About This Application

This application uses PostgreSQL as its database and Next.js API routes to handle data operations, making it a full-fledged CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application.

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system. It has a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance. In this application, PostgreSQL is used to store and manage all the data.

Next.js API Routes

Next.js provides a powerful way to create API routes. These routes can be used to handle various data operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting records in the PostgreSQL database. The API routes are defined in the /pages/api directory.

Example API Route

Here is an example of a simple API route to fetch all records from a PostgreSQL database:

// pages/api/records.js
import { Pool } from 'pg';

const pool = new Pool({
  user: 'yourusername',
  host: 'localhost',
  database: 'yourdatabase',
  password: 'yourpassword',
  port: 5432,
});

export default async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const result = await pool.query('SELECT * FROM records');
    res.status(200).json(result.rows);
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal Server Error' });
  }
};

This route connects to the PostgreSQL database, fetches all records from the records table, and returns them as a JSON response.

CRUD Operations

The application supports the following CRUD operations:

• Create: Add new records to the database.
• Read: Fetch and display records from the database.
• Update: Modify existing records in the database.
• Delete: Remove records from the database.

Each of these operations is handled by a corresponding API route in the /pages/api directory.
