this is set to :code:`true`, security options are included in the :ref:`OpenAPI output <open-api>`.
.. _openapi-server-proxy-uri:
openapi-server-proxy-uri
------------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_OPENAPI_SERVER_PROXY_URI
**In-Database** pgrst.openapi_server_proxy_uri
=============== =================
Overrides the base URL used within the OpenAPI self-documentation hosted at the API root path. Use a complete URI syntax :code:`scheme:[//[user:password@]host[:port]][/]path[?query][#fragment]`. Ex. :code:`https://postgrest.com`
.. code:: json
{
"swagger": "2.0",
"info": {
"version": "0.4.3.0",
"title": "PostgREST API",
"description": "This is a dynamic API generated by PostgREST"
},
"host": "postgrest.com:443",
"basePath": "/",
"schemes": [
"https"
]
}
.. _raw-media-types:
raw-media-types
---------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_RAW_MEDIA_TYPES
**In-Database** pgrst.raw_media_types
=============== =================
This serves to extend the `Media Types <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type>`_ that PostgREST currently accepts through an ``Accept`` header.
These media types can be requested by following the same rules as the ones defined in :ref:`scalar_return_formats`.
As an example, the below config would allow you to request an **image** and a **XML** file by doing a request with ``Accept: image/png``
or ``Accept: font/woff2``, respectively.
.. code:: bash
raw-media-types="image/png, font/woff2"
.. _server-host:
server-host
-----------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_SERVER_HOST
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
Where to bind the PostgREST web server. In addition to the usual address options, PostgREST interprets these reserved addresses with special meanings:
* :code:`*` - any IPv4 or IPv6 hostname
* :code:`*4` - any IPv4 or IPv6 hostname, IPv4 preferred
* :code:`!4` - any IPv4 hostname
* :code:`*6` - any IPv4 or IPv6 hostname, IPv6 preferred
* :code:`!6` - any IPv6 hostname
.. _server-port:
server-port
-----------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_SERVER_PORT
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
The TCP port to bind the web server.
.. _server-unix-socket:
server-unix-socket
------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_SERVER_UNIX_SOCKET
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
`Unix domain socket <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket>`_ where to bind the PostgREST web server.
If specified, this takes precedence over :ref:`server-port`. Example:
.. code:: bash
server-unix-socket = "/tmp/pgrst.sock"
.. _server-unix-socket-mode:
server-unix-socket-mode
-----------------------
=============== =================
**Environment** PGRST_SERVER_UNIX_SOCKET_MODE
**In-Database** `n/a`
=============== =================
`Unix file mode <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions>`_ to be set for the socket specified in :ref:`server-unix-socket`
Needs to be a valid octal between 600 and 777.
.. code:: bash
server-unix-socket-mode = "660"

######
Error Source
============
PostgREST error messages follow the PostgreSQL error structure. It includes ``MESSAGE``, ``DETAIL``, ``HINT``, ``ERRCODE`` and will add an HTTP status code to the response.
.. _postgresql_errors:
Errors from PostgreSQL
======================
PostgREST will forward errors coming from PostgreSQL. For instance, on a failed constraint:
For the most part, error messages will come directly from the database with the same `structure that PostgreSQL uses <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/error-style-guide.html>`_. PostgREST will convert the ``MESSAGE``, ``DETAIL``, ``HINT`` and ``ERRCODE`` from the PostgreSQL error to JSON format and add an HTTP status code to the response (see :ref:`status_codes`). For instance, this is the error you will get when querying a nonexistent table:
.. code-block:: http
POST /projects HTTP/1.1
GET /nonexistent_table?id=eq.1 HTTP/1.1
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
.. code-block:: json
{
"hint": null,
"details": null,
"code": "42P01",
"message": "relation \"api.nonexistent_table\" does not exist"
}
However, some errors do come from PostgREST itself (such as those related to the :ref:`schema_cache`). These have the same structure as the PostgreSQL errors but are differentiated by the ``PGRST`` prefix in the ``code`` field (see :ref:`pgrst_errors`). For instance, when querying a function that does not exist, the error will be:
.. code-block:: http
POST /rpc/nonexistent_function HTTP/1.1
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

