module Database.PQ
-- | Connection encapsulates a connection to the backend.
data Connection
-- | Makes a new connection to the database server.
--
-- This function opens a new database connection using the parameters
-- taken from the string conninfo. Its nonblocking analogues are
-- connectStart and connectPoll.
--
-- The passed string can be empty to use all default parameters, or it
-- can contain one or more parameter settings separated by whitespace.
-- Each parameter setting is in the form keyword = value. Spaces around
-- the equal sign are optional. To write an empty value or a value
-- containing spaces, surround it with single quotes, e.g., keyword = 'a
-- value'. Single quotes and backslashes within the value must be escaped
-- with a backslash, i.e., ' and \.
connectdb :: ByteString -> IO Connection
-- | Make a connection to the database server in a nonblocking manner.
connectStart :: ByteString -> IO Connection
-- | If connectStart succeeds, the next stage is to poll libpq so
-- that it can proceed with the connection sequence. Use socket to
-- obtain the Fd of the socket underlying the database connection.
-- Loop thus: If connectPoll last returned PollingReading,
-- wait until the socket is ready to read (as indicated by select(),
-- poll(), or similar system function). Then call connectPoll
-- again. Conversely, if connectPoll last returned
-- PollingWriting, wait until the socket is ready to write, then
-- call connectPoll again. If you have yet to call
-- connectPoll, i.e., just after the call to connectStart,
-- behave as if it last returned PollingWriting. Continue this
-- loop until connectPoll returns PollingFailed, indicating
-- the connection procedure has failed, or PollingOk, indicating
-- the connection has been successfully made.
connectPoll :: Connection -> IO PollingStatus
-- | Resets the communication channel to the server.
--
-- This function will close the connection to the server and attempt to
-- reestablish a new connection to the same server, using all the same
-- parameters previously used. This might be useful for error recovery if
-- a working connection is lost.
reset :: Connection -> IO ()
-- | Reset the communication channel to the server, in a nonblocking
-- manner.
resetStart :: Connection -> IO Bool
-- | To initiate a connection reset, call resetStart. If it returns
-- False, the reset has failed. If it returns True, poll
-- the reset using resetPoll in exactly the same way as you would
-- create the connection using connectPoll.
resetPoll :: Connection -> IO PollingStatus
data PollingStatus
PollingFailed :: PollingStatus
PollingReading :: PollingStatus
PollingWriting :: PollingStatus
PollingOk :: PollingStatus
-- | Closes the connection to the server.
--
-- Note that the Connection must not be used again after
-- finish has been called.
finish :: Connection -> IO ()
-- | Returns the database name of the connection.
db :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the user name of the connection.
user :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the password of the connection.
pass :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the server host name of the connection.
host :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the port of the connection.
port :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the command-line options passed in the connection request.
options :: Connection -> IO ByteString
data ConnStatus
-- | The Connection is ready.
ConnectionOk :: ConnStatus
-- | The connection procedure has failed.
ConnectionBad :: ConnStatus
-- | Waiting for connection to be made.
ConnectionStarted :: ConnStatus
-- | Connection OK; waiting to send.
ConnectionMade :: ConnStatus
-- | Waiting for a response from the server.
ConnectionAwaitingResponse :: ConnStatus
-- | Received authentication; waiting for backend start-up to finish.
ConnectionAuthOk :: ConnStatus
-- | Negotiating environment-driven parameter settings.
ConnectionSetEnv :: ConnStatus
-- | Negotiating SSL encryption.
ConnectionSSLStartup :: ConnStatus
-- | Returns the status of the connection.
--
-- The status can be one of a number of values. However, only two of
-- these are seen outside of an asynchronous connection procedure:
-- ConnectionOk and ConnectionBad. A good connection to the
-- database has the status ConnectionOk. A failed connection
-- attempt is signaled by status ConnectionBad. Ordinarily, an OK
-- status will remain so until finish, but a communications
-- failure might result in the status changing to ConnectionBad
-- prematurely. In that case the application could try to recover by
-- calling reset.
