Volos PostgreSQL Connector (v0.0.19, last updated 2014) is a Node.js module from Apigee that exposes PostgreSQL queries as RESTful API endpoints. It allows mapping SQL queries to URL paths and query parameters via JSON configuration, enabling easy CRUD operations over HTTP. Release cadence is unknown and appears inactive. Differentiates by providing a simple REST-to-SQL mapping layer, but is outdated and not recommended for new projects. Use modern alternatives like PostgREST or direct database drivers.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

PgConnector

✓ const { PgConnector } = require('volos-pgsql');

✗ import { PgConnector } from 'volos-pgsql'

Package uses CJS only; no ESM support.

pgConnector

✓ const pgConnector = require('volos-pgsql');

✗ import pgConnector from 'volos-pgsql'

Default import is not available; use require.

PgConnector (with new)

✓ const connector = new PgConnector({profile, restMap});

✗ const connector = new pgConnector({profile, restMap});

module.exports is an object containing PgConnector, not the constructor directly.

Creates an HTTP server that exposes PostgreSQL queries as RESTful endpoints using a JSON mapping configuration.

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained since 2014.

fix

Migrate to a modern database connector pattern (e.g., direct pg usage, PostgREST, or an ORM).

affects: all

breakingvolos-pgsql is hardcoded to use Postgres module 'pg' version 1.x; newer 'pg' v8+ may break.

fix

Lock pg to version 1.x or use an alternative connector.

affects: >=0.0.19

breakingRestMap configuration must include exact paths; misconfiguration leads to silent failures.

fix

Validate restMap keys match expected routes.

affects: all

gotchaThe package does not support connection pooling; each request creates a new connection.

fix

Use a connection pool with node-postgres directly instead.

affects: all

gotchaNo built-in SQL injection protection; queries constructed via template strings.

fix

Sanitize user input and use parameterized queries.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'volos-pgsql'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install volos-pgsql' to install the package.

TypeError: pgConnector.PgConnector is not a constructor

Incorrect import of the constructor.

fix

Use 'const pgConnector = require('volos-pgsql'); const connector = new pgConnector.PgConnector(...);' or 'const { PgConnector } = require('volos-pgsql'); new PgConnector(...);'.

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432

PostgreSQL server not running or connection settings wrong.

fix

Ensure PostgreSQL is running and the profile host/port are correct. Check firewall settings.

Cannot find module 'pg'

Peer dependency 'pg' is not installed.

fix

Run 'npm install pg' to install the PostgreSQL driver.
