+# SeaweedFS PostgreSQL Protocol Examples
+
+This directory contains examples demonstrating how to connect to SeaweedFS using the PostgreSQL wire protocol.
+
+## Starting the PostgreSQL Server
+
+```bash
+# Start with trust authentication (no password required)
+weed postgres -port=5432 -master=localhost:9333
+
+# Start with password authentication
+weed postgres -port=5432 -auth=password -users="admin:secret,readonly:view123"
+
+# Start with MD5 authentication (more secure)
+weed postgres -port=5432 -auth=md5 -users="user1:pass1,user2:pass2"
+
+# Start with TLS encryption
+weed postgres -port=5432 -tls-cert=server.crt -tls-key=server.key
+
+# Allow connections from any host
+weed postgres -host=0.0.0.0 -port=5432
+```
+
+## Client Connections
+
+### psql Command Line
+
+```bash
+# Basic connection (trust auth)
+psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U seaweedfs -d default
+
+# With password
+PGPASSWORD=secret psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U admin -d default
+
+# Connection string format
+psql "postgresql://admin:secret@localhost:5432/default"
+
+# Connection string with parameters
+psql "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=default user=admin password=secret"
+```
+
+### Programming Languages
+
+#### Python (psycopg2)
+```python
+import psycopg2
+
+# Connect to SeaweedFS
+conn = psycopg2.connect(
+    host="localhost",
+    port=5432,
+    user="seaweedfs", 
+    database="default"
+)
+
+# Execute queries
+cursor = conn.cursor()
+cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM my_topic LIMIT 10")
+
+for row in cursor.fetchall():
+    print(row)
+
+cursor.close()
+conn.close()
+```
+
+#### Java JDBC
+```java
+import java.sql.*;
+
+public class SeaweedFSExample {
+    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
+        String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/default";
+        
+        Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "seaweedfs", "");
+        Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
+        
+        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM my_topic LIMIT 10");
+        while (rs.next()) {
+            System.out.println("ID: " + rs.getLong("id"));
+            System.out.println("Message: " + rs.getString("message"));
+        }
+        
+        rs.close();
+        stmt.close(); 
+        conn.close();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Go (lib/pq)
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "database/sql"
+    "fmt"
+    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    db, err := sql.Open("postgres", 
+        "host=localhost port=5432 user=seaweedfs dbname=default sslmode=disable")
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+    defer db.Close()
+
+    rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM my_topic LIMIT 10")
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+    defer rows.Close()
+
+    for rows.Next() {
+        var id int64
+        var message string
+        err := rows.Scan(&id, &message)
+        if err != nil {
+            panic(err)
+        }
+        fmt.Printf("ID: %d, Message: %s\n", id, message)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Node.js (pg)
+```javascript
+const { Client } = require('pg');
+
+const client = new Client({
+    host: 'localhost',
+    port: 5432,
+    user: 'seaweedfs',
+    database: 'default',
+});
+
+async function query() {
+    await client.connect();
+    
+    const result = await client.query('SELECT * FROM my_topic LIMIT 10');
+    console.log(result.rows);
+    
+    await client.end();
+}
+
+query().catch(console.error);
+```
+
+## SQL Operations
+
+### Basic Queries
+```sql
+-- List databases
+SHOW DATABASES;
+
+-- List tables (topics)
+SHOW TABLES;
+
+-- Describe table structure
+DESCRIBE my_topic;
+-- or
+DESC my_topic;
+
+-- Basic select
+SELECT * FROM my_topic;
+
+-- With WHERE clause
+SELECT id, message FROM my_topic WHERE id > 1000;
+
+-- With LIMIT
+SELECT * FROM my_topic ORDER BY _timestamp_ns DESC LIMIT 100;
+```
+
+### Aggregations
+```sql
+-- Count records
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM my_topic;
+
+-- Multiple aggregations
+SELECT 
+    COUNT(*) as total_messages,
+    MIN(id) as min_id,
+    MAX(id) as max_id,
+    AVG(amount) as avg_amount
+FROM my_topic;
+
+-- Aggregations with WHERE
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM my_topic WHERE status = 'active';
+```
+
+### System Columns
+```sql
+-- Access system columns
+SELECT 
+    id,
+    message, 
+    _timestamp_ns as timestamp,
+    _key as partition_key,
+    _source as data_source
+FROM my_topic;
+
+-- Filter by timestamp
+SELECT * FROM my_topic 
+WHERE _timestamp_ns > 1640995200000000000
+LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL System Queries
+```sql
+-- Version information
+SELECT version();
+
+-- Current database
+SELECT current_database();
+
+-- Current user
+SELECT current_user;
+
+-- Server settings
+SELECT current_setting('server_version');
+SELECT current_setting('server_encoding');
+```
+
+## psql Meta-Commands
+
+```sql
+-- List tables
+\d
+\dt
+
+-- List databases  
+\l
+
+-- Describe specific table
+\d my_topic
+\dt my_topic
+
+-- List schemas
+\dn
+
+-- Help
+\h
+\?