.. _custom_errors:
Custom Errors
=============
You can customize the errors by using the `RAISE statement <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpgsql-errors-and-messages.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-RAISE>`_ on functions.
.. _raise_error:
RAISE errors with HTTP Status Codes
-----------------------------------
Custom status codes can be done by raising SQL exceptions inside :ref:`functions <functions>`. For instance, here's a saucy function that always responds with an error:
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION just_fail() RETURNS void
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
BEGIN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'I refuse!'
USING DETAIL = 'Pretty simple',
HINT = 'There is nothing you can do.';
END
$$;
Calling the function returns HTTP 400 with the body
.. code-block:: json
{
"message":"I refuse!",
"details":"Pretty simple",
"hint":"There is nothing you can do.",
"code":"P0001"
}
One way to customize the HTTP status code is by raising particular exceptions according to the PostgREST :ref:`error to status code mapping <status_codes>`. For example, :code:`RAISE insufficient_privilege` will respond with HTTP 401/403 as appropriate.
For even greater control of the HTTP status code, raise an exception of the ``PTxyz`` type. For instance to respond with HTTP 402, raise ``PT402``:
.. code-block:: postgres
RAISE sqlstate 'PT402' using
message = 'Payment Required',
detail = 'Quota exceeded',
hint = 'Upgrade your plan';
Returns:
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
"message": "Payment Required",
"details": "Quota exceeded",
"hint": "Upgrade your plan",
"code": "PT402"
}
.. _raise_headers:
Add HTTP Headers with RAISE
---------------------------
For full control over headers and status you can raise a ``PGRST`` SQLSTATE error. You can achieve this by adding the ``code``, ``message``, ``detail`` and ``hint`` in the PostgreSQL error message field as a JSON object. Here, the ``details`` and ``hint`` are optional. Similarly, the ``status`` and ``headers`` must be added to the SQL error detail field as a JSON object. For instance:
.. code-block:: postgres
RAISE sqlstate 'PGRST' USING
message = '{"code":"123","message":"Payment Required","details":"Quota exceeded","hint":"Upgrade your plan"}',
detail = '{"status":402,"headers":{"X-Powered-By":"Nerd Rage"}}';
Returns:
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
X-Powered-By: Nerd Rage
{
"message": "Payment Required",
"details": "Quota exceeded",
"hint": "Upgrade your plan",
"code": "123"
}
For non standard HTTP status, you can optionally add ``status_text`` to describe the status code. For status code ``419`` the detail field may look like this:
.. code-block:: postgres
detail = '{"status":419,"status_text":"Page Expired","headers":{"X-Powered-By":"Nerd Rage"}}';
If PostgREST can't parse the JSON objects ``message`` and ``detail``, it will throw a ``PGRST121`` error. See :ref:`Errors from PostgREST<pgrst1**>`.
.. _proxy-status_header:
Proxy-Status Header
===================
For error cases, the standard `Proxy-Status <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9209.html#name-the-proxy-status-http-field>`_ header is returned with the error code. The error code comes from either :ref:`PostgREST <pgrst_errors>`, :ref:`PostgreSQL <postgresql_errors>` or :ref:`Custom <custom_errors>` errors. This is useful when doing ``HEAD`` requests where the HTTP status is not descriptive enough.
For example, doing a request on a table with high count (say 30_000_000), we get:
.. code-block:: http
HEAD /table HTTP/1.1
Prefer: count=exact
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Proxy-Status: PostgREST; error=57014
The PostgreSQL error code ``57014`` (`ref <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/errcodes-appendix.html>`_) reveals that the error is due to a short ``statement_timeout`` value.
.. _client_error_verbosity:
Client Error Verbosity
======================
For HTTP clients, the error verbosity can be set via :ref:`client-error-verbosity` config.
With ``verbose``, it returns ``code``, ``message``, ``details`` and ``hint``.
.. code:: bash
curl "localhost:3000/itemsxx"
.. code-block:: json
{
"code": "PGRST205",
"message": "Could not find the table 'public.itemsxx' in the schema cache",
"details": "Perhaps you meant the table 'public.items'",
"hint": null
}
With ``minimal``, just ``code`` and ``message`` is returned.
.. code:: bash
curl "localhost:3000/itemsxx"
.. code-block:: json
{
"code": "PGRST205",
"message": "Could not find the table 'public.itemsxx' in the schema cache"

Code Map
========
This section talks briefly about various important modules.
Main
----
The starting point of the program is `Main.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/executable/Main.hs>`_.
CLI
---
Main then calls `CLI.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/CLI.hs>`_, which is in charge of :ref:`cli`.
App
---
`App.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/App.hs>`_ is then in charge of composing the different modules.
Auth
----
`Auth.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/Auth.hs>`_ is in charge of :ref:`authn`.
Api Request
-----------
`ApiRequest.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/ApiRequest.hs>`_ is in charge of parsing the URL query string (following PostgREST syntax), the request headers, and the request body.
A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid. For example when providing an unknown media type to PostgREST or using an unknown HTTP method.
Plan
----
Using the Schema Cache, `Plan.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/Plan.hs>`_ generates an internal AST, filling out-of-band SQL details (like an ``ON CONFLICT (pk)`` clause) required to complete the user request.
A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid. For example when doing resource embedding on a nonexistent resource.
Query
-----
`Query.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/Query.hs>`_ generates the SQL queries (parametrized and prepared) required to satisfy the user request.
Only at this stage a connection from the pool might be used.
Schema Cache
------------
`SchemaCache.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/SchemaCache.hs>`_ is in charge of :ref:`schema_cache`.
Config
------
`Config.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/Config.hs>`_ is in charge of :ref:`configuration`.
Admin
-----
`Admin.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/Admin.hs>`_ is in charge of the :ref:`admin_server`.
Listener
--------
`Reload.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/v16/src/library/PostgREST/AppState/Reload.hs>`_ is in charge of the :ref:`listener`.

