Sasha 256949e331 feat(db-postgres, db-vercel-postgres): createDatabase, auto database create if it does not exist (#8655)
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.
