This change normalizes Postgres connection URLs that omit the username or hostname so that local development connection strings like postgresql:///mydb behave like libpq/psql and other ORMs. If the DSN omits the userinfo entirely, we default to the OS username; if the hostname is missing, we default to localhost.

  • Normalize missing username to OS user when original DSN did not include @.
  • Normalize missing hostname to localhost.
  • Preserve parsing and validation errors as before.

This fixes issue #8230 where Prisma reported Datasource "db": PostgreSQL database "mydb"... at "undefined:5432" and Postgres received an empty username.

    • URLs with an empty hostname now default to localhost.
    • Invalid URLs or unavailable system user information continue to be handled gracefully.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PostgreSQL URL validation now normalizes URLs with missing usernames or hostnames. It uses the OS username and localhost as defaults, while preserving the original trimmed URL when parsing or username lookup fails.

Changes

PostgreSQL URL normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize missing PostgreSQL URL fields
packages/3-extensions/postgres/src/runtime/binding.ts
validatePostgresUrl now normalizes local URLs. Missing usernames use the OS username, and missing hostnames use localhost. Parse and username lookup failures preserve the original URL.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 55c65

PostgreSQL URLs without userinfo can still fail to receive the local OS username when unrelated URL content contains an at-sign, leaving affected local connection strings inconsistent with the intended default behavior. This is a bounded correctness issue that should be corrected before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Detect @ only in the authority.

trimmed.includes('@') also matches @ in the database path, query, or fragment. For example, postgresql:///mydb?application_name=a@b has no username, but this condition skips the OS-username fallback. Inspect only the authority portion when preserving an explicitly empty username.

Proposed fix
+    const authorityStart = trimmed.indexOf('//') + 2;
+    const authorityTail = trimmed.slice(authorityStart);
+    const authorityEnd = authorityTail.search(/[/?#]/);
+    const authority =
+      authorityEnd === -1 ? authorityTail : authorityTail.slice(0, authorityEnd);
+
-    if (!parsed.username && !trimmed.includes('@')) {
+    if (!parsed.username && !authority.includes('@')) {