.. _db_authz:
Database Authorization
######################
Database authorization is the process of granting and verifying database access permissions. PostgreSQL manages permissions using the concept of roles.
Users and Groups
================
A role can be thought of as either a database user, or a group of database users, depending on how the role is set up.
Roles for Each Web User
-----------------------
PostgREST can accommodate either viewpoint. If you treat a role as a single user then :ref:`user_impersonation` does most of what you need. When an authenticated user makes a request PostgREST will switch into the database role for that user, which in addition to restricting queries, is available to SQL through the :code:`current_user` variable.
You can use row-level security to flexibly restrict visibility and access for the current user. Here is an `example <https://www.enterprisedb.com:443/blog/application-users-vs-row-level-security>`_ from Tomas Vondra, a chat table storing messages sent between users. Users can insert rows into it to send messages to other users, and query it to see messages sent to them by other users.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE TABLE chat (
message_uuid UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
message_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
message_from NAME NOT NULL DEFAULT current_user,
message_to NAME NOT NULL,
message_subject VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
message_body TEXT
);
ALTER TABLE chat ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
We want to enforce a policy that ensures a user can see only those messages sent by them or intended for them. Also we want to prevent a user from forging the ``message_from`` column with another person's name.
PostgreSQL allows us to set this policy with row-level security:
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE POLICY chat_policy ON chat
USING ((message_to = current_user) OR (message_from = current_user))
WITH CHECK (message_from = current_user)
Anyone accessing the generated API endpoint for the chat table will see exactly the rows they should, without our needing custom imperative server-side coding.
.. warning::
Roles are namespaced per-cluster rather than per-database so they may be prone to collision.
Web Users Sharing Role
----------------------
Alternately database roles can represent groups instead of (or in addition to) individual users. You may choose that all signed-in users for a web app share the role ``webuser``. You can distinguish individual users by including extra claims in the JWT such as email.
.. code:: json
{
"role": "webuser",
"email": "john@doe.com"
}
SQL code can access claims through PostgREST :ref:`tx_settings`. For instance to get the email claim, call this function:
.. code:: sql
current_setting('request.jwt.claims', true)::json->>'email';
.. note::
For PostgreSQL < 14
.. code:: sql
current_setting('request.jwt.claim.email', true);
This allows JWT generation services to include extra information and your database code to react to it. For instance the RLS example could be modified to use this ``current_setting`` rather than ``current_user``. The second ``'true'`` argument tells ``current_setting`` to return NULL if the setting is missing from the current configuration.
Hybrid User-Group Roles
-----------------------
You can mix the group and individual role policies. For instance we could still have a webuser role and individual users which inherit from it:
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE ROLE webuser NOLOGIN;
-- grant this role access to certain tables etc
CREATE ROLE user000 NOLOGIN;
GRANT webuser TO user000;
-- now user000 can do whatever webuser can
GRANT user000 TO authenticator;
-- allow authenticator to switch into user000 role
-- (the role itself has nologin)
Schemas
=======
You must explicitly allow roles to access the exposed schemas in :ref:`db-schemas`.
.. code-block:: postgres
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA api TO webuser;
Tables
======
To let web users access tables you must grant them privileges for the operations you want them to do.
.. code-block:: postgres
GRANT
SELECT
, INSERT
, UPDATE(message_body)
, DELETE
ON chat TO webuser;
You can also choose on which table columns the operation is valid. In the above example, the web user can only update the ``message_body`` column.
.. _func_privs:
Functions
=========
By default, when a function is created, the privilege to execute it is not restricted by role. The function access is ``PUBLIC`` — executable by all roles (more details at `PostgreSQL Privileges page <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-priv.html>`_). This is not ideal for an API schema. To disable this behavior, you can run the following SQL statement:
.. code-block:: postgres
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS FROM PUBLIC;
This will change the privileges for all functions created in the future in all schemas. Currently there is no way to limit it to a single schema. In our opinion it's a good practice anyway.
.. note::
It is however possible to limit the effect of this clause only to functions you define. You can put the above statement at the beginning of the API schema definition, and then at the end reverse it with:
.. code-block:: postgres
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS TO PUBLIC;
This will work because the :code:`alter default privileges` statement has effect on function created *after* it is executed. See `PostgreSQL alter default privileges <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html>`_ for more details.
After that, you'll need to grant EXECUTE privileges on functions explicitly:
.. code-block:: postgres
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION login TO anonymous;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION signup TO anonymous;
You can also grant execute on all functions in a schema to a higher privileged role:
.. code-block:: postgres
GRANT EXECUTE ON ALL FUNCTIONS IN SCHEMA api TO web_user;
Security definer
----------------
A function is executed with the privileges of the user who calls it. This means that the user has to have all permissions to do the operations the function performs.
If the function accesses private database objects, your :ref:`API roles <roles>` won't be able to successfully execute the function.
Another option is to define the function with the :code:`SECURITY DEFINER` option. Then only one permission check will take place, the permission to call the function, and the operations in the function will have the authority of the user who owns the function itself.
.. code-block:: postgres
-- login as a user which has privileges on the private schemas
-- create a sample function
create or replace function login(email text, pass text, out token text) as $$
begin
-- access to a private schema called 'auth'
select auth.user_role(email, pass) into _role;
-- other operations
-- ...
end;
$$ language plpgsql security definer;
Note the ``SECURITY DEFINER`` keywords at the end of the function. See `PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createfunction.html#SQL-CREATEFUNCTION-SECURITY>`_ for more details.
Views
=====
Views are invoked with the privileges of the view owner, much like functions with the ``SECURITY DEFINER`` option. When created by a SUPERUSER role, all `row-level security <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-rowsecurity.html>`_ policies will be bypassed.
If you're on PostgreSQL >= 15, this behavior can be changed by specifying the ``security_invoker`` option.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE VIEW sample_view WITH (security_invoker = true) AS
SELECT * FROM sample_table;
On PostgreSQL < 15, you can create a non-SUPERUSER role and make this role the view's owner.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE ROLE api_views_owner NOSUPERUSER NOBYPASSRLS;
ALTER VIEW sample_view OWNER TO api_views_owner;

External Authentication
-----------------------
JWT from Auth0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An external service like `Auth0 <https://auth0.com/>`_ can do the hard work transforming OAuth from Github, Twitter, Google etc into a JWT suitable for PostgREST. Auth0 can also handle email signup and password reset flows.
To use Auth0, create `an application <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/applications>`_ for your app and `an API <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis>`_ for your PostgREST server. Auth0 supports both HS256 and RS256 scheme for the issued tokens for APIs. For simplicity, you may first try HS256 scheme while creating your API on Auth0. Your application should use your PostgREST API's `API identifier <https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis/api-settings>`_ by setting it with the `audience parameter <https://auth0.com/docs/secure/tokens/access-tokens/get-access-tokens#control-access-token-audience>`_ during the authorization request. This will ensure that Auth0 will issue an access token for your PostgREST API. For PostgREST to verify the access token, you will need to set ``jwt-secret`` on PostgREST config file with your API's signing secret.

