Repository files navigation

postgresqlfs is a FUSE driver to access PostgreSQL databases as a filesystem. It exposes the object structure of a PostgreSQL databaseinstance as directories and files that you can operate on using filesystem tools.

The idea is that you can use this together with Midnight Commander tobrowse and edit a database in text mode in situations where psql wouldbe to cumbersome but pgAdmin or phpPgAdmin are not available.

Usepostgresqlfs --help to get usage information. Usually, it is just

$ postgresqlfs mountpoint

to mount, and

$ fusermount -u mountpoint

to unmount.

You also need access to the/dev/fuse device, which may be tied tosome group membership on your operating system.
