Fix https://github.com/porsager/postgres/issues/1143

[sep2]

Omit will not work, a common interface ISql for Sql and TransactionSql is introduced.

microsoft/TypeScript#41362

[porsager]

Won't that include all properties that aren't valid for TransactionSql ? I think the proper way is to make an explicit definition of TransactionSql instead of inherit. Perhaps better to use Type instead of Interface.

[sep2]

Only actual properties are included in the interfaces. Properties not in the runtime trx object are moved to sql only. The super type contains only shared properties that could be found in both runtime objects.

Object.keys(sql) [
  'types',         'typed',
  'unsafe',        'notify',
  'array',         'json',
  'file',          'parameters',
  'largeObject',   'subscribe',
  'CLOSE',         'END',
  'PostgresError', 'options',
  'reserve',       'listen',
  'begin',         'close',
  'end'
]
Object.keys(trx) [
  'types',   'typed',
  'unsafe',  'notify',
  'array',   'json',
  'file',    'savepoint',
  'prepare'
]

type could work but that's potentially a breaking change, with interface the changes are minimized.

I used sql/trx extensively with this PR in my local project, haven't found any type errors so far. Nothing in my project needs to adapt.

It would be good to add a unit test, like what is common in DefinitelyTyped.

[porsager]

To prevent the same hazard as previous PR, can some more people with typescript knowledge approve this?

@porsager I opened the original issue (#1143), and I can confirm that this looks good to me. I've also tested this in my project, and it resolves the issue that I was seeing.

@sep2's line of thinking, of moving all shared properties (sql.types/trx.types, sql.unsafe/trx.unsafe, and so on) AND the call signature (sql()/trx()) to a new shared interface used by both sql and trx is the right approach.

[abrahamguo]

The only nitpick I would have is that since there's already an existing interface called Sql, creating a new interface ISql is a poor name, because it's unclear what the difference is between Sql and ISql.

A more descriptive name might be BaseSql.

I would prefer the type to be unknown instead of any. The rest LGTM

LGTM

[danieltroger]

Please merge this, the library is unusable right now on the latest version. The changes LGTM too.
