Core Workflows

1. Create PostgreSQL Flexible Server

using Azure.ResourceManager.PostgreSql.FlexibleServers;
using Azure.ResourceManager.PostgreSql.FlexibleServers.Models;

ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
    .GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
    .Result
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerCollection servers = resourceGroup.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServers();

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData data = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
    Sku = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerSku("Standard_D2ds_v4", PostgreSqlFlexibleServerSkuTier.GeneralPurpose),
    AdministratorLogin = "pgadmin",
    AdministratorLoginPassword = "YourSecurePassword123!",
    Version = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerVersion.Ver16,
    Storage = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerStorage
    {
        StorageSizeInGB = 128,
        AutoGrow = StorageAutoGrow.Enabled,
        Tier = PostgreSqlStorageTierName.P30
    },
    Backup = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerBackupProperties
    {
        BackupRetentionDays = 7,
        GeoRedundantBackup = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerGeoRedundantBackupEnum.Disabled
    },
    HighAvailability = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerHighAvailability
    {
        Mode = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerHighAvailabilityMode.ZoneRedundant,
        StandbyAvailabilityZone = "2"
    },
    AvailabilityZone = "1",
    AuthConfig = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerAuthConfig
    {
        ActiveDirectoryAuth = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAuthEnum.Enabled,
        PasswordAuth = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerPasswordAuthEnum.Enabled
    }
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-postgresql-server", data);

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Server created: {server.Data.FullyQualifiedDomainName}");

2. Create Database

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
    .GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-postgresql-server");

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseCollection databases = server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabases();

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData dbData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData
{
    Charset = "UTF8",
    Collation = "en_US.utf8"
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource> operation = await databases
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "myappdb", dbData);

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource database = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Database created: {database.Data.Name}");

3. Configure Firewall Rules

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleCollection firewallRules = server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRules();

// Allow specific IP range
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData ruleData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
    StartIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
    EndIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255")
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleResource> operation = await firewallRules
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "allow-internal", ruleData);

// Allow Azure services
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData azureServicesRule = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
    StartIPAdd
