module PG

The top-level PG namespace.

Constants

POSTGRESQL_LIB_PATH: rake-compiler doesn’t use regular “make install”, but uses it’s own install tasks. It therefore doesn’t copy pg/postgresql_lib_path.rb in case of “rake compile”.
VERSION: Library version

Public Class Methods

connect( *args, &block ) click to toggle source

Convenience alias for PG::Connection.new.

# File lib/pg.rb, line 62
def self.connect( *args, &block )
        Connection.new( *args, &block )
end

init_openssl(do_ssl, do_crypto) → nil click to toggle source

Allows applications to select which security libraries to initialize.

If your application initializes libssl and/or libcrypto libraries and libpq is built with SSL support, you should call PG.init_openssl() to tell libpq that the libssl and/or libcrypto libraries have been initialized by your application, so that libpq will not also initialize those libraries.

When do_ssl is true, libpq will initialize the OpenSSL library before first opening a database connection. When do_crypto is true, the libcrypto library will be initialized. By default (if PG.init_openssl() is not called), both libraries are initialized. When SSL support is not compiled in, this function is present but does nothing.

If your application uses and initializes either OpenSSL or its underlying libcrypto library, you must call this function with false for the appropriate parameter(s) before first opening a database connection. Also be sure that you have done that initialization before opening a database connection.

static VALUE
pg_s_init_openssl(VALUE self, VALUE do_ssl, VALUE do_crypto)
{
        UNUSED( self );
        PQinitOpenSSL(pg_to_bool_int(do_ssl), pg_to_bool_int(do_crypto));
        return Qnil;
}

init_ssl(do_ssl) → nil click to toggle source

Allows applications to select which security libraries to initialize.

This function is equivalent to PG.init_openssl(do_ssl, do_ssl) . It is sufficient for applications that initialize both or neither of OpenSSL and libcrypto.

static VALUE
pg_s_init_ssl(VALUE self, VALUE do_ssl)
{
        UNUSED( self );
        PQinitSSL(pg_to_bool_int(do_ssl));
        return Qnil;
}

isthreadsafe → Boolean click to toggle source

is_threadsafe? → Boolean

threadsafe? → Boolean

Returns true if libpq is thread-safe, false otherwise.

static VALUE
pg_s_threadsafe_p(VALUE self)
{
        UNUSED( self );
        return PQisthreadsafe() ? Qtrue : Qfalse;
}

library_version → Integer click to toggle source

Get the version of the libpq library in use. 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.

static VALUE
pg_s_library_version(VALUE self)
{
        UNUSED( self );
        return INT2NUM(PQlibVersion());
}

make_shareable(obj) click to toggle source

# File lib/pg.rb, line 67
def self.make_shareable(obj)
        Ractor.make_shareable(obj)
end

version_string( include_buildnum=nil ) click to toggle source

Get the PG library version.

include_buildnum is no longer used and any value passed will be ignored.

# File lib/pg.rb, line 56
def self.version_string( include_buildnum=nil )
        "%s %s" % [ self.name, VERSION ]