--
-- See the entry for connectStart and connectPoll with
-- regards to other status codes that might be seen.
status :: Connection -> IO ConnStatus
data TransactionStatus
-- | currently idle
TransIdle :: TransactionStatus
-- | a command is in progress
TransActive :: TransactionStatus
-- | idle, in a valid transaction block
TransInTrans :: TransactionStatus
-- | idle, in a failed transaction block
TransInError :: TransactionStatus
-- | the connection is bad
TransUnknown :: TransactionStatus
-- | Returns the current in-transaction status of the server.
--
-- TransActive is reported only when a query has been sent to the
-- server and not yet completed.
transactionStatus :: Connection -> IO TransactionStatus
-- | Looks up a current parameter setting of the server.
--
-- Certain parameter values are reported by the server automatically at
-- connection startup or whenever their values change.
-- parameterStatus can be used to interrogate these settings. It
-- returns the current value of a parameter if known, or Nothing
-- if the parameter is not known.
parameterStatus :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe ByteString)
-- | Interrogates the frontend/backend protocol being used.
--
-- Applications might wish to use this to determine whether certain
-- features are supported. Currently, the possible values are 2 (2.0
-- protocol), 3 (3.0 protocol), or zero (connection bad). This will not
-- change after connection startup is complete, but it could
-- theoretically change during a connection reset. The 3.0 protocol will
-- normally be used when communicating with PostgreSQL 7.4 or later
-- servers; pre-7.4 servers support only protocol 2.0. (Protocol 1.0 is
-- obsolete and not supported by libpq.)
protocolVersion :: Connection -> IO Int
-- | Returns an integer representing the backend version.
--
-- Applications might use this to determine the version of the database
-- server they are connected to. The number is formed by converting the
-- major, minor, and revision numbers into two-decimal-digit numbers and
-- appending them together. For example, version 8.1.5 will be returned
-- as 80105, and version 8.2 will be returned as 80200 (leading zeroes
-- are not shown). Zero is returned if the connection is bad.
serverVersion :: Connection -> IO Int
-- | Returns the error message most recently generated by an operation on
-- the connection.
--
-- Nearly all libpq functions will set a message for errorMessage
-- if they fail. Note that by libpq convention, a nonempty
-- errorMessage result can be multiple lines, and will include a
-- trailing newline. The result string should not be expected to remain
-- the same across operations on the Connection.
errorMessage :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Obtains the file descriptor number of the connection socket to the
-- server. (This will not change during normal operation, but could
-- change during connection setup or reset.)
socket :: Connection -> IO (Maybe Fd)
-- | Returns the process CPid of the backend server process handling
-- this connection.
--
-- The backend PID is useful for debugging purposes and for comparison to
-- NOTIFY messages (which include the PID of the notifying backend
-- process). Note that the PID belongs to a process executing on the
-- database server host, not the local host!
backendPID :: Connection -> IO CPid
-- | Returns True if the connection authentication method required a
-- password, but none was available. Returns False if not.
--
-- This function can be applied after a failed connection attempt to
-- decide whether to prompt the user for a password.
connectionNeedsPassword :: Connection -> IO Bool
-- | Returns True if the connection authentication method used a
-- password. Returns False if not.
--
-- This function can be applied after either a failed or successful
-- connection attempt to detect whether the server demanded a password.
connectionUsedPassword :: Connection -> IO Bool
-- | Result encapsulates the result of a query (or more precisely,
-- of a single SQL command --- a query string given to sendQuery
-- can contain multiple commands and thus return multiple instances of
-- Result.
data Result
-- | Submits a command to the server and waits for the result.
--
-- Returns a Result or possibly Nothing. A Result
-- will generally be returned except in out-of-memory conditions or
-- serious errors such as inability to send the command to the server. If
-- a Nothing is returned, it should be treated like a
-- FatalError result. Use errorMessage to get more
-- information about such errors.
