How to Run PostgreSQL Procedures with Knex in Node.js

If you're working on a Node.js application that requires database interactions, you may need to execute stored procedures in PostgreSQL. These procedures allow you to encapsulate complex operations within the database itself, making your application more efficient. However, calling these procedures with Knex.js can sometimes lead to hiccups, especially if you run into errors. In this guide, we'll explore how to run PostgreSQL procedures using Knex and troubleshoot common issues you might encounter along the way.

The Problem

You're trying to call a stored procedure called create_schema to create a new schema for a tenant in your PostgreSQL database. To do this, you might have written something like this:

However, upon executing this line, you encounter the following error:

This error indicates that PostgreSQL doesn't recognize the procedure you are trying to call. But don’t worry, there are steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

Solution Steps

1. Use knex.schema.raw()

One common mistake that can lead to this error is using knex.raw() instead of knex.schema.raw() for schema-related operations. To correctly invoke your stored procedure, modify your code as follows:

2. Check Database Connection

Ensure that you are connected to the right database—one that actually contains the stored procedure you're trying to call. If your connection is pointing to a different database that does not have create_schema, you will receive the same error.

Verify Database Name: Double-check the database name in your Knex configuration and ensure it is correct.

List Procedures: You can list the available procedures in your database by executing the following SQL command:

3. Confirm Procedure Exists

Make sure that the procedure is defined correctly in your PostgreSQL database. You can verify this by running the following command directly in your PostgreSQL console:

This will display the details of the procedure, including its parameter types. Consistently having the correct number and types of parameters in your invocation is key.

4. Test the Parameters

If your stored procedure requires certain data types for its parameters, ensure that you are passing those correctly. Always align your datatype expectations accordingly to avoid mismatches.

If you're not sure about the expected types, check the procedure definition.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively call PostgreSQL stored procedures using Knex in Node.js. If errors persist, double-check your database connection, validate the procedure's existence, and ensure you're using the correct method invocation. Stored procedures can greatly enhance the efficiency of your database interactions, and Knex provides a powerful interface to leverage that potential with ease.
