Hi Team

Hello! Unfortunately, node 14 is not supported by current or future versions of pg. I'd love to maintain compatiblity with all versions of node backwards and forwards forever, but it's just not feasible. You will need to remain pinned to versions of pgat 8.16.x or lower as long as you are on node versions which are outside of node's own LTS window as of today. https://node-postgres.com/guides/upgrading#node-version-support

As far as why the older version, which was working, is no longer working...that doesn't sound like an issue with pg. I literally canont change an old version once it's published to npm, so likely something w/ your npm install or lockfile or something.

One aside is I might just go through and remove the node: prefix on imports anyway. They seem to be causing more harm than good (AFAICT they cause no good at all really). So this week I will publish a new patch version so this issue likely will go away soon for you. That doesn't mean other things wont break in the future. node@14.x is not in the node-postgres CI test matrix so that means anything could break on any version going forward.

@brianc When are you planning to get it removed

sometime this week. Node 14 support isn't high priority for me at the moment, but I should have time.
