Adds `createDatabase` method to Postgres adapters which can be used
either independently like this:
```ts
payload.db.createDatabase({
name: "some-database",
schemaName: "custom-schema"
})
```
Or
```ts
payload.db.createDatabase()
```
Which creates a database from the current configuration, this is used in
`connect` if `autoDatabaseCreate` is set to `true` (default).
You can disable this behaviour with:
```ts
postgresAdapter({ autoDatabaseCreate: false })
```

Payload Postgres Adapter
Vercel Postgres adapter for Payload.
Installation
npm install @payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres
Usage
Explicit Connection String
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { vercelPostgresAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres'
export default buildConfig({
db: vercelPostgresAdapter({
pool: {
connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URI,
},
}),
// ...rest of config
})
Automatic Connection String Detection
Have Vercel automatically detect from environment variable (typically process.env.POSTGRES_URL)
export default buildConfig({
db: postgresAdapter(),
// ...rest of config
})
More detailed usage can be found in the Payload Docs.
