# Description of Changes
As the title says.
Add `--pg-port NUM` to the `start` command
# API and ABI breaking changes
Before this, it was set to `5432` unconditionally.
Docs updated at https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/3302.

# Description of Changes
Closes
[#2686](https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/issues/2686).
Add support for listening using the [PG wire
protocol](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/protocol.html) so `pg`
clients could be used against the database.
# API and ABI breaking changes
The output of `duration` is changed to `rfc3339`, instead of the way is
made with `sats` because is what is done in `pg`, see note below.

~~There is open questions that are in the [ticket
#2686](https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/issues/2686). Also
the crate used here require `RustTls`, so it could be good idea to
decide if~~:
* ~~Rewrite a big chunk of code to use `OpenSSL`~~
* ~~Move to `RustTls`
https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/1700~~
* ~~Pay for the extra compilation cost~~.
I open another port(`5433`) to listen for `pg` connections using `ssl`.
Need to be decided if this is the way or instead try to multi-plex the
current port for both protocols.
# Testing
Only manual testing so far. Solving the above questions allow me to
implement some unit tests. Also, not yet integrated into cloud for the
same reasons.
- [x] Adding some test for the binary encoding of special and primitive
types
- [x] Smoke test using `psql` that connect to the db instance and run
some queries
- [x] Manually inspect using a UI database explorer how infer the types,
some of this tools generate special widgets when displaying `json,
duration, etc`
