Crate opengauss_types

Conversions to and from Postgres types.

This crate is used by the tokio-postgres and postgres crates. You normally don’t need to depend directly on it unless you want to define your own ToSql or FromSql definitions.

Derive

If the derive cargo feature is enabled, you can derive ToSql and FromSql implementations for custom Postgres types. Explicitly, modify your Cargo.toml file to include the following:

[dependencies]
opengauss-types = { version = "0.X.X", features = ["derive"] }

Enums

Postgres enums correspond to C-like enums in Rust:

CREATE TYPE "Mood" AS ENUM (
    'Sad',
    'Ok',
    'Happy'
);

use opengauss_types::{ToSql, FromSql};

#[derive(Debug, ToSql, FromSql)]
enum Mood {
    Sad,
    Ok,
    Happy,
}

Domains

Postgres domains correspond to tuple structs with one member in Rust:

CREATE DOMAIN "SessionId" AS BYTEA CHECK(octet_length(VALUE) = 16);

use opengauss_types::{ToSql, FromSql};

#[derive(Debug, ToSql, FromSql)]
struct SessionId(Vec<u8>);

Composites

Postgres composite types correspond to structs in Rust:

CREATE TYPE "InventoryItem" AS (
    name TEXT,
    supplier_id INT,
    price DOUBLE PRECISION
);

use opengauss_types::{ToSql, FromSql};

#[derive(Debug, ToSql, FromSql)]
struct InventoryItem {
    name: String,
    supplier_id: i32,
    price: Option<f64>,
}

Naming

The derived implementations will enforce exact matches of type, field, and variant names between the Rust and Postgres types. The #[postgres(name = "...")] attribute can be used to adjust the name on a type, variant, or field:

CREATE TYPE mood AS ENUM (
    'sad',
    'ok',
    'happy'
);

use opengauss_types::{ToSql, FromSql};

#[derive(Debug, ToSql, FromSql)]
#[postgres(name = "mood")]
enum Mood {
    #[postgres(name = "sad")]
    Sad,
    #[postgres(name = "ok")]
    Ok,
    #[postgres(name = "happy")]
    Happy,
}

Macros

accepts

Generates a simple implementation of ToSql::accepts which accepts the types passed to it.

to_sql_checked

Structs

Field

Information about a field of a composite type.

PgLsn

Postgres PG_LSN type.

Type

A Postgres type.

WasNull

An error indicating that a NULL Postgres value was passed to a FromSql implementation that does not support NULL values.

WrongType

An error indicating that a conversion was attempted between incompatible Rust and Postgres types.

Enums

Date

A wrapper that can be used to represent infinity with Type::Date types.

IsNull

An enum representing the nullability of a Postgres value.

Kind

Traits

BorrowToSql

A trait used by clients to abstract over &dyn ToSql and T: ToSql.

FromSql

A trait for types that can be created from a Postgres value.