--
-- It is allowed to include multiple SQL commands (separated by
-- semicolons) in the command string. Multiple queries sent in a single
-- exec call are processed in a single transaction, unless there
-- are explicit BEGIN/COMMIT commands included in the query string to
-- divide it into multiple transactions. Note however that the returned
-- Result structure describes only the result of the last command
-- executed from the string. Should one of the commands fail, processing
-- of the string stops with it and the returned Result describes
-- the error condition.
exec :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe Result)
data Format
Text :: Format
Binary :: Format
type Oid = CUInt
-- | Submits a command to the server and waits for the result, with the
-- ability to pass parameters separately from the SQL command text.
--
-- execParams is like exec, but offers additional
-- functionality: parameter values can be specified separately from the
-- command string proper, and query results can be requested in either
-- text or binary format. execParams is supported only in protocol
-- 3.0 and later connections; it will fail when using protocol 2.0.
--
-- The primary advantage of execParams over exec is that
-- parameter values can be separated from the command string, thus
-- avoiding the need for tedious and error-prone quoting and escaping.
--
-- Unlike exec, execParams allows at most one SQL command
-- in the given string. (There can be semicolons in it, but not more than
-- one nonempty command.) This is a limitation of the underlying
-- protocol, but has some usefulness as an extra defense against
-- SQL-injection attacks.
--
-- Tip: Specifying parameter types via OIDs is tedious, particularly if
-- you prefer not to hard-wire particular OID values into your program.
-- However, you can avoid doing so even in cases where the server by
-- itself cannot determine the type of the parameter, or chooses a
-- different type than you want. In the SQL command text, attach an
-- explicit cast to the parameter symbol to show what data type you will
-- send. For example: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE x = $1::bigint; This
-- forces parameter $1 to be treated as bigint, whereas by default it
-- would be assigned the same type as x. Forcing the parameter type
-- decision, either this way or by specifying a numeric type OID, is
-- strongly recommended when sending parameter values in binary format,
-- because binary format has less redundancy than text format and so
-- there is less chance that the server will detect a type mismatch
-- mistake for you.
execParams :: Connection -> ByteString -> [Maybe (Oid, ByteString, Format)] -> Format -> IO (Maybe Result)
-- | Submits a request to create a prepared statement with the given
-- parameters, and waits for completion.
--
-- prepare creates a prepared statement for later execution with
-- execPrepared. This feature allows commands that will be used
-- repeatedly to be parsed and planned just once, rather than each time
-- they are executed. prepare is supported only in protocol 3.0
-- and later connections; it will fail when using protocol 2.0.
--
-- The function creates a prepared statement named stmtName from the
-- query string, which must contain a single SQL command. stmtName can be
-- "" to create an unnamed statement, in which case any pre-existing
-- unnamed statement is automatically replaced; otherwise it is an error
-- if the statement name is already defined in the current session. If
-- any parameters are used, they are referred to in the query as $1, $2,
-- etc. paramTypes specifies, by Oid, the data types to be
-- assigned to the parameter symbols. If paramTypes is Nothing, or
-- any particular element in the array is zero, the server assigns a data
-- type to the parameter symbol in the same way it would do for an
-- untyped literal string. Also, the query can use parameter symbols with
-- numbers higher than the length of paramTypes; data types will be
-- inferred for these symbols as well. (See describePrepared for a
-- means to find out what data types were inferred.)
--
-- As with exec, the result is normally a Result whose
-- contents indicate server-side success or failure. A Nothing
-- result indicates out-of-memory or inability to send the command at
-- all. Use errorMessage to get more information about such
-- errors.
