Unable to connect to the database - NEST.JS and TypeORM


When I was facing this issue in my Nestjs and Typeorm project, my issue was my database wasn't actually created in my postgres, so I needed to create that. Note that my OS was Linux, I followed these steps for that.

  • sudo su - postgres
  • psql to enter into postgres cli commands
  • CREATE DATABASE databaseName;

Note the semicolon in the end of postgres command, these are mandatory in syntax
