Heroku Postgres - The server does not support SSL connections - postgresql

Question

I have been working on an small app and connecting with Heroku PostgreSQL, for many days was working right but now is showing me this SSL error
The server does not support SSL connections
I have been looking for solutions but I cannot find anything that works for me, my code is:
import pg from 'pg'
import db from '../config.js'
const pool = new pg.Pool({
host: db.host,
database: db.database,
user: db.user,
port: db.port,
password: db.password,
ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false },
})
export default function query(text, params) {
return pool.query(text, params)
}

Answer 1

Try changing it from Pool to Client and then using that to connect and query.
async function get(){
const client = new pg.Client({
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
},
user: ...,
password: ...,
port: ...,
host: ...,
database: ...
});
client.connect();
const response = await client.query(`SELECT * FROM ...;`)
return response.rows
}
Double check your values in the Heroku database.
Also, in production, you should just need
const client = new pg.Client({
connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
},
}
The first set of code is for local connection to your db.
One last note, I would put your user, password, etc... into a .env file and don't commit that to your repo.
UPDATE:
You can also put this into a config file like ./db.config.js as the following
const pg = require('pg')
module.exports =
process.env.DATABASE_URL
?
new pg.Client({
connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
},
})
:
new pg.Client({
// connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
},
user: process.env.DATABASE_USER,
password: process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD,
port: process.env.DATABASE_PORT,
host: process.env.DATABASE_HOST,
database: process.env.DATABASE
})
So if it is in production, it will use the database url, and if there is none (which is local) then it will use the username password connection.
