Connecting to Postgres With psql and .pg_service.conf
The article discusses the use of .pg_service.conf file to simplify connecting to PostgreSQL databases. It explains how this file allows users to alias names with PostgreSQL connection information, making it easier to remember and connect to different database services. The author also mentions a new feature in Timescale Console that generates a configuration file for all current services in the project, which can be downloaded and used directly from psql. This feature is particularly useful for those who manage multiple databases and want an efficient way to connect to them without remembering specific hostnames or port numbers.