.. _nginx:
Nginx
=====
PostgREST is a fast way to construct a RESTful API. Its default behavior is great for scaffolding in development. When it's time to go to production it works great too, as long as you take precautions.
PostgREST is a small sharp tool that focuses on performing the API-to-database mapping. We rely on a reverse proxy like Nginx for additional safeguards.
The first step is to create an Nginx configuration file that proxies requests to an underlying PostgREST server.
.. code-block:: nginx
http {
# ...
# upstream configuration
upstream postgrest {
server localhost:3000;
}
# ...
server {
# ...
# expose to the outside world
location /api/ {
default_type application/json;
proxy_hide_header Content-Location;
add_header Content-Location /api/$upstream_http_content_location;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_pass http://postgrest/;
}
# ...
}
}
.. note::
For ubuntu, if you already installed nginx through :code:`apt` you can add this to the config file in
:code:`/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default`.
.. _https:
HTTPS
-----
PostgREST aims to do one thing well: add an HTTP interface to a PostgreSQL database. To keep the code small and focused we do not implement HTTPS. Use a reverse proxy such as NGINX to add this, `here's how <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html>`_.
Rate Limiting
-------------
Nginx supports "leaky bucket" rate limiting (see `official docs <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html>`_). Using standard Nginx configuration, routes can be grouped into *request zones* for rate limiting. For instance we can define a zone for login attempts:
.. code-block:: nginx
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=login:10m rate=1r/s;
This creates a shared memory zone called "login" to store a log of IP addresses that access the rate limited urls. The space reserved, 10 MB (:code:`10m`) will give us enough space to store a history of 160k requests. We have chosen to allow only allow one request per second (:code:`1r/s`).
Next we apply the zone to certain routes, like a hypothetical function called :code:`login`.
.. code-block:: nginx
location /rpc/login/ {
# apply rate limiting
limit_req zone=login burst=5;
}
The burst argument tells Nginx to start dropping requests if more than five queue up from a specific IP.
Nginx rate limiting is general and indiscriminate. To rate limit each authenticated request individually you will need to add logic in a :ref:`Custom Validation <custom_validation>` function.
Alternate URL Structure
-----------------------
As discussed in :ref:`singular_plural`, there are no special URL forms for singular resources in PostgREST, only operators for filtering. Thus there are no URLs like :code:`/people/1`. It would be specified instead as
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/people?id=eq.1" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object+json"
This allows compound primary keys and makes the intent for singular response independent of a URL convention.
Nginx rewrite rules allow you to simulate the familiar URL convention. The following example adds a rewrite rule for all table endpoints, but you'll want to restrict it to those tables that have a numeric simple primary key named "id."
.. code-block:: nginx
# support /endpoint/:id url style
location ~ ^/([a-z_]+)/([0-9]+) {
# make the response singular
proxy_set_header Accept 'application/vnd.pgrst.object+json';
# assuming an upstream named "postgrest"
proxy_pass http://postgrest/$1?id=eq.$2;
}

.. _schema_isolation:
Schema Isolation
================
A PostgREST instance exposes all the tables, views, and functions of a single `PostgreSQL schema <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-schemas.html>`_ (a namespace of database objects). This means private data or implementation details can go inside different private schemas and be invisible to HTTP clients.
It is recommended that you don't expose tables on your API schema. Instead expose views and functions which insulate the internal details from the outside world.
This allows you to change the internals of your schema and maintain backwards compatibility. It also keeps your code easier to refactor, and provides a natural way to do API versioning.

PostgREST supports :ref:`custom_media`. With a bit of work, SOAP endpoints become possible.
PostgREST now has XML support. With a bit of work, SOAP endpoints become possible.
Please note that PostgREST supports just ``text/xml`` MIME type in request/response headers ``Content-Type`` and ``Accept``.
If you have to use other MIME types such as ``application/soap+xml``, you could manipulate the headers in your reverse proxy.

This example will simply return the request body, inside a tag ``therequestbodywas``.
Add the following function to your PostgreSQL database:
.. code-block:: postgres

Unfortunately the ``Accept: text/xml`` header is currently mandatory concerning PostgREST, otherwise it will respond
with a ``Content-Type: application/json`` header and enclose the response with quotes.
(You can check the returned headers by adding ``-v`` to the curl call.)
If your SOAP clients do not send the ``Accept: text/xml`` header, you can fix that in your nginx reverse proxy
by adding something like ...
.. code-block:: nginx
set $accept $http_accept;

Providing HTML Content Using Htmx
=================================
:author: `Laurence Isla <https://github.com/laurenceisla>`_
This how-to shows a way to return HTML content and use the `htmx library <https://htmx.org/>`_ to handle the AJAX requests.
Htmx expects an HTML response and uses it to replace an element inside the DOM (see the `htmx introduction <https://htmx.org/docs/#introduction>`_ in the docs).
.. image:: ../_static/how-tos/htmx-demo.gif
.. warning::
This is a proof of concept showing what can be achieved using both technologies.
We are working on `plmustache <https://github.com/PostgREST/plmustache>`_ which will further improve the HTML aspect of this how-to.
Preparatory Configuration
-------------------------
We will make a to-do app based on the :ref:`tut0`, so make sure to complete it before continuing.
To simplify things, we won't be using authentication, so grant all permissions on the ``todos`` table to the ``web_anon`` user.
.. code-block:: postgres
grant all on api.todos to web_anon;
grant usage, select on sequence api.todos_id_seq to web_anon;
Next, add the ``text/html`` as a :ref:`custom_media`. With this, PostgREST can identify the request made by your web browser (with the ``Accept: text/html`` header)
and return a raw HTML document file.
.. code-block:: postgres
create domain "text/html" as text;
Creating an HTML Response
-------------------------
Let's create a function that returns a basic HTML file, using `Pico CSS <https://picocss.com>`_ for styling and
`Ionicons <https://ionic.io/ionicons>`_ to show some icons later.

