Close or destroy connection

[GerardKetuma]

I'm trying to write a Fastify plugin and it has an 'onClose' hook where you do db cleanup before exiting the app. How do I close or destroy the connection pool created from drizzle?

Hi @GerardKetuma!

Drizzle is not doing any connection pool destroy/create actions. You can do all of that in a driver you want to use with Drizzle
So for example node-postgres driver

const pool = new Pool({
  connectionString: 'postgres://user:password@host:port/db',
});
const db = drizzle(pool);
const allUsers = await db.select().from(users);
...
await pool.end() // Here you can use node-pg pool, that was created before db

https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#poolend

So if driver you are using supports connection end then you can do the same as with node-postgres

Thanks, that makes sense now.