--
-- Prepared statements for use with execPrepared can also be
-- created by executing SQL PREPARE statements. (But prepare is
-- more flexible since it does not require parameter types to be
-- pre-specified.) Also, although there is no libpq function for deleting
-- a prepared statement, the SQL DEALLOCATE statement can be used for
-- that purpose.
prepare :: Connection -> ByteString -> ByteString -> Maybe [Oid] -> IO (Maybe Result)
-- | Sends a request to execute a prepared statement with given parameters,
-- and waits for the result.
--
-- execPrepared is like execParams, but the command to be
-- executed is specified by naming a previously-prepared statement,
-- instead of giving a query string. This feature allows commands that
-- will be used repeatedly to be parsed and planned just once, rather
-- than each time they are executed. The statement must have been
-- prepared previously in the current session. execPrepared is
-- supported only in protocol 3.0 and later connections; it will fail
-- when using protocol 2.0.
--
-- The parameters are identical to execParams, except that the
-- name of a prepared statement is given instead of a query string, and
-- the paramTypes parameter is not present (it is not needed since the
-- prepared statement's parameter types were determined when it was
-- created).
execPrepared :: Connection -> ByteString -> [Maybe (ByteString, Format)] -> Format -> IO (Maybe Result)
-- | Submits a request to obtain information about the specified prepared
-- statement, and waits for completion.
--
-- describePrepared allows an application to obtain information
-- about a previously prepared statement. describePrepared is
-- supported only in protocol 3.0 and later connections; it will fail
-- when using protocol 2.0.
--
-- stmtName can be empty to reference the unnamed statement, otherwise it
-- must be the name of an existing prepared statement. On success, a
-- Result with status CommandOk is returned. The functions
-- nparams and paramtype can be applied to this
-- Result to obtain information about the parameters of the
-- prepared statement, and the functions nfields, fname,
-- ftype, etc provide information about the result columns (if
-- any) of the statement.
describePrepared :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe Result)
-- | Submits a request to obtain information about the specified portal,
-- and waits for completion.
--
-- describePortal allows an application to obtain information
-- about a previously created portal. (libpq does not provide any direct
-- access to portals, but you can use this function to inspect the
-- properties of a cursor created with a DECLARE CURSOR SQL command.)
-- describePortal is supported only in protocol 3.0 and later
-- connections; it will fail when using protocol 2.0.
--
-- portalName can be empty to reference the unnamed portal, otherwise it
-- must be the name of an existing portal. On success, a Result
-- with status CommandOk is returned. The functions
-- nfields, fname, ftype, etc can be applied to the
-- Result to obtain information about the result columns (if any)
-- of the portal.
describePortal :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe Result)
data ExecStatus
-- | The string sent to the server was empty.
EmptyQuery :: ExecStatus
-- | Successful completion of a command returning no data.
CommandOk :: ExecStatus
-- | Successful completion of a command returning data (such as a SELECT or
-- SHOW).
TuplesOk :: ExecStatus
-- | Copy Out (from server) data transfer started.
CopyOut :: ExecStatus
-- | Copy In (to server) data transfer started.
CopyIn :: ExecStatus
-- | The server's response was not understood.
BadResponse :: ExecStatus
-- | A nonfatal error (a notice or warning) occurred.
NonfatalError :: ExecStatus
-- | A fatal error occurred.
FatalError :: ExecStatus
-- | Returns the result status of the command.
resultStatus :: Result -> IO ExecStatus
-- | Converts the ExecStatus returned by resultStatus into a
-- string describing the status code. The caller should not free the
-- result.
resStatus :: ExecStatus -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the error message most recently generated by an operation on
-- the connection.
resultErrorMessage :: Result -> IO ByteString
data FieldCode
-- | The severity; the field contents are ERROR, FATAL, or PANIC (in an
-- error message), or WARNING, NOTICE, DEBUG, INFO, or LOG (in a notice
-- message), or a localized translation of one of these. Always present.
