Old version of pg-types is used

[aqeelat]

The current version of pg@8.13.3 uses pg-types@^2, but @types/pg@^8.11 uses pg-types@^4

node-postgres/packages/pg/package.json

Line 26 in 5a67344

"pg-types": "^2.1.0",

This means ts projects have two versions of these packages:

• postgres-array
• postgres-byte
• postgres-date

yeah pg-types@4.x has some breaking changes I'm not intending on incorporating ever. I have some immenent plants on getting pg-types upgraded to a fork of 4.x or 4.x + wrapper code to undo the breaking changes. While I understand why the breaking changes were done the hard to debug quietly breaking code that would be deployed into production systems w/ those changes is not something I'm willing to accept. so its taking me a bit of time to upgrade....but it's one of the next things I'll be tackling!

This seems like a bug for @types/pg. is there any reason for it to use pg-types v4?

[brianc]

is there any reason for it to use pg-types v4?

ohh yeah i would agree there isn't a good one since pg itself ships with pg-types@2.x
