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.
"""

A connection process name, pid or reference.
A connection reference is used when making multiple requests to the same
connection, see `transaction/3`.

### PUBLIC API ###
@doc """
Start the connection process and connect to postgres.
## Options
* `:hostname` - Server hostname (default: PGHOST env variable, then localhost);
* `:socket_dir` - Connect to Postgres via UNIX sockets in the given directory
(takes precedence over the hostname);
* `:port` - Server port (default: PGPORT env variable, then 5432);
* `:database` - Database (default: PGDATABASE env variable; otherwise required);
* `:username` - Username (default: PGUSER env variable, then USER env var);
* `:password` - User password (default: PGPASSWORD env variable);
* `:parameters` - Keyword list of connection parameters;
* `:timeout` - Socket receive timeout when idle in milliseconds (default:
`#{@timeout}`);
* `:connect_timeout` - Socket connect timeout in milliseconds (defaults to
`:timeout` value);
* `:handshake_timeout` - Connection handshake timeout in milliseconds
(defaults to `:timeout` value);
* `:ssl` - Set to `true` if ssl should be used (default: `false`);
* `:ssl_opts` - A list of ssl options, see ssl docs;
* `:socket_options` - Options to be given to the underlying socket
(applies to both TCP and UNIX sockets);
* `:prepare` - How to prepare queries, either `:named` to use named queries
or `:unnamed` to force unnamed queries (default: `:named`);
* `:transactions` - Set to `:strict` to error on unexpected transaction
state, otherwise set to `naive` (default: `:naive`);
* `:pool` - The pool module to use, see `DBConnection` for pool dependent
options, this option must be included with all requests contacting the pool
if not `DBConnection.Connection` (default: `DBConnection.Connection`);
* `:types` - The types module to use, see `Postgrex.TypeModule`, this
option is only required when using custom encoding or decoding (default:
`Postgrex.DefaultTypes`);
`Postgrex` uses the `DBConnection` framework and supports all `DBConnection`
options like `:idle`, `:after_connect` etc.
See `DBConnection.start_link/2` for more information.
## Examples
iex> {:ok, pid} = Postgrex.start_link(database: "postgres")
{:ok, #PID<0.69.0>}
Run a query after connection has been established:
iex> {:ok, pid} = Postgrex.start_link(after_connect: &Postgrex.query!(&1, "SET TIME ZONE 'UTC';", []))
{:ok, #PID<0.69.0>}
Connect to postgres instance through a unix domain socket
iex> {:ok, pid} = Postgrex.start_link(socket_dir: "/tmp", database: "postgres")
{:ok, #PID<0.69.0>}
## PgBouncer
When using PgBouncer with transaction or statement pooling named prepared
queries can not be used because the bouncer may route requests from
the same postgrex connection to different PostgreSQL backend processes
and discards named queries after the transactions closes.
To force unnamed prepared queries set the `:prepare` option to `:unnamed`.

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

be 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.
This function may still raise an exception if there is an issue with types
(`ArgumentError`), connection (`DBConnection.ConnectionError`), ownership
(`DBConnection.OwnershipError`) or other error (`RuntimeError`).
## Options

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

`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.

Returns a stream for a query on a connection.
Stream consumes memory in chunks of at most `max_rows` rows (see Options).
This is useful for processing _large_ datasets.
A stream must be wrapped in a transaction and may be used as an `Enumerable`
or a `Collectable`.
When used as an `Enumerable` with a `COPY .. TO STDOUT` SQL query no other
queries or streams can be interspersed until the copy has finished. Otherwise
it is possible to intersperse enumerable streams and queries.
When used as a `Collectable` the values are passed as copy data with the
query. No other queries or streams can be interspersed until the copy has
finished. If the query is not copying to the database the copy data will still
be sent but is silently discarded.
### Options
* `:max_rows` - Maximum numbers of rows in a result (default to `#{@max_rows}`)