Listing and Creating To-Dos
---------------------------
Now, let's show a list of the to-dos already inserted in the database.
For that, we'll also need a function to help us sanitize the HTML content that may be present in the task.
.. code-block:: postgres
create or replace function api.sanitize_html(text) returns text as $$
select replace(replace(replace(replace(replace($1, '&', '&amp;'), '"', '&quot;'),'>', '&gt;'),'<', '&lt;'), '''', '&apos;')

);

select coalesce(
string_agg(api.html_todo(t), '<hr/>' order by t.id),
'<p><em>There is nothing else to do.</em></p>'
)
from api.todos t;
$$ language sql;
These two functions are used to build the to-do list template. We won't use them as PostgREST endpoints.
- The ``api.html_todo`` function uses the table ``api.todos`` as a parameter and formats each item into a list element ``<li>``.
The PostgreSQL `format <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-string.html#FUNCTIONS-STRING-FORMAT>`_ is useful to that end.
It replaces the values according to the position in the template, e.g. ``%1$s`` will be replaced with the value of ``$1.id`` (the first parameter).
- The ``api.html_all_todos`` function returns the ``<ul>`` wrapper for all the list elements.
It uses `string_arg <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-aggregate.html>`_ to concatenate all the to-dos in a single text value.
It also returns an alternative message, instead of a list, when the ``api.todos`` table is empty.
Next, let's add an endpoint to register a to-do in the database and modify the ``/rpc/index`` page accordingly.
.. code-block:: postgres
create or replace function api.add_todo(_task text) returns "text/html" as $$
insert into api.todos(task) values (_task);
select api.html_all_todos();

create or replace function api.index() returns "text/html" as $$

$$ language sql;
- The ``/rpc/add_todo`` endpoint allows us to add a new to-do using the ``_task`` parameter and returns an ``html`` with all the to-dos in the database.
- The ``/rpc/index`` now adds the ``hx-headers='{"Accept": "text/html"}'`` tag to the ``<body>``.
This will make sure that all htmx elements inside the body send this header, otherwise PostgREST won't recognize it as HTML.
There is also a ``<form>`` element that uses the htmx library. Let's break it down:
+ ``hx-post="/rpc/add_todo"``: sends an AJAX POST request to the ``/rpc/add_todo`` endpoint, with the value of the ``_task`` from the ``<input>`` element.
+ ``hx-target="#todo-list-area"``: the HTML content returned from the request will go inside ``<div id="todo-list-area"></div>`` (which is the list of to-dos).
+ ``hx-trigger="submit"``: htmx will do this request when submitting the form (by pressing enter while inside the ``<input>``).
+ ``hx-on="htmx:afterRequest: this.reset()">``: this is a Javascript command that clears the form `after the request is done <https://htmx.org/events/#htmx:afterRequest>`_.
With this, the ``http://localhost:3000/rpc/index`` page lists all the todos and adds new ones by submitting tasks in the input element.
Don't forget to refresh the :ref:`schema cache <schema_reloading>`.

Editing and Deleting To-Dos
---------------------------
Now, let's modify ``api.html_todo`` and make it more functional.
.. code-block:: postgres
create or replace function api.html_todo(api.todos) returns text as $$
select format($html$
<div class="grid">

hx-trigger="click">

<ion-icon name="create"></ion-icon>
</span>
</button>
<button class="outline contrast"
hx-post="/rpc/delete_todo"
hx-vals='{"_id": %1$s}'
hx-target="#todo-list-area"
hx-trigger="click">

<ion-icon name="trash" style="color: #f87171"></ion-icon>
</span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
$html$,
$1.id,
case when $1.done then 's' else 'span' end,
api.sanitize_html($1.task),
(not $1.done)::text
);
$$ language sql stable;
Let's deconstruct the new htmx features added:
- The ``<form>`` element is configured as follows:
+ ``hx-post="/rpc/change_todo_state"``: does an AJAX POST request to that endpoint. It will toggle the ``done`` state of the to-do.
+ ``hx-vals='{"_id": %1$s, "_done": %4$s}'``: adds the parameters to the request.
This is an alternative to using hidden inputs inside the ``<form>``.
+ ``hx-trigger="click"``: htmx does the request after clicking on the element.
- For the first ``<button>``:
+ ``hx-get="/rpc/html_editable_task"``: it does an AJAX GET request to that endpoint.
It returns an HTML with an input that will allow us to edit the task.
+ ``hx-target="#todo-edit-area"``: the returned HTML will replace the element with this id.
In this case, this replaces an individual task, not the whole list.
+ ``hx-vals='{"id": "eq.%1$s"}'``: adds the query parameters to the GET request.
Note that this needs the ``eq.`` operator because it represents a table column not a function parameter.
- For the second ``<button>``:
+ ``hx-post="/rpc/delete_todo"``: this post request will delete the corresponding to-do.
Clicking on the first button will enable the task editing.
That's why we create the ``api.html_editable_task`` function as an endpoint:
.. code-block:: postgres
create or replace function api.html_editable_task(_id int) returns "text/html" as $$
select format ($html$
<form id="edit-task-%1$s"
hx-post="/rpc/change_todo_task"
hx-headers='{"Accept": "text/html"}'
hx-vals='{"_id": %1$s}'
hx-target="#todo-list-area"
hx-trigger="submit,focusout">
<input id="task-%1$s" type="text" name="_task" value="%2$s" autofocus>
</form>
$html$,
id,
api.sanitize_html(task)
)
from api.todos
where id = _id;
$$ language sql;
In this example, this will return an input field that allows us to edit the corresponding to-do task.
Finally, let's add the endpoints that will modify and delete the to-dos in the database.
.. code-block:: postgres
create or replace function api.change_todo_state(_id int, _done boolean) returns "text/html" as $$
update api.todos set done = _done where id = _id;
select api.html_all_todos();
$$ language sql;
create or replace function api.change_todo_task(_id int, _task text) returns "text/html" as $$
update api.todos set task = _task where id = _id;
select api.html_all_todos();
$$ language sql;
create or replace function api.delete_todo(_id int) returns "text/html" as $$
delete from api.todos where id = _id;
select api.html_all_todos();
$$ language sql;
All of those functions return an HTML list of to-dos that will replace the outdated one:
- The ``api.change_todo_state`` function updates the ``done`` column using the ``_id`` and the ``_done`` values from the request.
- The ``api.delete_todo`` function deletes a to-do using the ``_id`` value from the request.
- The ``api.change_todo_task`` function modifies the ``task`` column using the ``_id`` and the ``_task`` value from the request.
After refreshing the :ref:`schema cache <schema_reloading>`, the page at ``http://localhost:3000/rpc/index`` will allow us to edit, delete and complete any to-do.
.. image:: ../_static/how-tos/htmx-edit-delete.gif
With that, we completed the to-do list functionality.

