Overview

******************************************************************

The class to access PostgreSQL RDBMS, based on the libpq interface,
provides convenient OO methods to interact with PostgreSQL.

For example, to send query to the database on the localhost:
   require 'pg'
   conn = PGconn.open(:dbname => 'test')
   res = conn.exec('SELECT $1 AS a, $2 AS b, $3 AS c',[1, 2, nil])
   # Equivalent to:
   #  res  = conn.exec('SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b, NULL AS c')

See the PGresult class for information on working with the results of a query.

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

PGconn.new -> PGconn
PGconn.new(connection_hash) -> PGconn
PGconn.new(connection_string) -> PGconn
PGconn.new(host, port, options, tty, dbname, user, password) ->  PGconn

Create a connection to the specified server.

host

server hostname

hostaddr

server address (avoids hostname lookup, overrides host)

port

server port number

dbname

connecting database name

user

login user name

password

login password

connect_timeout

maximum time to wait for connection to succeed

options

backend options

tty

(ignored in newer versions of PostgreSQL)

sslmode

(disable|allow|prefer|require)

krbsrvname

kerberos service name

gsslib

GSS library to use for GSSAPI authentication

service

service name to use for additional parameters

Examples:

# Connect using all defaults
PGconn.connect

# As a Hash
PGconn.connect( :dbname => 'test', :port => 5432 )

# As a String
PGconn.connect( "dbname=test port=5432" )

# As an Array
PGconn.connect( nil, 5432, nil, nil, 'test', nil, nil )

If the Ruby default internal encoding is set (i.e., Encoding.default_internal != nil), the connection will have its client_encoding set accordingly.

Raises a PGError if the connection fails.

.connect_start(connection_hash) ⇒ PGconn .connect_start(connection_string) ⇒ PGconn .connect_start(host, port, options, tty, dbname, login, password) ⇒ PGconn

This is an asynchronous version of PGconn.connect().

Use PGconn#connect_poll to poll the status of the connection.

NOTE: this does not set the connection’s client_encoding for you if Encoding.default_internal is set. To set it after the connection is established, call PGconn#internal_encoding=. You can also set it automatically by setting ENV, or include the ‘options’ connection parameter.

  • .connect_start(connection_hash) ⇒ PGconn

    Returns:

  • .connect_start(connection_string) ⇒ PGconn

    Returns:

.escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String

Connection instance method for versions of 8.1 and higher of libpq uses PQescapeByteaConn, which is safer. Avoid calling as a class method, the class method uses the deprecated PQescapeBytea() API function.

Use the instance method version of this function, it is safer than the class method.

Escapes binary data for use within an SQL command with the type bytea.

Certain byte values must be escaped (but all byte values may be escaped) when used as part of a bytea literal in an SQL statement. In general, to escape a byte, it is converted into the three digit octal number equal to the octet value, and preceded by two backslashes. The single quote (‘) and backslash () characters have special alternative escape sequences. #escape_bytea performs this operation, escaping only the minimally required bytes.

Consider using exec_params, which avoids the need for passing values inside of SQL commands.

Returns:

  • (String)

}

.escape_string(str) ⇒ String

Connection instance method for versions of 8.1 and higher of libpq uses PQescapeStringConn, which is safer. Avoid calling as a class method, the class method uses the deprecated PQescapeString() API function.

Returns a SQL-safe version of the String str. This is the preferred way to make strings safe for inclusion in SQL queries.

Consider using exec_params, which avoids the need for passing values inside of SQL commands.

Encoding of escaped string will be equal to client encoding of connection.

.quote_ident(str) ⇒ String .quote_ident(str) ⇒ String

Returns a string that is safe for inclusion in a SQL query as an identifier. Note: this is not a quote function for values, but for identifiers.