DiagSeverity :: FieldCode
-- | The SQLSTATE code for the error. The SQLSTATE code identifies the type
-- of error that has occurred; it can be used by front-end applications
-- to perform specific operations (such as error handling) in response to
-- a particular database error. For a list of the possible SQLSTATE
-- codes, see Appendix A. This field is not localizable, and is always
-- present.
DiagSqlstate :: FieldCode
-- | The primary human-readable error message (typically one line). Always
-- present.
DiagMessagePrimary :: FieldCode
-- | Detail: an optional secondary error message carrying more detail about
-- the problem. Might run to multiple lines.
DiagMessageDetail :: FieldCode
-- | Hint: an optional suggestion what to do about the problem. This is
-- intended to differ from detail in that it offers advice (potentially
-- inappropriate) rather than hard facts. Might run to multiple lines.
DiagMessageHint :: FieldCode
-- | A string containing a decimal integer indicating an error cursor
-- position as an index into the original statement string. The first
-- character has index 1, and positions are measured in characters not
-- bytes.
DiagStatementPosition :: FieldCode
-- | This is defined the same as the DiagStatementPosition field,
-- but it is used when the cursor position refers to an internally
-- generated command rather than the one submitted by the client. The
-- DiagInternalQuery field will always appear when this field
-- appears.
DiagInternalPosition :: FieldCode
-- | The text of a failed internally-generated command. This could be, for
-- example, a SQL query issued by a PL/pgSQL function.
DiagInternalQuery :: FieldCode
-- | An indication of the context in which the error occurred. Presently
-- this includes a call stack traceback of active procedural language
-- functions and internally-generated queries. The trace is one entry per
-- line, most recent first.
DiagContext :: FieldCode
-- | The file name of the source-code location where the error was
-- reported.
DiagSourceFile :: FieldCode
-- | The line number of the source-code location where the error was
-- reported.
DiagSourceLine :: FieldCode
-- | The name of the source-code function reporting the error.
DiagSourceFunction :: FieldCode
-- | Returns an individual field of an error report.
--
-- fieldcode is an error field identifier; see the symbols listed below.
-- Nothing is returned if the PGresult is not an error or warning
-- result, or does not include the specified field. Field values will
-- normally not include a trailing newline.
--
-- The client is responsible for formatting displayed information to meet
-- its needs; in particular it should break long lines as needed. Newline
-- characters appearing in the error message fields should be treated as
-- paragraph breaks, not line breaks.
--
-- Errors generated internally by libpq will have severity and primary
-- message, but typically no other fields. Errors returned by a
-- pre-3.0-protocol server will include severity and primary message, and
-- sometimes a detail message, but no other fields.
--
-- Note that error fields are only available from Result objects,
-- not Connection objects; there is no errorField function.
resultErrorField :: Result -> FieldCode -> IO (Maybe ByteString)
-- | Returns the number of rows (tuples) in the query result. Because it
-- returns an integer result, large result sets might overflow the return
-- value on 32-bit operating systems.
ntuples :: Result -> IO Int
-- | Returns the number of columns (fields) in each row of the query
-- result.
nfields :: Result -> IO Int
data Row
data Column
toRow :: (Integral a) => a -> Row
toColumn :: (Integral a) => a -> Column
-- | Returns the column name associated with the given Column
-- number. Column numbers start at 0.
fname :: Result -> Column -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the column number associated with the given column name.
fnumber :: Result -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe Int)
-- | Returns the OID of the table from which the given column was fetched.
-- Column numbers start at 0.
ftable :: Result -> Column -> IO Oid
-- | Returns the column number (within its table) of the column making up
-- the specified query result column. Query-result column numbers start
-- at 0, but table columns have nonzero numbers.
ftablecol :: Result -> Column -> IO Column
-- | Returns the Format of the given column. Column numbers start at
-- 0.
fformat :: Result -> Column -> IO Format
-- | Returns the data type associated with the given column number. The
-- Oid returned is the internal OID number of the type. Column
-- numbers start at 0.