SQL User Management
===================
As mentioned on :ref:`jwt_generation`, an external service can provide user management and coordinate with the PostgREST server using JWT. It's also possible to support logins entirely through SQL. It's a fair bit of work, so get ready.
Storing Users and Passwords
---------------------------
The following table, functions, and triggers will live in a :code:`basic_auth` schema that you shouldn't expose publicly in the API. The public views and functions will live in a different schema which internally references this internal information.
First we'll need a table to keep track of our users:
.. code:: sql
-- We put things inside the basic_auth schema to hide
-- them from public view. Certain public procs/views will
-- refer to helpers and tables inside.
create table
basic_auth.users (
email text primary key check ( email ~* '^.+@.+\..+$' ),
pass text not null check (length(pass) < 512),
role name not null check (length(role) < 512)
);
We would like the role to be a foreign key to actual database roles, however PostgreSQL does not support these constraints against the :code:`pg_roles` table. We'll use a trigger to manually enforce it.
.. code-block:: postgres
create function
basic_auth.check_role_exists() returns trigger as $$
begin
if not exists (select 1 from pg_roles as r where r.rolname = new.role) then
raise foreign_key_violation using message =
'unknown database role: ' || new.role;
return null;
end if;
return new;
end
$$ language plpgsql;
create constraint trigger ensure_user_role_exists
after insert or update on basic_auth.users
for each row
execute procedure basic_auth.check_role_exists();
Next we'll use the pgcrypto extension and a trigger to keep passwords safe in the :code:`users` table.
.. code-block:: postgres
create extension pgcrypto;
create function
basic_auth.encrypt_pass() returns trigger as $$
begin
if tg_op = 'INSERT' or new.pass <> old.pass then
new.pass = crypt(new.pass, gen_salt('bf'));
end if;
return new;
end
$$ language plpgsql;
create trigger encrypt_pass
before insert or update on basic_auth.users
for each row
execute procedure basic_auth.encrypt_pass();
With the table in place we can make a helper to check a password against the encrypted column. It returns the database role for a user if the email and password are correct.
.. code-block:: postgres
create function
basic_auth.user_role(email text, pass text) returns name
language plpgsql
as $$
begin
return (
select role from basic_auth.users
where users.email = user_role.email
and users.pass = crypt(user_role.pass, users.pass)
);
end;
$$;
.. _public_ui:
Public User Interface
---------------------
In the previous section we created an internal table to store user information. Here we create a login function which takes an email address and password and returns JWT if the credentials match a user in the internal table.
Permissions
~~~~~~~~~~~
Your database roles need access to the schema, tables, views and functions in order to service HTTP requests.
Recall from the :ref:`roles` that PostgREST uses special roles to process requests, namely the authenticator and
anonymous roles. Below is an example of permissions that allow anonymous users to create accounts and attempt to log in.
.. code-block:: postgres
create role anon noinherit;
create role authenticator noinherit;
grant anon to authenticator;
Then, add ``db-anon-role`` to the configuration file to allow anonymous requests.
.. code:: ini
db-anon-role = "anon"
.. _jwt-from-sql:
JWT from SQL
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can create JWT tokens in SQL using the `pgjwt extension <https://github.com/michelp/pgjwt>`_. It's simple and requires only pgcrypto. If you're on an environment like Amazon RDS which doesn't support installing new extensions, you can still manually run the `SQL inside pgjwt <https://github.com/michelp/pgjwt/blob/master/pgjwt--0.1.1.sql>`_ (you'll need to replace ``@extschema@`` with another schema or just delete it) which creates the functions you will need.
Next write a function that returns the token. The one below returns a token with a hard-coded role, which expires five minutes after it was issued. Note this function has a hard-coded secret as well.
.. code-block:: postgres
CREATE FUNCTION jwt_test(OUT token text) AS $$
SELECT public.sign(
row_to_json(r), 'reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe'
) AS token
FROM (
SELECT
'my_role'::text as role,
extract(epoch from now())::integer + 300 AS exp
) r;
$$ LANGUAGE sql;
PostgREST exposes this function to clients via a POST request to ``/rpc/jwt_test``.
.. note::
To avoid hard-coding the secret in functions, save it as a property of the database.
.. code-block:: postgres
-- run this once
ALTER DATABASE mydb SET "app.jwt_secret" TO 'reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe';
-- then all functions can refer to app.jwt_secret
SELECT sign(
row_to_json(r), current_setting('app.jwt_secret')
) AS token
FROM ...
Logins
~~~~~~
As described in `JWT from SQL`_, we'll create a JWT inside our login function. Note that you'll need to adjust the secret key which is hard-coded in this example to a secure (at least thirty-two character) secret of your choosing.
.. code-block:: postgres
-- login should be on your exposed schema
create function
login(email text, pass text, out token text) as $$
declare
_role name;
begin
-- check email and password
select basic_auth.user_role(email, pass) into _role;
if _role is null then
raise invalid_password using message = 'invalid user or password';
end if;
select sign(
row_to_json(r), 'reallyreallyreallyreallyverysafe'
) as token
from (
select _role as role, login.email as email,
extract(epoch from now())::integer + 60*60 as exp
) r
into token;
end;
$$ language plpgsql security definer;
grant execute on function login(text,text) to anon;
Since the above :code:`login` function is defined as `security definer <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createfunction.html#id-1.9.3.67.10.2>`_,
the anonymous user :code:`anon` doesn't need permission to read the :code:`basic_auth.users` table. It doesn't even need permission to access the :code:`basic_auth` schema.
:code:`grant execute on function` is included for clarity but it might not be needed, see :ref:`func_privs` for more details.
An API request to call this function would look like:
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/rpc/login" \
-X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "email": "foo@bar.com", "pass": "foobar" }'