For example, in a typical SQL query: SELECT FOO FROM MYTABLE The identifier FOO is folded to lower case, so it actually means foo. If you really want to access the case-sensitive field name FOO, use this function like PGconn.quote_ident('FOO'), which will return "FOO" (with double-quotes). PostgreSQL will see the double-quotes, and it will not fold to lower case.

Similarly, this function also protects against special characters, and other things that might allow SQL injection if the identifier comes from an untrusted source.

  • .quote_ident(str) ⇒ String

    Returns:

    • (String)

.unescape_bytea(string) ⇒ Object

Converts an escaped string representation of binary data into binary data — the reverse of #escape_bytea. This is needed when retrieving bytea data in text format, but not when retrieving it in binary format.

Instance Method Details

#async_exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) ⇒ PGresult #async_exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) {|pg_result| ... } ⇒ Object Also known as: async_query

This function has the same behavior as PGconn#exec, except that it’s implemented using asynchronous command processing and ruby’s rb_thread_select in order to allow other threads to process while waiting for the server to complete the request.

Overloads:

  • #async_exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) ⇒ PGresult

    Returns:

  • #async_exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) {|pg_result| ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

#escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String

Connection instance method for versions of 8.1 and higher of libpq uses PQescapeByteaConn, which is safer. Avoid calling as a class method, the class method uses the deprecated PQescapeBytea() API function.

Use the instance method version of this function, it is safer than the class method.

Escapes binary data for use within an SQL command with the type bytea.

Certain byte values must be escaped (but all byte values may be escaped) when used as part of a bytea literal in an SQL statement. In general, to escape a byte, it is converted into the three digit octal number equal to the octet value, and preceded by two backslashes. The single quote (‘) and backslash () characters have special alternative escape sequences. #escape_bytea performs this operation, escaping only the minimally required bytes.

Consider using exec_params, which avoids the need for passing values inside of SQL commands.

#exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) ⇒ PGresult #exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) {|pg_result| ... } ⇒ Object Also known as: query

Sends SQL query request specified by sql to PostgreSQL. Returns a PGresult instance on success. On failure, it raises a PGError exception.

params is an optional array of the bind parameters for the SQL query. Each element of the params array may be either:

a hash of the form:
  {:value  => String (value of bind parameter)
   :type   => Fixnum (oid of type of bind parameter)
   :format => Fixnum (0 for text, 1 for binary)
  }
or, it may be a String. If it is a string, that is equivalent to the hash:
  { :value => <string value>, :type => 0, :format => 0 }

PostgreSQL bind parameters are represented as $1, $1, $2, etc., inside the SQL query. The 0th element of the params array is bound to $1, the 1st element is bound to $2, etc. nil is treated as NULL.

If the types are not specified, they will be inferred by PostgreSQL. Instead of specifying type oids, it’s recommended to simply add explicit casts in the query to ensure that the right type is used.

For example: “SELECT $1::int”

The optional result_format should be 0 for text results, 1 for binary.

If the optional code block is given, it will be passed result as an argument, and the PGresult object will automatically be cleared when the block terminates. In this instance, conn.exec returns the value of the block.

Overloads:

  • #exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) ⇒ PGresult

    Returns:

  • #exec(sql[, params, result_format ]) {|pg_result| ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

    • (pg_result)

If the types are not specified, they will be inferred by PostgreSQL. Instead of specifying type oids, it’s recommended to simply add explicit casts in the query to ensure that the right type is used.

For example: “SELECT $1::int”

PostgreSQL bind parameters are represented as $1, $1, $2, etc., inside the SQL query.

#quote_ident(str) ⇒ String #quote_ident(str) ⇒ String

Returns a string that is safe for inclusion in a SQL query as an identifier. Note: this is not a quote function for values, but for identifiers.

For example, in a typical SQL query: SELECT FOO FROM MYTABLE The identifier FOO is folded to lower case, so it actually means foo. If you really want to access the case-sensitive field name FOO, use this function like PGconn.quote_ident('FOO'), which will return "FOO" (with double-quotes). PostgreSQL will see the double-quotes, and it will not fold to lower case.

