Introduction of PostgreSQL:

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development phase and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness.

PostgreSQL (pronounced as post-gress-Q-L) is an open-source relational database management system (DBMS) developed by a worldwide team of volunteers. PostgreSQL is not controlled by any corporation or other private entity and the source code is available free of charge.

PostgreSQL Setup Steps:

• Downloading the installer
• Launching the installation
• Selecting the install location
• Selecting components
• Selecting where to store data
• Setting the user password
• Selecting the port number
• Setting locale
• Review and installation

1. Downloading the installer

Visit the downloads page of EnterpriseDB’s website, https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads. Download your preferred version from the list available.

2. Launching the installation

Run the downloaded dmg package as the administrator user. When you get the screen below, click on the “Next” button:

3. Selecting the install location

You will be asked to specify which directory you wish to use to install Postgres. Select your desired location and click “Next”:

4. Selecting components

You will next be asked to select the tools that you want to install along with the Postgres installation. PostgreSQL server and command line tools are compulsory. Stack Builder and pgAdmin 4 are optional. Please select from the list and click “Next”:

5. Selecting where to store data

You will be asked to select the location for your Postgres cluster’s Data Directory. Please select an appropriate location and click “Next”:

6. Setting the superuser password

You will be asked to provide the password of the Postgres Unix superuser, which will be created at the time of installation. Please provide an appropriate password and click “Next”:

7. Selecting the port number

You will be asked to select the port number on which the PostgreSQL server will listen for incoming connections. Please provide an appropriate port number. (The default port number is 5432.) Make sure the port is open from your firewall and the traffic on that port is accessible. Click “Next”:

8. Setting locale

Please select the appropriate locale (language preferences) and click “Next”:

9. Review and installation

You will be provided a summary of your selections from the previous installation screens. Review it carefully and click “Next” to complete the installation:

Add Dependency:

Run this command:

With Dart:

$ dart pub add postgres

With Flutter:

$ flutter pub add postgres

This will add a line like this to your package’s pubspec.yaml (and run an implicit dart pub get):

dependencies:
postgres: ^2.6.1

Alternatively, your editor might support dart pub get or flutter pub get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.

Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:postgres/postgres.dart';

Configuration:

Create PostgreSQLConnection and open them:

static var connection = PostgreSQLConnection(
Constants.dbHostForEmulator, Constants.port, Constants.db,
username: Constants.dbUsername, password: Constants.dbPassword);
static Future<void> requestForDBConnectionStart() async {
await connection.open().then((value) => debugPrint("Connection Establish"));
}

Execute queries with query:

Queries for Creating Tablestatic Future<String?> createTable() async{
try {
await connection.query('''
CREATE TABLE person(
name text,
email text
)
''').then((value) => (){
return "table created successfully";
});
} on PostgreSQLException catch (e) {
print(e.message);
return e.message;
}
return "";
}

Queries for Insert data in the table

static Future<void> addData() async {
try {
await connection.query('''
INSERT INTO person(name,email)
VALUES ('RAHUL THAKUR','rahul@oppong.co')
''');
} on PostgreSQLException catch (e) {
print(e.message);
}
}

Queries for fetching all data of the given table

static Future<void> fetchAllData() async {
try {
dynamic results = await connection.query("SELECT * FROM ${Constants.usersTable}");
if (results.isEmpty) {
print("No Record Found");
} else {
for (final row in results) {
var a = row[0];
var b = row[1];
print("A = " + a);
print("B = " + b);
}
}
} on PostgreSQLException catch (e) {
print(e.message);
}
}

Queries for closing the DB connection

static Future<void> requestForDBConnectionStop() async {
try {
await connection
.close()
.then((value) => debugPrint("Connection successfully close"));
} on PostgreSQLException catch (e) {
print(e.message);
}
}

Conclusion:

In the article, I have explained the implementation of PostgreSQL In Flutter; you can modify this code according to your choice. This was a small introduction to the implementation of PostgreSQL In Flutter User Interaction from my side, and it’s working using Flutter.

I hope this blog will provide you with sufficient information on Trying to Implement PostgreSQL In Flutter in your Flutter projects. We will show you what the Introduction is. Make a demo program for working on PostgreSQL with Flutter in your Flutter applications. So please try it.