If you need to add an extra property, like the area in square units by using ``st_area(area)``, you could add a generated column to the table and it will appear in the ``properties`` key of each ``Feature``.

add square_units double precision generated always as ( st_area(area) ) stored;
let willRedirectTo = redirects[hash];
In the case that you are using older PostGIS versions, then creating a function is your best option:

Database as Single Source of Truth
----------------------------------
Motivation
----------
Using PostgREST is an alternative to manual CRUD programming. Custom API servers suffer problems. Writing business logic often duplicates, ignores or hobbles database structure. Object-relational mapping is a leaky abstraction leading to slow imperative code. The PostgREST philosophy establishes a single declarative source of truth: the data itself.
Declarative Programming
-----------------------
It's easier to ask PostgreSQL to join data for you and let its query planner figure out the details than to loop through rows yourself. It's easier to assign permissions to database objects than to add guards in controllers. (This is especially true for cascading permissions in data dependencies.) It's easier to set constraints than to litter code with sanity checks.

PostgREST follows ``MAJOR.PATCH`` two-part versioning:
- ``MAJOR``: feature release, may deprecate or remove things.
- ``PATCH``: fix/security release only, no features and no behavior changes.
MAJOR releases are published twice a year, with their scope and target dates tracked through `GitHub milestones <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/milestones>`_.
PATCH releases are published on an as-needed basis.
Starting from ``v14.0``, only even-numbered MAJOR versions are released, reserving odd-numbered MAJOR versions for development.
All releases are published on `PostgREST's GitHub release page <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases>`_, along with the corresponding upgrade guides.

.. _deploy_heroku:
Deploying to Heroku
===================
1. Log into Heroku using the `Heroku CLI <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli>`_:
.. code-block:: bash
# If you have multiple Heroku accounts, use flag '--interactive' to switch between them
heroku login --interactive
2. Create a new Heroku app using the PostgREST buildpack:
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
cd ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
git init .
heroku apps:create ${YOUR_APP_NAME} --buildpack https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest-heroku.git
heroku git:remote -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
3. Create a new Heroku PostgreSQL add-on attached to the app and keep notes of the assigned add-on name (e.g. :code:`postgresql-curly-58902`) referred later as ${HEROKU_PG_DB_NAME}
.. code-block:: bash
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:standard-0 -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
# wait until the add-on is available
heroku pg:wait -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
4. Create the necessary user roles according to the
`PostgREST documentation <https://postgrest.org/en/stable/auth.html>`_:
.. code-block:: bash
heroku pg:credentials:create --name api_user -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
# use the following command to ensure the new credential state is active before attaching it
heroku pg:credentials -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
heroku addons:attach ${HEROKU_PG_DB_NAME} --credential api_user -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
5. Connect to the PostgreSQL database and create some sample data:
.. code-block:: bash
heroku psql -a ${YOUR_APP_NAME}
.. code-block:: postgres
# from the psql command prompt execute the following commands:
create schema api;
create table api.todos (
id serial primary key,
done boolean not null default false,
task text not null,
due timestamptz
);
insert into api.todos (task) values
('finish tutorial 0'), ('pat self on back');
grant usage on schema api to api_user;
grant select on api.todos to api_user;
6. Create the :code:`Procfile`:
.. code-block:: bash
web: PGRST_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 PGRST_SERVER_PORT=${PORT} PGRST_DB_URI=${PGRST_DB_URI:-${DATABASE_URL}} ./postgrest-${POSTGREST_VER}
..
Set the following environment variables on Heroku:
.. code-block:: bash
heroku config:set POSTGREST_VER=10.0.0
heroku config:set PGRST_DB_SCHEMA=api
heroku config:set PGRST_DB_ANON_ROLE=api_user
..
PGRST_DB_URI can be set if an external database is used or if it's different from the default Heroku DATABASE_URL. This latter is used if nothing is provided.
POSTGREST_VER is mandatory to select and build the required PostgREST release.
See https://postgrest.org/en/stable/configuration.html#environment-variables for the full list of environment variables.
7. Build and deploy your app:
.. code-block:: bash
git add Procfile
git commit -m "PostgREST on Heroku"
git push heroku master
..
Your Heroku app should be live at :code:`${YOUR_APP_NAME}.herokuapp.com`
8. Test your app
From a terminal display the application logs:
.. code-block:: bash
heroku logs -t
..
From a different terminal retrieve with curl the records previously created:
.. code-block:: bash
curl https://${YOUR_APP_NAME}.herokuapp.com/todos
..
and test that any attempt to modify the table via a read-only user is not allowed:
.. code-block:: bash
curl https://${YOUR_APP_NAME}.herokuapp.com/todos -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"task": "do bad thing"}'

