sql_firewall – SQL Firewall Extension for PostgreSQL

In plain words

sql_firewall is a PostgreSQL extension that functions as a SQL firewall for database security. It is designed for developers and database administrators who need to protect PostgreSQL databases from unauthorized or malicious SQL queries. The extension allows users to define and enforce SQL query policies, helping control what statements can be executed against the database.

  PRQL in PostgreSQL2024 · github.com · ▲267

  This extension let's you write PRQL functions in PostgreSQL. When I first saw PRQL on Hacker News a few months ago, I was immediately captivated by the idea, yet equally disappointed that there was no integration for PostgreSQL. Having previous experience with writing PostgreSQL extensions in C, I thought this was a great opportunity to try out the pgrx framework and decided to integrate PRQL with PostgreSQL myself. The maintainers of both PRQL and pgrx were very nice to work with. Thanks guys.

  Pgspot – Find vulnerabilities in Postgres SQL scripts2024 · github.com · ▲13

  Hi HN! My name is Sven, I am an engineer at Timescale and this is my fun side project. The main purpose of pgspot is to check postgres extension sql scripts for vulnerabilities but it can also be used to check functions outside of extension context e.g. security definer functions. I've started working on this after finding vulnerabilities in timescaledb to ensure similar vulnerabilities don't reappear. While working on this i found vulnerabilities in over 30 extensions and some of the findings even lead to postgres upstream changes to reduce attack surface of extension scripts (…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
