Fixes for binary protocol array handling (#3494)
* fix(pg-protocol): specify number of result column format codes

Fixes a bug when binary format. We must specify both:

- the number of result column format codes
- the result column format codes

The text format case was working by accident. When using text format, the
intention was to set the format code to 0. Instead, we set the number
of result column format codes was set to 0. This is valid because it indicates
that all result columns should use the default format (text).

When using binary format, the intention was to set the format code to 1.
Instead, we set the number of result column format codes to 1.
Importantly, we never set a result column format code. This caused an
error: 'insufficient data left in message'. 

We now always set the number of result column format codes to '1'. The
value of '1' has special meaning:

> or one, in which case the specified format code is applied to all result columns (if any)

We then set a single column format code based on whether the connection
(or query) is set to binary.


Fixes #3487

* fix(pg): use a Buffer when parsing binary

The call to parseArray was not working as expected because the value was
being sent as a string instead of a Buffer. The binary parsers in
pg-types all assume the incoming value is a Buffer.

node-postgres is free software. If you encounter a bug with the library please open an issue on the GitHub repo. If you have questions unanswered by the documentation please open an issue pointing out how the documentation was unclear & I will do my best to make it better!

When you open an issue please provide:

  • version of Node
  • version of Postgres
  • smallest possible snippet of code to reproduce the problem

You can also follow me @briancarlson if that's your thing. I try to always announce noteworthy changes & developments with node-postgres on Twitter.

Contributing

❤️ contributions!

I will happily accept your pull request if it:

  • has tests
  • looks reasonable
  • does not break backwards compatibility

If your change involves breaking backwards compatibility please please point that out in the pull request & we can discuss & plan when and how to release it and what type of documentation or communication it will require.

Setting up for local development

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Ensure you have installed libpq-dev in your system.
  3. From your workspace root run yarn and then yarn lerna bootstrap
  4. Ensure you have a PostgreSQL instance running with SSL enabled and an empty database for tests
  5. Ensure you have the proper environment variables configured for connecting to the instance
  6. Run yarn test to run all the tests