+
+-- Quit
+\q
+```
+
+## Database Tools Integration
+
+### DBeaver
+1. Create New Connection → PostgreSQL
+2. Settings:
+   - **Host**: localhost
+   - **Port**: 5432
+   - **Database**: default
+   - **Username**: seaweedfs (or configured user)
+   - **Password**: (if using password auth)
+
+### pgAdmin
+1. Add New Server
+2. Connection tab:
+   - **Host**: localhost
+   - **Port**: 5432
+   - **Username**: seaweedfs
+   - **Database**: default
+
+### DataGrip
+1. New Data Source → PostgreSQL
+2. Configure:
+   - **Host**: localhost
+   - **Port**: 5432
+   - **User**: seaweedfs
+   - **Database**: default
+
+### Grafana
+1. Add Data Source → PostgreSQL
+2. Configuration:
+   - **Host**: localhost:5432
+   - **Database**: default
+   - **User**: seaweedfs
+   - **SSL Mode**: disable
+
+## BI Tools
+
+### Tableau
+1. Connect to Data → PostgreSQL
+2. Server: localhost
+3. Port: 5432
+4. Database: default
+5. Username: seaweedfs
+
+### Power BI
+1. Get Data → Database → PostgreSQL
+2. Server: localhost
+3. Database: default
+4. Username: seaweedfs
+
+## Connection Pooling
+
+### Java (HikariCP)
+```java
+HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
+config.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/default");
+config.setUsername("seaweedfs");
+config.setMaximumPoolSize(10);
+
+HikariDataSource dataSource = new HikariDataSource(config);
+```
+
+### Python (connection pooling)
+```python
+from psycopg2 import pool
+
+connection_pool = psycopg2.pool.SimpleConnectionPool(
+    1, 20,
+    host="localhost",
+    port=5432,
+    user="seaweedfs",
+    database="default"
+)
+
+conn = connection_pool.getconn()
+# Use connection
+connection_pool.putconn(conn)
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### Use TLS Encryption
+```bash
+# Generate self-signed certificate for testing
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 365 -nodes
+
+# Start with TLS
+weed postgres -tls-cert=server.crt -tls-key=server.key
+```
+
+### Use MD5 Authentication
+```bash
+# More secure than password auth
+weed postgres -auth=md5 -users="admin:secret123,readonly:view456"
+```
+
+### Limit Connections
+```bash
+# Limit concurrent connections
+weed postgres -max-connections=50 -idle-timeout=30m
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Issues
+```bash
+# Test connectivity
+telnet localhost 5432
+
+# Check if server is running
+ps aux | grep "weed postgres"
+
+# Check logs for errors
+tail -f /var/log/seaweedfs/postgres.log
+```
+
+### Common Errors
+
+**"Connection refused"**
+- Ensure PostgreSQL server is running
+- Check host/port configuration
+- Verify firewall settings
+
+**"Authentication failed"**
+- Check username/password
+- Verify auth method configuration
+- Ensure user is configured in server
+
+**"Database does not exist"**
+- Use correct database name (default: 'default')
+- Check available databases: `SHOW DATABASES`
+
+**"Permission denied"**
+- Check user permissions
+- Verify authentication method
+- Use correct credentials
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use LIMIT clauses** for large result sets
+2. **Filter with WHERE clauses** to reduce data transfer
+3. **Use connection pooling** for multi-threaded applications
+4. **Close resources properly** (connections, statements, result sets)
+5. **Use prepared statements** for repeated queries
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Connection Statistics
+```sql
+-- Current connections (if supported)
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;
+
+-- Server version
+SELECT version();
+
+-- Current settings
+SELECT name, setting FROM pg_settings WHERE name LIKE '%connection%';
+```
+
+### Query Performance
+```sql
+-- Use EXPLAIN for query plans (if supported)
+EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM my_topic WHERE id > 1000;
+```
+
+This PostgreSQL protocol support makes SeaweedFS accessible to the entire PostgreSQL ecosystem, enabling seamless integration with existing tools, applications, and workflows.

