PostgresConnection

PostgreSQL connection using the official driver.

Implements: IReferenceable, IConfigurable, IOpenable

Description

The PostgresConnection class allows you to create connections to PostgreSQL databases using the official driver.

Important points

  • By defining a connection and sharing it through multiple persistence components you can reduce the number of used database connections.
