PostgreSQL Query

PostgreSQL is available at {{POSTGRES_HOST}}:{{POSTGRES_PORT}} within the Docker network.

Running SQL Queries

# Execute a query
PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql -h {{POSTGRES_HOST}} -p {{POSTGRES_PORT}} -U {{POSTGRES_USER}} -d {{POSTGRES_DB}} \
  -c "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10;"

# Execute from a SQL file
PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql -h {{POSTGRES_HOST}} -p {{POSTGRES_PORT}} -U {{POSTGRES_USER}} -d {{POSTGRES_DB}} \
  -f /data/queries/report.sql

Creating Tables

PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql -h {{POSTGRES_HOST}} -p {{POSTGRES_PORT}} -U {{POSTGRES_USER}} -d {{POSTGRES_DB}} -c "
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS documents (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  title TEXT NOT NULL,
  content TEXT,
  embedding vector(384),
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);"

Importing and Exporting Data

# Export to CSV
PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql -h {{POSTGRES_HOST}} -p {{POSTGRES_PORT}} -U {{POSTGRES_USER}} -d {{POSTGRES_DB}} \
  -c "\COPY (SELECT * FROM users) TO '/data/output/users.csv' WITH CSV HEADER"

# Import from CSV
PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql -h {{POSTGRES_HOST}} -p {{POSTGRES_PORT}} -U {{POSTGRES_USER}} -d {{POSTGRES_DB}} \
  -c "\COPY users FROM '/data/input/users.csv' WITH CSV HEADER"

Tips for AI Agents

• Always use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.
• Use \dt to list tables, \d table_name to describe a table schema.
• Use transactions (BEGIN; ... COMMIT;) for multi-step operations.
• Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to understand query performance.
• The pgvector extension enables vector similarity search.
