port,
dialect: 'postgres',
dialectOptions: {

},
logging: false,
define: {
timestamps: false,
charset: 'utf8'
}
});
sql
.sync({ alter: true })
.catch((err) =>
logger.error(
`[PostgreSQL]: Unable to the sync tables from server;
${err.message}
${err.parent && err.parent.sql ? '; with these SQL Query' : ''}
${err.parent && err.parent.sql ? '\n' : ''}
${(err.parent && err.parent.sql) || ''}`
)
)
.then(() => sql.authenticate())
.then(() =>
logger.info('[PostgreSQL]: Connection has been established successfully.')
)
.catch((err) =>
logger.error(
`[PostgreSQL]: Unable to connect to the database
${err.message}`
)
);
export default sql;
// the file error happening
import DataTypes from 'sequelize';
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
import sequelize from '../connections/postgres.js';
export default sequelize.define(
'Order',
{
id: {
type: DataTypes.UUID,
defaultValue() {
return uuidv4();
},
primaryKey: true
},
seqNo: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
autoIncrement: true
},
