At first glance, it looks like string operation, but it is one type of string parsing which we can do using ts_debug.

In this post, I am sharing a small demonstration on how to parse the URL in PostgreSQL.

Recently, I was working on python project where I needed URL parsing for Amazon S3 file web address.
At the same time, one of the database developers also needed URL parsing in PostgreSQL.

So sharing a small example on this which I studied from the official page of PostgreSQL.

Database Developer can use ts_debug for URL Parsing. In the result, we can get protocol, URL, host, url_path.

    ,description
    ,token 
FROM ts_debug('https://www.dbrnd.com/2017/12/postgresql-log-the-drop-table-statement/');

Result:
