PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL Wire Protocol

The PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol is the low-level message-based protocol used by all client drivers (libpq, JDBC, ODBC, psycopg, pgx, node-postgres, etc.) to communicate with the PostgreSQL server over TCP/IP or Unix sockets. Authentication supports password, SCRAM-SHA-256, MD5, GSSAPI, SSPI, certificate, LDAP, and other pluggable methods.
