This makes it possible for the compiler to validate that a match block matched all PostgreSQL versions we support. ## Problem We did not have a complete picture about which places we had to test against PG versions, and what format these versions were: The full PG version ID format (Major/minor/bugfix `MMmmbb`) as transfered in protocol messages, or only the Major release version (`MM`). This meant type confusion was rampant. With this change, it becomes easier to develop new version-dependent features, by making type and niche confusion impossible. ## Summary of changes Every use of `pg_version` is now typed as either `PgVersionId` (u32, valued in decimal `MMmmbb`) or PgMajorVersion (an enum, with a value for every major version we support, serialized and stored like a u32 with the value of that major version) --------- Co-authored-by: Arpad Müller <arpad-m@users.noreply.github.com>
Local Development Control Plane (neon_local)
This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command. This is a convenience to invoke
the neon_local binary.
Note: this is a dev/test tool -- a minimal control plane suitable for testing code changes locally, but not suitable for running production systems.
Example: Start with Postgres 16
To create and start a local development environment with Postgres 16, you will need to provide --pg-version flag to 3 of the start-up commands.
cargo neon init --pg-version 16
cargo neon start
cargo neon tenant create --set-default --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint start main
Example: Create Test User and Database
By default, cargo neon starts an endpoint with cloud_admin and postgres database. If you want to have a role and a database similar to what we have on the cloud service, you can do it with the following commands when starting an endpoint.
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16 --update-catalog true
cargo neon endpoint start main --create-test-user true
The first command creates neon_superuser and necessary roles. The second command creates test user and neondb database. You will see a connection string that connects you to the test user after running the second command.