NixOS
=====
Nixpkgs contains a `NixOS module to run PostgREST <https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&query=services.postgrest&type=options>`_, which can be enabled with ``services.postgrest.enable = true``.
A PostgreSQL server can be enabled on the same machine with ``services.postgresql.enable = true``. Connections will use the name of the system user as user and database names by default, in this case ``postgrest``.
A minimal example could look like this:
.. code-block:: nix
{
pkgs,
...
}:
{
services.postgresql = {
enable = true;
initialScript = pkgs.writeText "init.sql" ''
CREATE ROLE postgrest LOGIN NOINHERIT;
CREATE ROLE anon ROLE postgrest;
'';
};
services.postgrest = {
enable = true;
settings.db-anon-role = "anon";
settings.db-uri.dbname = "postgres";
};
}
This will expose the PostgREST server on localhost on the NixOS machine and allow anonymous access.
.. tip::
NixOS also allows to quickly spin up different PostgreSQL versions or even forks this way. For example, to test the current beta version of `OrioleDB <https://www.orioledb.com>`_, use ``services.postgresql.package = pkgs.orioledb``.

Block Full-Table Operations
---------------------------
If the :ref:`active role <user_impersonation>` can delete table rows then the DELETE verb is allowed for clients. Here's an API request to delete old rows from a hypothetical logs table:
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs?time=lt.1991-08-06" -X DELETE
Note that it's very easy to delete the **entire table** by omitting the query parameter!
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs" -X DELETE
This can happen accidentally such as by switching a request from a GET to a DELETE. To protect against accidental operations use the `pg-safeupdate <https://github.com/eradman/pg-safeupdate>`_ PostgreSQL extension. It raises an error if UPDATE or DELETE are executed without specifying conditions. To install it you can use the `PGXN <https://pgxn.org/>`_ network:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo -E pgxn install safeupdate
# then add this to postgresql.conf:
# shared_preload_libraries='safeupdate';
This does not protect against malicious actions, since someone can add a url parameter that does not affect the result set. To prevent this you must turn to database permissions, forbidding the wrong people from deleting rows, and using `row-level security <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-rowsecurity.html>`_ if finer access control is required.

PostGIS
=======
To work with `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/>`_ data types such as ``geometry`` or ``geography``, you'll need to `install PostGIS <https://postgis.net/documentation/getting_started/>`_ first.
.. code-block:: postgres

create table coverage (
id int primary key,

.. _application/geo+json:
``application/geo+json``
------------------------
PostgREST supports the `standard <https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/geo+json>`_ ``application/geo+json`` media type which can be used to get the output in `GeoJSON <https://geojson.org/>`_ format. This will work for PostGIS versions 3.0.0 and up and will return the output as a `FeatureCollection Object <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7946#section-3.3>`_:
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/coverage" \
-H "Accept: application/geo+json"
.. code-block:: json
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[[0,0],[1,0],[1,1],[0,1],[0,0]]
]
},
"properties": {
"id": 1,
"name": "small"
}
},
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[[0,0],[10,0],[10,10],[0,10],[0,0]]
]
},
"properties": {
"id": 2,
"name": "big"
}
}
]
}
Using generated columns
-----------------------
If you need to add an extra property, like the area in square units by using ``st_area(area)``, you could add a generated column to the table and it will appear in the ``properties`` key of each ``Feature``.
.. code-block:: postgres
alter table coverage
add square_units double precision generated always as ( st_area(area) ) stored;
In the case that you are using older PostGIS versions, then creating a function is your best option:
.. code-block:: postgres
create or replace function coverage_geo_collection() returns json as $$
select
json_build_object(
'type', 'FeatureCollection',
'features', json_agg(
json_build_object(
'type', 'Feature',
'geometry', st_AsGeoJSON(c.area)::json,
'properties', json_build_object('id', c.id, 'name', c.name)
)
)
)
from coverage c;
$$ language sql;
Now this query will return the same results:
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/rpc/coverage_geo_collection"
.. code-block:: json
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[[0,0],[1,0],[1,1],[0,1],[0,0]]
]
},
"properties": {
"id": 1,
"name": "small"
}
},
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[[0,0],[10,0],[10,10],[0,10],[0,0]]
]
},
"properties": {
"id": 2,
"name": "big"
}
}
]
}
Using string representation
---------------------------
To insert areas in polygon format, you can use string representation:
.. code-block:: bash
curl "http://localhost:3000/coverage" \
-X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- << EOF
[
{ "id": 3, "name": "strip", "area": "SRID=4326;POLYGON((0 0, 50 0, 50 2, 0 2, 0 0))" },
{ "id": 4, "name": "diamond", "area": "SRID=4326;POLYGON((5 0, 10 5, 5 10, 0 5, 5 0))" }
]
EOF
PostgREST will automatically cast the ``area`` column into a ``Polygon`` geometry type.
