Configuration

Options, backend selection, and the capability model.

dbrest reads its configuration once at startup and otherwise stays stateless. The option surface follows PostgREST: the same names and meanings where they carry over, with a few additions for picking a backend and filling gaps on engines that lack engine-side metadata. These pages cover the options, how to choose and connect a backend, and the capability model that says what each engine can do.

Configuration The config file, the environment, and how they combine. Choosing a backend The four-tier capability model, and how to read the matrix. Backend reference Connection strings and current status for each engine.