+	Long: `Start a PostgreSQL wire protocol compatible server that provides SQL query access to SeaweedFS.
+
+This PostgreSQL server enables any PostgreSQL client, tool, or application to connect to SeaweedFS
+and execute SQL queries against MQ topics. It implements the PostgreSQL wire protocol for maximum
+compatibility with the existing PostgreSQL ecosystem.
+
+Examples:
+
+	# Start PostgreSQL server on default port 5432
+	weed postgres
+	
+	# Start with password authentication
+	weed postgres -auth=password -users="admin:secret,readonly:view123"
+	
+	# Start with MD5 authentication 
+	weed postgres -auth=md5 -users="user1:pass1,user2:pass2"
+	
+	# Start with custom port and master
+	weed postgres -port=5433 -master=master1:9333
+	
+	# Allow connections from any host
+	weed postgres -host=0.0.0.0 -port=5432
+	
+	# Start with TLS encryption
+	weed postgres -tls-cert=server.crt -tls-key=server.key
+
+Client Connection Examples:
+
+	# psql command line client
+	psql "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=default user=seaweedfs"
+	psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U seaweedfs -d default
+	
+	# With password
+	PGPASSWORD=secret psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U admin -d default
+	
+	# Connection string
+	psql "postgresql://admin:secret@localhost:5432/default"
+
+Programming Language Examples:
+
+	# Python (psycopg2)
+	import psycopg2
+	conn = psycopg2.connect(
+		host="localhost", port=5432, 
+		user="seaweedfs", database="default"
+	)
+	
+	# Java JDBC
+	String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/default";
+	Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "seaweedfs", "");
+	
+	# Go (lib/pq)
+	db, err := sql.Open("postgres", "host=localhost port=5432 user=seaweedfs dbname=default sslmode=disable")
+	
+	# Node.js (pg)
+	const client = new Client({
+		host: 'localhost', port: 5432,
+		user: 'seaweedfs', database: 'default'
+	});
+
+Supported SQL Operations:
+	- SELECT queries on MQ topics
+	- DESCRIBE/DESC table_name commands
+	- SHOW DATABASES/TABLES commands  
+	- Aggregation functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX)
+	- WHERE clauses with filtering
+	- System columns (_timestamp_ns, _key, _source)
+	- PostgreSQL system queries (version(), current_database(), etc.)
+	- psql meta-commands (\d, \dt, \l, etc.)
