Problems to install on Windows 7

[marcioamr]

I'm having problems to install node-pg-sice on Windows 7.
I tried to install debu@1.0.0 and doesn't work.

***>npm install pg-spice --save
npm ERR! peerinvalid The package debug does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!

I don't have a Windows machine with Node installed on it to test this out. If I had to guess, it seems like some kind of dependency conflict. See if changing the version of the debug package fixes it.

Also, you might want to check out my new Postgres helper package pg-db. Besides named parameters, it adds a whole bunch of other features such as transaction management and event hooks.

Thanks a lot! I'm trying to use your helper package without set up a enviroment variable.
I read the documentation and I couldn't find anything. How can I set up by config?

[...]\node_modules\pg-db\lib\index.js:545
throw new Error('config or process.env.DATABASE_URL is required');

You can specify anything that node-postgres accepts as a connection config (so either a string or a config object). For example you could specify a hard coded string connecting to local host via:

var db = require('pg-db')('postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/test');

It's good idea to not hard code the connection config. That's why the default is to pull it from an environment variable.
