pub struct PgConnectOptions { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Options and flags which can be used to configure a PostgreSQL connection.

A value of PgConnectOptions can be parsed from a connection URI, as described by libpq.

The general form for a connection URI is:

postgresql://[user[:password]@][host][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]

Parameters

ParameterDefaultDescription
sslmodepreferDetermines whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated. See PgSslMode.
sslrootcertNoneSets the name of a file containing a list of trusted SSL Certificate Authorities.
statement-cache-capacity100The maximum number of prepared statements stored in the cache. Set to 0 to disable.
hostNonePath to the directory containing a PostgreSQL unix domain socket, which will be used instead of TCP if set.
hostaddrNoneSame as host, but only accepts IP addresses.
application-nameNoneThe name will be displayed in the pg_stat_activity view and included in CSV log entries.
userresult of whoamiPostgreSQL user name to connect as.
passwordNonePassword to be used if the server demands password authentication.
port5432Port number to connect to at the server host, or socket file name extension for Unix-domain connections.
dbnameNoneThe database name.
optionsNoneThe runtime parameters to send to the server at connection start.

The URI scheme designator can be either postgresql:// or postgres://. Each of the URI parts is optional.

postgresql://
postgresql://localhost
postgresql://localhost:5433
postgresql://localhost/mydb
postgresql://user@localhost
postgresql://user:secret@localhost
postgresql://localhost?dbname=mydb&user=postgres&password=postgres

Example

// URI connection string
let conn = PgConnection::connect("postgres://localhost/mydb").await?;

// Manually-constructed options
let conn = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .host("secret-host")
    .port(2525)
    .username("secret-user")
    .password("secret-password")
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::Require)
    .connect().await?;

Implementations

Creates a new, default set of options ready for configuration.

By default, this reads the following environment variables and sets their equivalent options.

  • PGHOST
  • PGPORT
  • PGUSER
  • PGPASSWORD
  • PGDATABASE
  • PGSSLROOTCERT
  • PGSSLMODE
  • PGAPPNAME
Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new();

Sets the name of the host to connect to.

If a host name begins with a slash, it specifies Unix-domain communication rather than TCP/IP communication; the value is the name of the directory in which the socket file is stored.

The default behavior when host is not specified, or is empty, is to connect to a Unix-domain socket

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .host("localhost");

Sets the port to connect to at the server host.

The default port for PostgreSQL is 5432.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .port(5432);

Sets a custom path to a directory containing a unix domain socket, switching the connection method from TCP to the corresponding socket.

By default set to None.

Sets the username to connect as.

Defaults to be the same as the operating system name of the user running the application.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .username("postgres");

Sets the password to use if the server demands password authentication.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .username("root")
    .password("safe-and-secure");

Sets the database name. Defaults to be the same as the user name.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .database("postgres");

Sets whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated with the server.

By default, the SSL mode is Prefer, and the client will first attempt an SSL connection but fallback to a non-SSL connection on failure.

Ignored for Unix domain socket communication.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::Require);

Sets the name of a file containing SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate(s). If the file exists, the server’s certificate will be verified to be signed by one of these authorities.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_root_cert("./ca-certificate.crt");

Sets PEM encoded trusted SSL Certificate Authorities (CA).

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_root_cert_from_pem(vec![]);

Sets the capacity of the connection’s statement cache in a number of stored distinct statements. Caching is handled using LRU, meaning when the amount of queries hits the defined limit, the oldest statement will get dropped.

The default cache capacity is 100 statements.

Sets the application name. Defaults to None

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .application_name("my-app");

Sets or removes the extra_float_digits connection option.

This changes the default precision of floating-point values returned in text mode (when not using prepared statements such as calling methods of Executor directly).

Historically, Postgres would by default round floating-point values to 6 and 15 digits for float4/REAL (f32) and float8/DOUBLE (f64), respectively, which would mean that the returned value may not be exactly the same as its representation in Postgres.

The nominal range for this value is -15 to 3, where negative values for this option cause floating-points to be rounded to that many fewer digits than normal (-1 causes float4 to be rounded to 5 digits instead of six, or 14 instead of 15 for float8), positive values cause Postgres to emit that many extra digits of precision over default (or simply use maximum precision in Postgres 12 and later), and 0 means keep the default behavior (or the “old” behavior described above as of Postgres 12).

SQLx sets this value to 3 by default, which tells Postgres to return floating-point values at their maximum precision in the hope that the parsed value will be identical to its counterpart in Postgres. This is also the default in Postgres 12 and later anyway.

However, older versions of Postgres and alternative implementations that talk the Postgres protocol may not support this option, or the full range of values.

If you get an error like “unknown option extra_float_digits” when connecting, try setting this to None or consult the manual of your database for the allowed range of values.

For more information, see:

Examples

let mut options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // for Redshift and Postgres 10
    .extra_float_digits(2);

let mut options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // don't send the option at all (Postgres 9 and older)
    .extra_float_digits(None);

Set additional startup options for the connection as a list of key-value pairs.

Example
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .options([("geqo", "off"), ("statement_timeout", "5min")]);
