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

connection_hash example: PGconn.connect(:dbname=>‘test’, :port=>5432) connection_string example: PGconn.connect(“dbname=test port=5432”) connection_hash example: +PGconn.connect(nil,5432,nil,nil,‘test’,nil,nil)

On failure, it raises a PGError exception.

.escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String .escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String #DEPRECATEDD

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.

Overloads:

  • .escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String

    Returns:

    • (String)
  • .escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String #DEPRECATEDD

    Returns:

    • (String #DEPRECATEDD)

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.

.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:

.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 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.

#block([ timeout ]) ⇒ Boolean

Blocks until the server is no longer busy, or until the optional timeout is reached, whichever comes first. timeout is measured in seconds and can be fractional.

Returns false if timeout is reached, true otherwise.

If true is returned, conn.is_busy will return false and conn.get_result will not block.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#connect_pollFixnum

Returns one of:

  • PGRES_POLLING_READING - wait until the socket is ready to read

  • PGRES_POLLING_WRITING - wait until the socket is ready to write

  • PGRES_POLLING_FAILED - the asynchronous connection has failed

  • PGRES_POLLING_OK - the asynchronous connection is ready

Example:

conn = PGconn.connect_start("dbname=mydatabase")
socket = IO.for_fd(conn.socket)
status = conn.connect_poll
while(status != PGconn::PGRES_POLLING_OK) do
  # do some work while waiting for the connection to complete
  if(status == PGconn::PGRES_POLLING_READING)
    if(not select([socket], [], [], 10.0))
      raise "Asynchronous connection timed out!"
    end
  elsif(status == PGconn::PGRES_POLLING_WRITING)
    if(not select([], [socket], [], 10.0))
      raise "Asynchronous connection timed out!"
    end
  end
  status = conn.connect_poll
end
# now conn.status == CONNECTION_OK, and connection
# is ready.

Returns:

#escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String #escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String #DEPRECATEDD

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.

Overloads:

  • #escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String

    Returns:

    • (String)
  • #escape_bytea(string) ⇒ String #DEPRECATEDD

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

Returns:

#get_last_resultPGresult

This function retrieves all available results on the current connection (from previously issued asynchronous commands like send_query()) and returns the last non-NULL result, or nil if no results are available.

This function is similar to PGconn#get_result except that it is designed to get one and only one result.

Returns:

#prepare(stmt_name, sql[, param_types ]) ⇒ PGresult

Prepares statement sql with name name to be executed later. Returns a PGresult instance on success. On failure, it raises a PGError exception.

param_types is an optional parameter to specify the Oids of the types of the parameters.

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.

#put_copy_data(buffer) ⇒ Boolean

Transmits buffer as copy data to the server. Returns true if the data was sent, false if it was not sent (false is only possible if the connection is in nonblocking mode, and this command would block).

Raises an exception if an error occurs.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#put_copy_end([ error_message ]) ⇒ Boolean

Sends end-of-data indication to the server.

error_message is an optional parameter, and if set, forces the COPY command to fail with the string error_message.

Returns true if the end-of-data was sent, false if it was not sent (false is only possible if the connection is in nonblocking mode, and this command would block).

Returns:

#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_prepare(stmt_name, sql[, param_types ]) ⇒ nil

Prepares statement sql with name name to be executed later. Sends prepare command asynchronously, and returns immediately. On failure, it raises a PGError exception.

param_types is an optional parameter to specify the Oids of the types of the parameters.

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.

Returns:

#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)

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:

  • (Proc)

#setnonblocking(Boolean) ⇒ nil

Sets the nonblocking status of the connection. In the blocking state, calls to PGconn#send_query will block until the message is sent to the server, but will not wait for the query results. In the nonblocking state, calls to PGconn#send_query will return an error if the socket is not ready for writing. Note: This function does not affect PGconn#exec, because that function doesn’t return until the server has processed the query and returned the results. Returns nil.