+
+Authentication Methods:
+	- trust: No authentication required (default)
+	- password: Clear text password authentication
+	- md5: MD5 password authentication (more secure)
+
+Compatible Tools:
+	- psql (PostgreSQL command line client)
+	- pgAdmin (PostgreSQL admin tool)
+	- DBeaver (universal database tool)
+	- DataGrip (JetBrains database IDE)
+	- Grafana (PostgreSQL data source)
+	- Superset (PostgreSQL connector)
+	- Tableau (PostgreSQL native connector)
+	- Any PostgreSQL JDBC/ODBC compatible tool
+
+Security Features:
+	- Multiple authentication methods
+	- TLS encryption support
+	- User access control
+	- Connection limits
+	- Read-only access (no data modification)
+
+Performance Features:
+	- Connection pooling
+	- Configurable connection limits
+	- Idle connection timeout
+	- Efficient wire protocol
+	- Query result streaming

+    PG_MSG_TERMINATE       = 'X'   // Terminate connection
+    PG_MSG_PASSWORD        = 'p'   // Password message
+)
+
+// PostgreSQL response types
+const (
+    PG_RESP_AUTH_OK        = 'R'   // Authentication OK
+    PG_RESP_AUTH_REQ       = 'R'   // Authentication request

+    PG_RESP_ROW_DESC       = 'T'   // Row description
+    PG_RESP_PARSE_COMPLETE = '1'   // Parse complete

+    fields     []FieldDescription
+}
+
+type Portal struct {
+    name       string
+    statement  string
+    parameters [][]byte
+    suspended  bool
+}
+```
+
+### 3. SQL Translation Layer
+
+```go
+type PostgreSQLTranslator struct {
+    dialectMap map[string]string
+}
+
+// Translates PostgreSQL-specific SQL to SeaweedFS SQL
+func (t *PostgreSQLTranslator) TranslateQuery(pgSQL string) (string, error) {
+    // Handle PostgreSQL-specific syntax:
+    // - SELECT version() -> SELECT 'SeaweedFS 1.0'
+    // - SELECT current_database() -> SELECT 'default'
+    // - SELECT current_user -> SELECT 'seaweedfs'
+    // - \d commands -> SHOW TABLES/DESCRIBE equivalents
+    // - PostgreSQL system catalogs -> SeaweedFS equivalents
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Data Type Mapping
+
+```go
+var PostgreSQLTypeMap = map[string]uint32{
+    "TEXT":      25,   // PostgreSQL TEXT type
+    "VARCHAR":   1043, // PostgreSQL VARCHAR type
+    "INTEGER":   23,   // PostgreSQL INTEGER type
+    "BIGINT":    20,   // PostgreSQL BIGINT type
+    "FLOAT":     701,  // PostgreSQL FLOAT8 type
+    "BOOLEAN":   16,   // PostgreSQL BOOLEAN type
+    "TIMESTAMP": 1114, // PostgreSQL TIMESTAMP type
+    "JSON":      114,  // PostgreSQL JSON type
+}
+
+func SeaweedToPostgreSQLType(seaweedType string) uint32 {
+    if pgType, exists := PostgreSQLTypeMap[strings.ToUpper(seaweedType)]; exists {
+        return pgType
+    }
+    return 25 // Default to TEXT
+}
+```
+

+```
+
+### 2. Authentication
+
+```go
+type AuthMethod int
+
+const (
+    AuthTrust AuthMethod = iota
+    AuthPassword
+    AuthMD5
+    AuthSASL
+)
+
+func (s *PostgreSQLServer) handleAuthentication(session *PostgreSQLSession) error {
+    switch s.authMethod {
+    case AuthTrust:
+        return s.sendAuthenticationOk(session)
+    case AuthPassword:
+        return s.handlePasswordAuth(session)
+    case AuthMD5:
+        return s.handleMD5Auth(session)
+    default:
+        return fmt.Errorf("unsupported auth method")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Query Processing
+
+```go
+func (s *PostgreSQLServer) handleSimpleQuery(session *PostgreSQLSession, query string) error {
+    // 1. Translate PostgreSQL SQL to SeaweedFS SQL
+    translatedQuery, err := s.translator.TranslateQuery(query)
+    if err != nil {
+        return s.sendError(session, err)
+    }
+    
+    // 2. Execute using existing SQL engine
+    result, err := s.sqlEngine.ExecuteSQL(context.Background(), translatedQuery)
+    if err != nil {
+        return s.sendError(session, err)
+    }
+    
+    // 3. Send results in PostgreSQL format
+    err = s.sendRowDescription(session, result.Columns)
+    if err != nil {
+        return err
+    }
+    
+    for _, row := range result.Rows {
