pg_service.conf: the spell your team forgot to learn (opens in new tab)

I’ll be honest with you. I’m old school. My IDE is vim. My PostgreSQL client is psql. I’ve been using it for almost 20 years and I still think it’s the best PostgreSQL client out there. I might be biased. When I joined a new team recently, I noticed something: nobody was using psql. Everyone was connecting through their IDE. Which, fair enough, IDEs have saved connection profiles. You click, you’re in.
