The whole application will need the same search_path, so it is wasteful
to do that in each handler.
It is possible to pass the search path as a parameter to the database’s
connection string, but then everyone would need to remember to do that,
and update the configuration in case i add another schema.
Similarly, i need to change the user’s role to match her
permissions—which are not in yet—, but this time i need it each time a
handler requests a connection from the pool, because each time the
connection is returned to the pool i reset the role back to the initial,
that hopefully will be authenticator.
I do not yet know how i will need to organize them, if indeed i need to
organize them to a finer granularity than single files, so there is no
point on doing Java-like packages.
I’ve tried to make RPM packages of numerus and pgx/v4 for AlmaLinux, so
install in a virtual server, but i was unable to break a build cycle
between golang/x/text, required by pgx, and golang/x/tools both a
dependency and a dependee of golang/x/text: once tools finished
building, it would trigger a new build for text, that in turn would
trigger a build for all its dependences, including tools.
At the end i had to create a Debian repository, because they already
have all the packages, even though i had to back port pgx/v4 from
Testing to bullseye. I did not want to try my luck with writting
packages for pgx/v5, so v4 it is.
This is a very rough test to actually check the login function outside
pgTAP; it is very ugly, in both design and code, and (i hope) does not
reflect future quality.
I was about to use Echo[0] as a “web framework”, but something feels
wrong when using a framework with Go—i do not know what. I actually
tried it and was even more put off by the JSON-formatted logger that can
not be disabled; i was already losing control of the application!
I created the folder following the apparently de facto guidelines for Go
projects, and i see no problem with mixing Go’s folders with Sqitch’s:
both are part of the same application and there are not conflicts.