--
-- You can query the system table pg_type to obtain the names and
-- properties of the various data types. The OIDs of the built-in data
-- types are defined in the file srcincludecatalog/pg_type.h in
-- the source tree.
ftype :: Result -> Column -> IO Oid
-- | Returns the type modifier of the column associated with the given
-- column number. Column numbers start at 0.
--
-- The interpretation of modifier values is type-specific; they typically
-- indicate precision or size limits. The value -1 is used to indicate
-- no information available. Most data types do not use modifiers,
-- in which case the value is always -1.
fmod :: Result -> Column -> IO Int
-- | Returns the size in bytes of the column associated with the given
-- column number. Column numbers start at 0.
--
-- fsize returns the space allocated for this column in a database
-- row, in other words the size of the server's internal representation
-- of the data type. (Accordingly, it is not really very useful to
-- clients.) A negative value indicates the data type is variable-length.
fsize :: Result -> Column -> IO Int
-- | Returns a single field value of one row of a PGresult. Row and column
-- numbers start at 0.
--
-- For convenience, this binding uses getisnull and
-- getlength to help construct the result.
getvalue :: Result -> Row -> Column -> IO (Maybe ByteString)
-- | Tests a field for a null value. Row and column numbers start at 0.
getisnull :: Result -> Row -> Column -> IO Bool
-- | Returns the actual length of a field value in bytes. Row and column
-- numbers start at 0.
--
-- This is the actual data length for the particular data value, that is,
-- the size of the object pointed to by getvalue. For text data
-- format this is the same as strlen(). For binary format this is
-- essential information. Note that one should not rely on fsize
-- to obtain the actual data length.
getlength :: Result -> Row -> Column -> IO Int
-- | Returns the number of parameters of a prepared statement.
--
-- This function is only useful when inspecting the result of
-- PQdescribePrepared. For other types of queries it will return zero.
nparams :: Result -> IO Int
-- | Returns the data type of the indicated statement parameter. Parameter
-- numbers start at 0.
--
-- This function is only useful when inspecting the result of
-- describePrepared. For other types of queries it will return
-- zero.
paramtype :: Result -> Int -> IO Oid
-- | Prints out all the rows and, optionally, the column names to the
-- specified output stream.
--
-- This function was formerly used by psql to print query results, but
-- this is no longer the case. Note that it assumes all the data is in
-- text format.
print :: Handle -> Result -> PrintOpt -> IO ()
data PrintOpt
PrintOpt :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> ByteString -> ByteString -> ByteString -> [ByteString] -> PrintOpt
-- | print output field headings and row count
poHeader :: PrintOpt -> Bool
-- | fill align the fields
poAlign :: PrintOpt -> Bool
-- | old brain dead format
poStandard :: PrintOpt -> Bool
-- | output HTML tables
poHtml3 :: PrintOpt -> Bool
-- | expand tables
poExpanded :: PrintOpt -> Bool
-- | use pager for output if needed
poPager :: PrintOpt -> Bool
-- | field separator
poFieldSep :: PrintOpt -> ByteString
-- | attributes for HTML table element
poTableOpt :: PrintOpt -> ByteString
-- | HTML table caption
poCaption :: PrintOpt -> ByteString
-- | list of replacement field names
poFieldName :: PrintOpt -> [ByteString]
defaultPrintOpt :: PrintOpt
-- | Returns the command status tag from the SQL command that generated the
-- PGresult.
--
-- Commonly this is just the name of the command, but it might include
-- additional data such as the number of rows processed.
cmdStatus :: Result -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the number of rows affected by the SQL command.
--
-- This function returns a string containing the number of rows affected
-- by the SQL statement that generated the Result. This function
-- can only be used following the execution of a SELECT, CREATE TABLE AS,
-- INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MOVE, FETCH, or COPY statement, or an EXECUTE
-- of a prepared query that contains an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE
-- statement. If the command that generated the Result was
-- anything else, cmdTuples returns an empty string.
cmdTuples :: Result -> IO ByteString
-- | Returns the Oid of the inserted row, if the SQL command was an
-- INSERT that inserted exactly one row into a table that has OIDs, or a
-- EXECUTE of a prepared query containing a suitable INSERT statement.
