Using Postgres
--------------
Set up client
=============
We need to have installed the postgres python connector ``psycopg2``. In the
virtual env::
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
pip install psycopg2
Synapse config
==============
Add the following line to your config file::
database_config: <db_config_file>
Where ``<db_config_file>`` is the file name that points to a yaml file of the
following form::
name: psycopg2
args:
user: <user>
password: <pass>
database: <db>
host: <host>
cp_min: 5
cp_max: 10
All key, values in ``args`` are passed to the ``psycopg2.connect(..)``
function, except keys beginning with ``cp_``, which are consumed by the twisted
adbapi connection pool.
