Description

This is a sample chat program implemented using PostgreSQL's listen/notify functionality with pgx.

Start multiple instances of this program connected to the same database to chat between them.

Connection configuration

The database connection is configured via DATABASE_URL and standard PostgreSQL environment variables (PGHOST, PGUSER, etc.)

You can either export them then run chat:

export PGHOST=/private/tmp
./chat

Or you can prefix the chat execution with the environment variables:

PGHOST=/private/tmp ./chat
