this.lib.Client is not a constructor when using pg-native

[dberardo-com]

what am i trying to achieve? --> connecting to an older version of postgres (< 9)

which version of sequelize am i using ? --> 6.32

by looking at: https://sequelize.org/releases/#postgresql-support-table i understand pg-native should be the way to go.

so i am initializing sequelize with:

options.dialectModule = require("pg-native")

ref (https://sequelize.org/api/v6/class/src/sequelize.js~sequelize)

but this leads to this error:

this.lib.Client is not a constructor

[dberardo-com]

the error log seems to have changed:

"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'on')"

what i did is using this option:

"require('pg').native"

ref: brianc/node-pg-native#119

Have you tried the following?

new Sequelize({
  dialect: 'postgres',
  native: true,
})

We use pg.native instead of pg automatically if that option is provided: https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize

Turning this into a documentation issue as I assume that's what went wrong