-- Otherwise, this function returns Nothing. This function will
-- also return Nothing if the table affected by the INSERT
-- statement does not contain OIDs.
oidValue :: Result -> IO (Maybe Oid)
-- | Escapes a string for use within an SQL command. This is useful when
-- inserting data values as literal constants in SQL commands. Certain
-- characters (such as quotes and backslashes) must be escaped to prevent
-- them from being interpreted specially by the SQL parser.
escapeStringConn :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe ByteString)
-- | Escapes binary data for use within an SQL command with the type bytea.
-- As with escapeStringConn, this is only used when inserting data
-- directly into an SQL command string.
escapeByteaConn :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO (Maybe ByteString)
-- | Converts a ByteString representation of binary data into
-- binary data the reverse of PQescapeByteaConn. This is
-- needed when retrieving bytea data in text format, but not when
-- retrieving it in binary format.
--
-- The parameter points to a string such as might be returned by
-- getvalue when applied to a bytea column. unescapeBytea
-- converts this string representation into its binary representation. It
-- returns a ByteString, or Nothing on error.
--
-- This conversion is not exactly the inverse of escapeByteaConn,
-- because the string is not expected to be escaped when received
-- from getvalue. In particular this means there is no need for
-- string quoting considerations, and so no need for a Connection
-- parameter.
unescapeBytea :: ByteString -> IO (Maybe ByteString)
-- | Submits a command to the server without waiting for the result(s).
-- True is returned if the command was successfully dispatched and
-- False if not (in which case, use errorMessage to get
-- more information about the failure).
sendQuery :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO Bool
-- | Submits a command and separate parameters to the server without
-- waiting for the result(s).
sendQueryParams :: Connection -> ByteString -> [Maybe (Oid, ByteString, Format)] -> Format -> IO Bool
-- | Sends a request to create a prepared statement with the given
-- parameters, without waiting for completion.
sendPrepare :: Connection -> ByteString -> ByteString -> Maybe [Oid] -> IO Bool
-- | Sends a request to execute a prepared statement with given parameters,
-- without waiting for the result(s).
sendQueryPrepared :: Connection -> ByteString -> [Maybe (ByteString, Format)] -> Format -> IO Bool
-- | Submits a request to obtain information about the specified prepared
-- statement, without waiting for completion.
--
-- This is an asynchronous version of describePrepared: it returns
-- True if it was able to dispatch the request, and False
-- if not. After a successful call, call getResult to obtain the
-- results. The function's parameters are handled identically to
-- describePrepared. Like describePrepared, it will not
-- work on 2.0-protocol connections.
sendDescribePrepared :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO Bool
-- | Submits a request to obtain information about the specified portal,
-- without waiting for completion.
--
-- This is an asynchronous version of describePortal: it returns
-- True if it was able to dispatch the request, and False
-- if not. After a successful call, call getResult to obtain the
-- results. The function's parameters are handled identically to
-- describePortal. Like describePortal, it will not work on
-- 2.0-protocol connections.
sendDescribePortal :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO Bool
-- | Waits for the next result from a prior sendQuery,
-- sendQueryParams, sendPrepare, or
-- sendQueryPrepared call, and returns it. A null pointer is
-- returned when the command is complete and there will be no more
-- results.
getResult :: Connection -> IO (Maybe Result)
-- | If input is available from the server, consume it.
--
-- consumeInput normally returns True indicating no
-- error, but returns False if there was some kind of trouble
-- (in which case errorMessage can be consulted). Note that the
-- result does not say whether any input data was actually collected.
