namespace: Radius.Data types: postgreSqlDatabases: description: | The Radius.Data/postgreSQLDatabases Resource Type deploys a PostgresSQL database. To deploy a new PostgresSQL database, add the postgreSQLDatabases resource to the application definition Bicep file. ``` extension radius param environment string resource database 'Radius.Data/postgreSqlDatabases@2025-08-01-preview' = { name: 'database' properties: { application: myApplication.id environment: environment } } ``` To connect your container to the database, create a connection from the Container resource to the database as shown below. ``` resource myApplication 'Applications.Core/Applications@2023-10-01-preview' = { ... } resource frontend 'Applications.Core/containers@2023-10-01-preview' = { name: 'frontend' properties: { application: myApplication.id environment: environment container: { image: 'frontend:1.25' ports: { web: { containerPort: 8080 } } } connections: { postgresql: { source: database.id } } } } ``` The connection automatically injects environment variables into the container for all properties from the database. The environment variables are named `CONNECTION__`. In this example, the connection name is `mysqldb` so the environment variables will be: - CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE - CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME - CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD - CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_HOST - CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_PORT apiVersions: '2025-08-01-preview': schema: type: object properties: environment: type: string description: "(Required) The Radius Environment ID.