Similarly, this function also protects against special characters, and other things that might allow SQL injection if the identifier comes from an untrusted source.

Overloads:

  • #quote_ident(str) ⇒ String

    Returns:

    • (String)
  • #quote_ident(str) ⇒ String

    Returns:

    • (String)

#send_query(sql[, params, result_format ]) ⇒ nil

Sends SQL query request specified by sql to PostgreSQL for asynchronous processing, and immediately returns. On failure, it raises a PGError exception.

params is an optional array of the bind parameters for the SQL query. Each element of the params array may be either:

a hash of the form:
  {:value  => String (value of bind parameter)
   :type   => Fixnum (oid of type of bind parameter)
   :format => Fixnum (0 for text, 1 for binary)
  }
or, it may be a String. If it is a string, that is equivalent to the hash:
  { :value => <string value>, :type => 0, :format => 0 }

PostgreSQL bind parameters are represented as $1, $1, $2, etc., inside the SQL query. The 0th element of the params array is bound to $1, the 1st element is bound to $2, etc. nil is treated as NULL.

If the types are not specified, they will be inferred by PostgreSQL. Instead of specifying type oids, it’s recommended to simply add explicit casts in the query to ensure that the right type is used.

For example: “SELECT $1::int”

The optional result_format should be 0 for text results, 1 for binary.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#send_query_prepared(statement_name[, params, result_format ]) ⇒ Object #-Object

Execute prepared named statement specified by statement_name asynchronously, and returns immediately. On failure, it raises a PGError exception.

params is an array of the optional bind parameters for the SQL query. Each element of the params array may be either:

a hash of the form:
  {:value  => String (value of bind parameter)
   :format => Fixnum (0 for text, 1 for binary)
  }
or, it may be a String. If it is a string, that is equivalent to the hash:
  { :value => <string value>, :format => 0 }

PostgreSQL bind parameters are represented as $1, $1, $2, etc., inside the SQL query. The 0th element of the params array is bound to $1, the 1st element is bound to $2, etc. nil is treated as NULL.

The optional result_format should be 0 for text results, 1 for binary.

#server_versionInteger

The number is formed by converting the major, minor, and revision numbers into two-decimal-digit numbers and appending them together. For example, version 7.4.2 will be returned as 70402, and version 8.1 will be returned as 80100 (leading zeroes are not shown). Zero is returned if the connection is bad.

Returns:

  • (Integer)

#set_notice_processor {|message| ... } ⇒ Proc

Notice and warning messages generated by the server are not returned by the query execution functions, since they do not imply failure of the query. Instead they are passed to a notice handling function, and execution continues normally after the handler returns. The default notice handling function prints the message on stderr, but the application can override this behavior by supplying its own handling function.

This function takes a new block to act as the handler, which should accept a single parameter that will be a PGresult object, and returns the Proc object previously set, or nil if it was previously the default.

If you pass no arguments, it will reset the handler to the default.

Yields:

  • (message)

Returns:

#wait_for_notify([ timeout ]) ⇒ String #wait_for_notify([ timeout ]) {|event, pid| ... } ⇒ Object #wait_for_notify([ timeout ]) ⇒ Object Also known as: notifies_wait

Blocks while waiting for notification(s), or until the optional timeout is reached, whichever comes first. timeout is measured in seconds and can be fractional.

Returns nil if timeout is reached, the name of the NOTIFY event otherwise. If used in block form, passes the name of the NOTIFY event and the generating pid into the block.

Under PostgreSQL 9.0 and later, if the notification is sent with the optional payload string, it will be given to the block as the third argument.

Overloads:

  • #wait_for_notify([ timeout ]) ⇒ String

    Returns:

    • (String)
  • #wait_for_notify([ timeout ]) {|event, pid| ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

    • (event, pid)
