This commit introduces an SQL-over-HTTP endpoint in the proxy, with a JSON response structure resembling that of the node-postgres driver. This method, using HTTP POST, achieves smaller amortized latencies in edge setups due to fewer round trips and an enhanced open connection reuse by the v8 engine. This update involves several intricacies: 1. SQL injection protection: We employed the extended query protocol, modifying the rust-postgres driver to send queries in one roundtrip using a text protocol rather than binary, bypassing potential issues like those identified in https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres/issues/1030. 2. Postgres type compatibility: As not all postgres types have binary representations (e.g., acl's in pg_class), we adjusted rust-postgres to respond with text protocol, simplifying serialization and fixing queries with text-only types in response. 3. Data type conversion: Considering JSON supports fewer data types than Postgres, we perform conversions where possible, passing all other types as strings. Key conversions include: - postgres int2, int4, float4, float8 -> json number (NaN and Inf remain text) - postgres bool, null, text -> json bool, null, string - postgres array -> json array - postgres json and jsonb -> json object 4. Alignment with node-postgres: To facilitate integration with js libraries, we've matched the response structure of node-postgres, returning command tags and column oids. Command tag capturing was added to the rust-postgres functionality as part of this change.
