PostgreSQL Adapter
The PostgreSQL adapter provides integration with PostgreSQL, a powerful, open-source relational database system known for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
Deprecated Feature
@c15t/backend v1 did not deliver the flexibility we wanted and fell short of our standards. It is now deprecated as we work on a full rewrite, with v2 entering canary soon. This does not affect Consent.io deployments, which remain stable.

Using PostgreSQL-Specific Features
Performance Optimization
Best Practices
- Use connection pooling for efficient resource management
- Implement database indexes for frequently queried columns
- Use transactions for operations that must succeed or fail together
- Consider using prepared statements for repetitive queries (handled automatically)
- Leverage PostgreSQL-specific features like JSON/JSONB, array types, and full-text search
- Regularly VACUUM and ANALYZE your database for performance maintenance
- Set appropriate statement timeouts to prevent long-running queries
Monitoring and Management
Limitations
- Requires a running PostgreSQL server
