Crate postgres

source ·
Expand description

A synchronous client for the PostgreSQL database.

§Example

use postgres::{Client, NoTls};

let mut client = Client::connect("host=localhost user=postgres", NoTls)?;

client.batch_execute("
    CREATE TABLE person (
        id      SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
        name    TEXT NOT NULL,
        data    BYTEA
    )
")?;

let name = "Ferris";
let data = None::<&[u8]>;
client.execute(
    "INSERT INTO person (name, data) VALUES ($1, $2)",
    &[&name, &data],
)?;

for row in client.query("SELECT id, name, data FROM person", &[])? {
    let id: i32 = row.get(0);
    let name: &str = row.get(1);
    let data: Option<&[u8]> = row.get(2);

    println!("found person: {} {} {:?}", id, name, data);
}

§Implementation

This crate is a lightweight wrapper over tokio-postgres. The postgres::Client is simply a wrapper around a tokio_postgres::Client along side a tokio Runtime. The client simply blocks on the futures provided by the async client.

§SSL/TLS support

TLS support is implemented via external libraries. Client::connect and Config::connect take a TLS implementation as an argument. The NoTls type in this crate can be used when TLS is not required. Otherwise, the postgres-openssl and postgres-native-tls crates provide implementations backed by the openssl and native-tls crates, respectively.

§Features

The following features can be enabled from Cargo.toml:
