defmodule Postgrex do
@moduledoc """
PostgreSQL driver for Elixir.
This module handles the connection to Postgres, providing support
for queries, transactions, connection backoff, logging, pooling and
more.
Note that the notifications API (pub/sub) supported by Postgres is
handled by `Postgrex.Notifications`. Hence, to use this feature,
you need to start a separate (notifications) connection.
"""
alias Postgrex.Query
@typedoc """
A connection process name, pid or reference.
A connection reference is used when making multiple requests to the same
connection, see `transaction/3` and `:after_connect` in `start_link/1`.

Runs an (extended) query and returns the result as `{:ok, %Postgrex.Result{}}`

set in the query as `$1` embedded in the query string. Parameters are given as
a list of elixir values. See the README for information on how Postgrex
encodes and decodes Elixir values by default. See `Postgrex.Result` for the
result data.

* `:pool_timeout` - Time to wait in the queue for the connection
(default: `#{@pool_timeout}`)
* `:queue` - Whether to wait for connection in a queue (default: `true`);

decoding, (default: `fn x -> x end`);

Acquire a lock on a connection and run a series of requests inside a
transaction. The result of the transaction fun is return inside an `:ok`
tuple: `{:ok, result}`.
To use the locked connection call the request with the connection
reference passed as the single argument to the `fun`. If the
connection disconnects all future calls using that connection
reference will fail.
`rollback/2` rolls back the transaction and causes the function to
return `{:error, reason}`.
`transaction/3` can be nested multiple times if the connection
reference is used to start a nested transaction. The top level
transaction function is the actual transaction.

* `:pool_timeout` - Time to wait in the queue for the connection
(default: `#{@pool_timeout}`)
* `:queue` - Whether to wait for connection in a queue (default: `true`);

`start_link/1`, see `DBConnection;
* `:mode` - Set to `:savepoint` to use savepoints instead of an SQL
transaction, otherwise set to `:transaction` (default: `:transaction`);
The `:timeout` is for the duration of the transaction and all nested
transactions and requests. This timeout overrides timeouts set by internal
transactions and requests. The `:pool` and `:mode` will be used for all
requests inside the transaction function.
