Connecting to CockroachDB serverless using pg via workers

1. Created a npx wrangler init . 2. Then "npm install pg" and added the query code into index.js 3. then, npx wrangler dev, got compatibility errors, and got suggestions to add "node_compat = true", and I did, those errors disappeared 4. Then again ran "npx wrangler dev", got error ' could not resolve "pg-native" '. And this is where I'm struck. I ran same code in normal js and it worked, but I don't know why is it asking "pg-native", and also I tried to install it locally and globally, and it won't get installed. 5. What to do?

Great! Thanks. QQ - I am trying to deploy using Astro (so pages rather than a Worker). I want to use pg in an API route like below. Where do I specify I want to use Node compatibility? I see Settings -> Functions -> Compatibility flags in the dashboard UI. I guess I am not clear on 1. Do I just add node_compat in the UI? (or is it nodejs_compt) 2. Have I actually understood the process correctly that an Astro API route will be converted to a Pages Function?

import { Client } from "pg";

export async function GET({ params, request }) {
  const DATABASE_URL = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get("database_url");
  const client = new Client({ DATABASE_URL });
  await client.connect();
  await client.query("SELECT 1;");
  await client.end();
  return new Response(
    JSON.stringify({
      DATABASE_URL: DATABASE_URL,
    })
  );
}

import { Client } from "pg";

export async function GET({ params, request }) {
  const DATABASE_URL = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get("database_url");
  const client = new Client({ DATABASE_URL });
  await client.connect();
  await client.query("SELECT 1;");
  await client.end();
  return new Response(
    JSON.stringify({
      DATABASE_URL: DATABASE_URL,
    })
  );
}

The error I get on deploy is

The package "net" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying to bundle for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.
