# Planning for implementing a postgres repo for pict-rs
FullRepo currently depends on a number of specific repo traits Many of these are simple key -> value
mappings that can be done with columns or tables, but some are more complicated (like background job
processing).
## Technology
I've identified these crates as useful for achieving a reasonable postgres experience
- [diesel-async](https://docs.rs/diesel-async/latest/diesel_async/)
- [refinery](https://docs.rs/refinery/latest/refinery/)
- [deadpool](https://docs.rs/deadpool/latest/deadpool/)
- [tokio-postgres](https://docs.rs/tokio-postgres/latest/tokio_postgres/)
tokio-postgres will actually do the work of talking to postgres in all cases. diesel-async can use
tokio-postgres to execute queries. refinery can use tokio-postgres to run migrations. deadpool can
pool tokio-postgres connections.
I've chosen this stack specifically to avoid depending on `libpq`, the c implementation of a
postgres client. This is not because it's written in C. 99.9% of postgres client libraries use libpq
to great success. It is to keep the build process for pict-rs simple. Sticking with a full stack of
rust means that only a rust compiler is required to build pict-rs.
## Plan
pict-rs isolates different concepts between different "Repo" traits. There's a single top-level
FullRepo that depends on the others to ensure everything gets implemented properly. Since there's
only been one repo implementation so far, it's not optimized for network databases and some things
are less efficient than they could be.
Some of the existing repo methods could be consolidated to better represent the data and operations
that need to be performed. This should happen _before_ impelementing the postgres repo.
