I am trying to connect to my Heroku PostgreSQL DB and I keep getting an SSL error. Does anyone have an idea on how to enable SSL in the connection string?

postgres://user:pass@host:port/database;

Been looking for it everywhere but it does not seem to be a very popular topic. By the way, I am running Nodejs and the node-pg module with its connection-pooled method:

pg.connect(connString, function(err, client, done) { /// Should work. });

Comments are much appreciated.

Add ssl=true as a URL query parameter as in postgres://user:pass@host:port/database?ssl=true. – Milen A. Radev Mar 10 '14 at 15:15

You can achieve this like this:

postgres://user:pass@host:port/database?ssl=true

You also can use this code below when create a new Client from node-postgres:

var pg = require("pg");

var client = new pg.Client({
  user: "yourUser",
  password: "yourPass",
  database: "yourDatabase",
  port: 5432,
  host: "host.com",
  ssl: true
});

client.connect();

var query = client.query('CREATE TABLE people(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100) not null)');

query.on('row', function(row) {
  console.log(row.name);
});

query.on('end', client.end.bind(client));

Hope this helps!
