# PostgreSQL Interface
|
|
|
|
ClickHouse supports the PostgreSQL wire protocol, which allows you to use Postgres clients to connect to ClickHouse. In a sense, ClickHouse can pretend to be a PostgreSQL instance - allowing you to connect a PostgreSQL client application to ClickHouse that is not already directly supported by ClickHouse (for example, Amazon Redshift).
|
|
|
|
To enable the PostgreSQL wire protocol, add the [postgresql_port](../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-postgresql_port) setting to your server's configuration file. For example, you could define the port in a new XML file in your `config.d` folder:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<clickhouse>
|
|
<postgresql_port>9005</postgresql_port>
|
|
</clickhouse>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Startup your ClickHouse server and look for a log message similar to the following that mentions **Listening for PostgreSQL compatibility protocol**:
|
|
|
|
```response
|
|
{} <Information> Application: Listening for PostgreSQL compatibility protocol: 127.0.0.1:9005
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Connect psql to ClickHouse
|
|
|
|
The following command demonstrates how to connect the PostgreSQL client `psql` to ClickHouse:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
psql -p [port] -h [hostname] -U [username] [database_name]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
psql -p 9005 -h 127.0.0.1 -U alice default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
The `psql` client requires a login with a password, so you will not be able connect using the `default` user with no password. Either assign a password to the `default` user, or login as a different user.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
The `psql` client prompts for the password:
|
|
|
|
```response
|
|
Password for user alice:
|
|
psql (14.2, server 22.3.1.1)
|
|
WARNING: psql major version 14, server major version 22.
|
|
Some psql features might not work.
|
|
Type "help" for help.
|
|
|
|
default=>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And that's it! You now have a PostgreSQL client connected to ClickHouse, and all commands and queries are executed on ClickHouse.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
The PostgreSQL protocol currently only supports plain-text passwords.

## Using SSL
|
|
|
|
If you have SSL/TLS configured on your ClickHouse instance, then `postgresql_port` will use the same settings (the port is shared for both secure and insecure clients).
|
|
|
|
Each client has their own method of how to connect using SSL. The following command demonstrates how to pass in the certificates and key to securely connect `psql` to ClickHouse:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
psql "port=9005 host=127.0.0.1 user=alice dbname=default sslcert=/path/to/certificate.pem sslkey=/path/to/key.pem sslrootcert=/path/to/rootcert.pem sslmode=verify-ca"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
View the [PostgreSQL docs](https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/ssl-client.html) for more details on their SSL settings.
