sp_get_postgres_connection error

[harryahlas]

I am at chapter 5.3 in the book and ran into an error when running this code:

con

Error: Error in sp_get_postgres_connection(host = "localhost", port = 5439, user = "postgres", : Database is not ready - reason: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5439? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5439?

I am on Windows 10. Postgresql was installed on my machine prior to installing docker. I was able to install docker successfully and run sp_make_simple_pg("cattle"). I stopped postgres and tried restarting but still got this error. Please advise, thank you.

Have you re-installed sqlpetr? There was an update to move the port to 5439.

[znmeb]

I'm going to look at modifying the container start functions so they wait till PostgreSQL is running.

[harryahlas]

I tried reinstalling sqlpetr and got the same error. Also please note when I run sp_docker_containers_tibble() I get the following error. Not sure if it helps.

@harryahlas What does docker ps -a return at a PowerShell command line?

[harryahlas]

cattle should be on port 5439, not port 5432. It should look like this after the sp_make_simple_pg("cattle") :

$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                              NAMES

[znmeb@AlgoCompSynth sql-pet]$

Try this in the R console:

remotes::install_github("smithjd/sqlpetr", ref = "wait-for-postgresql", force = TRUE)

Then try the code again.

[harryahlas]

After running the code above I now get this error, before I even get to the sp_get_postgres_connection error: >sp_make_simple_pg("cattle")

Error in sp_get_postgres_connection(user = "postgres", password = postgres_password, : Database is not ready - reason: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5439? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5439?

@harryahlas I'll have to test this on Windows tomorrow - I can't reproduce it on Linux.

[znmeb]

I can't reproduce it on Windows either. Here's my test procedure:

1. Install the latest sqlpetr.
2. Clone the sql-pet repository - git clone https://github.com/smithjd/sql-pet.git. If you already have it, check out the master branch and do git pull.
3. Remove any existing PostgreSQL containers. If you have a PostgreSQL container from work that you can't recreate / reinstall, stop. You won't be able to proceed unless you remove it.
4. Open the sql-pet project in RStudio and source the file build-book.R. This takes a fair amount of time; there are two images that need to get pulled / built and there are a number of chapters.

We have code to remove containers we create, but for safety reasons we don't remove any containers we didn't create. I can add a test to the package for an existing container and offer to remove it.

[harryahlas]

On #3 above, do you mean remove any existing PostgreSQL containers from Docker?

I am brand new to Docker. I installed it per the instructions so I did not have any existing PostgreSQL containers. I did have PostgreSQL already installed on my machine, but I stopped it prior to running Docker.

[znmeb]

If you stopped the host PostgreSQL and have no other PostgreSQL containers everything should work.
