Parsing for multihost

[kalemayur8]

Hi There,

I was trying to parse the below URL , but it is returning null

const h = ConnectionString.parseHost('[server.site1.company.com::]:1512); console.log(h);

prints null on console.

Basically I want to create multihost string like below

postgres://user:[email protected]:1512,[server2.site2.company.com::]:1512/dbname?target_session_attrs=read-write

That's because [server.site1.company.com::] does not adhere to any valid address format. You are taking a domain address, and trying to treat it as if it were an IPv6 address.

@vitaly-t any suggestion on how it should be with the domain name? is below string is correct?

I am using pg library for postgres connection.

const conn = new ConnectionString('postgres://server1.site1.company.com:1512,server2.site2.company.com:1512/dbname?target_session_attrs=read-write');
conn.setDefaults({user:'user',password:'password'});

it forms correct string I guess, but while trying to connect with DB fails here

[ { name: 'server1.site1.company.com',
    type: 'domain',
    port: 1512 },
  { name: 'server2.site2.company.com',
    type: 'domain',
    port: 1512 } ]

(node:13772) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: error: database ":1512,server2.site2.company.com/dbname" does not exist

Why your database server does not recognize a connection - probably because it does not support multi-host configurations. But that's not relevant for investigation here. That's the driver's issue.

And as for the pg driver - it does not support multi-host configurations, AFAIK. See here.

As far as Parsing for multi-host goes here, I believe this has been sorted, so I am closing the issue.
