Struct diesel::prelude::PgConnection

pub struct PgConnection { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate features postgres and postgres_backend only.

The connection string expected by PgConnection::establish should be a PostgreSQL connection string, as documented at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING

Supported loading model implementations

• DefaultLoadingMode
• PgRowByRowLoadingMode

If you are unsure which loading mode is the correct one for your application, you likely want to use the DefaultLoadingMode as that one offers generally better performance.

Due to the fact that PgConnection supports multiple loading modes it is required to always specify the used loading mode when calling RunQueryDsl::load_iter

DefaultLoadingMode

By using this mode PgConnection defaults to loading all response values at once and only performs deserialization afterward for the DefaultLoadingMode. Generally this mode will be more performant as it.

This loading mode allows users to perform hold more than one iterator at once using the same connection:

use diesel::connection::DefaultLoadingMode;

let iter1 = users::table.load_iter::<(i32, String), DefaultLoadingMode>(connection)?;
let iter2 = users::table.load_iter::<(i32, String), DefaultLoadingMode>(connection)?;

for r in iter1 {
    let (id, name) = r?;
    println!("Id: {} Name: {}", id, name);
}

for r in iter2 {
    let (id, name) = r?;
    println!("Id: {} Name: {}", id, name);
}

PgRowByRowLoadingMode

By using this mode PgConnection defaults to loading each row of the result set sepreatly. This might be desired for huge result sets.

This loading mode prevents creating more than one iterator at once using the same connection. The following code is not allowed:

use diesel::pg::PgRowByRowLoadingMode;

let iter1 = users::table.load_iter::<(i32, String), PgRowByRowLoadingMode>(connection)?;
// creating a second iterator generates an compiler error
let iter2 = users::table.load_iter::<(i32, String), PgRowByRowLoadingMode>(connection)?;

for r in iter1 {
    let (id, name) = r?;
    println!("Id: {} Name: {}", id, name);
}

for r in iter2 {
    let (id, name) = r?;
    println!("Id: {} Name: {}", id, name);
}

Implementations

impl PgConnection

pub fn build_transaction(&mut self) -> TransactionBuilder<'_, Self>

Build a transaction, specifying additional details such as isolation level

See TransactionBuilder for more examples.

conn.build_transaction()
    .read_only()
    .serializable()
    .deferrable()
    .run(|conn| Ok(()))

Trait Implementations

impl Connection for PgConnection

type Backend = Pg

The backend this type connects to

fn establish(database_url: &str) -> ConnectionResult<PgConnection>

Establishes a new connection to the database

fn transaction<T, E, F>(&mut self, f: F) -> Result<T, E>where
    F: FnOnce(&mut Self) -> Result<T, E>,
    E: From<Error>,

Executes the given function inside of a database transaction

fn begin_test_transaction(&mut self) -> QueryResult<()>

Creates a transaction that will never be committed. This is useful for tests. Panics if called while inside of a transaction or if called with a connection containing a broken transaction

fn test_transaction<T, E, F>(&mut self, f: F) -> Twhere
    F: FnOnce(&mut Self) -> Result<T, E>,
    E: Debug,

Executes the given function inside a transaction, but does not commit it. Panics if the given function returns an error.

impl MigrationConnection for PgConnection

fn setup(&mut self) -> QueryResult<usize>

Setup the following table:

impl R2D2Connection for PgConnection

Available on crate feature r2d2 only.

fn ping(&mut self) -> QueryResult<()>

Check if a connection is still valid

fn is_broken(&mut self) -> bool

Checks if the connection is broken and should not be reused

impl SimpleConnection for PgConnection

fn batch_execute(&mut self, query: &str) -> QueryResult<()>

Execute multiple SQL statements within the same string.