+        err = s.sendDataRow(session, row)
+        if err != nil {
+            return err
+        }
+    }
+    
+    return s.sendCommandComplete(session, fmt.Sprintf("SELECT %d", len(result.Rows)))
+}
+```
+
+## System Catalogs Support
+
+PostgreSQL clients expect certain system catalogs. We'll implement views for key ones:
+
+```sql
+-- pg_tables equivalent
+SELECT 
+    'default' as schemaname,
+    table_name as tablename,
+    'seaweedfs' as tableowner,
+    NULL as tablespace,
+    false as hasindexes,
+    false as hasrules,
+    false as hastriggers
+FROM information_schema.tables;
+
+-- pg_database equivalent  
+SELECT 
+    database_name as datname,
+    'seaweedfs' as datdba,
+    'UTF8' as encoding,
+    'C' as datcollate,
+    'C' as datctype
+FROM information_schema.schemata;
+
+-- pg_version equivalent
+SELECT 'SeaweedFS 1.0 (PostgreSQL 14.0 compatible)' as version;
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Server Configuration
+```go
+type PostgreSQLServerConfig struct {
+    Host         string
+    Port         int
+    Database     string
+    AuthMethod   AuthMethod
+    Users        map[string]string // username -> password
+    TLSConfig    *tls.Config
+    MaxConns     int
+    IdleTimeout  time.Duration
+}
+```
+
+### Client Connection String
+```bash
+# Standard PostgreSQL connection strings work
+psql "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=default user=seaweedfs"
+PGPASSWORD=secret psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U seaweedfs -d default
+
+# JDBC URL
+jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/default?user=seaweedfs&password=secret
+```
+
+## Command Line Interface
+
+```bash
+# Start PostgreSQL protocol server
+weed postgres -port=5432 -auth=trust
+weed postgres -port=5432 -auth=password -users="admin:secret,readonly:pass"
+weed postgres -port=5432 -tls-cert=server.crt -tls-key=server.key
+
+# Configuration options
+-host=localhost              # Listen host
+-port=5432                   # PostgreSQL standard port
+-auth=trust|password|md5     # Authentication method
+-users=user:pass,user2:pass2 # User credentials (password/md5 auth)
+-database=default            # Default database name
+-max-connections=100         # Maximum concurrent connections
+-idle-timeout=1h             # Connection idle timeout
+-tls-cert=""                 # TLS certificate file

+### Import the Package
+```go
+import "github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/weed/server/postgres"
+```
+
+### Create and Start Server
+```go
+config := &postgres.PostgreSQLServerConfig{
+    Host:        "localhost",
+    Port:        5432,
+    AuthMethod:  postgres.AuthMD5,
+    Users:       map[string]string{"admin": "secret"},
+    Database:    "default",
+    MaxConns:    100,
+    IdleTimeout: time.Hour,
+}
+
+server, err := postgres.NewPostgreSQLServer(config, "localhost:9333")
+if err != nil {
+    return err
+}
+
+err = server.Start()
+if err != nil {
+    return err
+}
+
+// Server is now accepting PostgreSQL connections
+```
+
+## Authentication Methods
+
+The package supports three authentication methods:
+
+### Trust Authentication
+```go
+AuthMethod: postgres.AuthTrust
+```
+- No password required
+- Suitable for development/testing
+- Not recommended for production
+
+### Password Authentication  
+```go
+AuthMethod: postgres.AuthPassword,
+Users: map[string]string{"user": "password"}
+```
+- Clear text password transmission
+- Simple but less secure
+- Requires TLS for production use
+
+### MD5 Authentication
+```go  
+AuthMethod: postgres.AuthMD5,
+Users: map[string]string{"user": "password"}
+```
+- Secure hashed authentication with salt
+- **Recommended for production**
+- Compatible with all PostgreSQL clients
+
+## TLS Configuration
+
+Enable TLS encryption for secure connections:
+
+```go
+cert, err := tls.LoadX509KeyPair("server.crt", "server.key")
+if err != nil {
+    return err
+}
+
+config.TLSConfig = &tls.Config{
+    Certificates: []tls.Certificate{cert},
+}
+```