-- After calling consumeInput, the application can check
-- isBusy and/or notifies to see if their state has
-- changed.
consumeInput :: Connection -> IO Bool
-- | Returns True if a command is busy, that is, getResult would block
-- waiting for input. A False return indicates that getResult can be
-- called with assurance of not blocking.
--
-- isBusy will not itself attempt to read data from the server;
-- therefore consumeInput must be invoked first, or the busy state
-- will never end.
isBusy :: Connection -> IO Bool
-- | Sets the nonblocking status of the connection.
setnonblocking :: Connection -> Bool -> IO Bool
-- | Returns the blocking status of the database connection.
isnonblocking :: Connection -> IO Bool
data FlushStatus
FlushOk :: FlushStatus
FlushFailed :: FlushStatus
FlushWriting :: FlushStatus
-- | Attempts to flush any queued output data to the server. Returns
-- FlushOk if successful (or if the send queue is empty),
-- FlushFailed if it failed for some reason, or
-- FlushWriting if it was unable to send all the data in the send
-- queue yet (this case can only occur if the connection is nonblocking).
flush :: Connection -> IO FlushStatus
-- | Contains the information needed to cancel a command issued through a
-- particular database connection.
data Cancel
-- | Creates a data structure containing the information needed to cancel a
-- command issued through a particular database connection.
--
-- getCancel creates a Cancel object given a
-- Connection. It will return Nothing if the given conn is
-- an invalid connection.
getCancel :: Connection -> IO (Maybe Cancel)
-- | Requests that the server abandon processing of the current command.
--
-- The return value is 'Right ()' if the cancel request was successfully
-- dispatched and if not, 'Left B.ByteString' containing an error message
-- explaining why not.
--
-- Successful dispatch is no guarantee that the request will have any
-- effect, however. If the cancellation is effective, the current command
-- will terminate early and return an error result. If the cancellation
-- fails (say, because the server was already done processing the
-- command), then there will be no visible result at all.
cancel :: Cancel -> IO (Either ByteString ())
data Notify
Notify :: ByteString -> CPid -> ByteString -> Notify
-- | notification channel name
notifyRelname :: Notify -> ByteString
-- | process ID of notifying server process
notifyBePid :: Notify -> CPid
-- | notification payload string
notifyExtra :: Notify -> ByteString
-- | Returns the next notification from a list of unhandled notification
-- messages received from the server. It returns a Nothing if
-- there are no pending notifications. Once a notification is returned
-- from notifies, it is considered handled and will be removed from the
-- list of notifications.
notifies :: Connection -> IO (Maybe Notify)
-- | Returns the client encoding.
clientEncoding :: Connection -> IO ByteString
-- | Sets the client encoding.
setClientEncoding :: Connection -> ByteString -> IO Bool
data Verbosity
ErrorsTerse :: Verbosity
ErrorsDefault :: Verbosity
ErrorsVerbose :: Verbosity
-- | Determines the verbosity of messages returned by errorMessage
-- and resultErrorMessage.
--
-- setErrorVerbosity sets the verbosity mode, returning the
-- connection's previous setting. In ErrorsTerse mode, returned
-- messages include severity, primary text, and position only; this will
-- normally fit on a single line. The default mode produces messages that
-- include the above plus any detail, hint, or context fields (these
-- might span multiple lines). The ErrorsVerbose mode includes all
-- available fields. Changing the verbosity does not affect the messages
-- available from already-existing Result objects, only
-- subsequently-created ones.
setErrorVerbosity :: Connection -> Verbosity -> IO Verbosity
-- | Enables tracing of the client/server communication to a debugging file
-- stream.
--
-- Note: On Windows, if the libpq library and an application are compiled
-- with different flags, this function call will crash the application
-- because the internal representation of the FILE pointers differ.
-- Specifically, multithreaded/single-threaded, releasedebug, and
-- staticdynamic flags should be the same for the library and all
-- applications using that library.
trace :: Connection -> Handle -> IO ()
-- | Disables tracing started by PQtrace.
