AsyncPostgresDb now accepts id as the primary identifier, with db_id deprecated. This aligns naming with the broader platform and eliminates parsing edge cases, improving reliability and reducing integration friction.

**Details**

- Use id going forward; db_id remains temporarily supported for backward compatibility
- Update configuration at your next maintenance window to avoid future breakage
- Reduces ambiguity in connection and resource identification

**Who this is for:** Teams using Agno’s async Postgres storage for state, memory, or workflow data.
