- .SH "NAME"
- tdbc::postgres \- TDBC-POSTGRES bridge
- .SH "SYNOPSIS"
- package require \fBtdbc::postgres 1.0\fR
- .sp
- \fBtdbc::postgres::connection create\fR \fIdb\fR ?\fI-option value...\fR?
- .br
- \fBtdbc::postgres::connection new\fR ?\fI-option value...\fR?
- .BE
- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .PP
- The \fBtdbc::postgres\fR driver provides a database interface that conforms
- to Tcl DataBase Connectivity (TDBC) and allows a Tcl script to connect
- to a Postgres database.
- .PP
- Connection to a POSTGRES database is established by invoking
- \fBtdbc::postgres::connection create\fR, passing it the name to give the
- database handle and a set of \fI-option-value\fR pairs. The available
- options are enumerated under CONNECTION OPTIONS below.
- As an alternative, \fBtdbc::postgres::connection new\fR may be used to create
- a database connection with an automatically assigned name. The return value
- from \fBtdbc::postgres::connection new\fR is the name that was chosen for the
- connection handle.
- .PP
- The side effect of \fBtdbc::postgres::connection create\fR is to create a
- new database connection.. See \fBtdbc::connection(n)\fR for the
- details of how to use the connection to manipulate a database.
- .SH "CONNECTION OPTIONS"
- .PP
- The \fBtdbc::postgres::connection create\fR object command supports the
- \fB-encoding\fR, \fB-isolation\fR, \fB-readonly\fR and \fB-timeout\fR
- options common to all TDBC drivers. The \fB-timeout\fR option will
- only affect connection process, once connected this value will be
- ignored and cannot be changed after connecting.
- .PP
- In addition, the following options are recognized (these options must be
- set on the initial creation of the connection; they cannot be changed
- after connecting) :
- .IP "\fB-host\fR \fIhostname\fR"
- Connects to the host specified by \fIhostname\fR. Default is to connect using a local Unix domain socket.
- .IP "\fB-hostaddr\fR \fIaddress\fR"
- Connects to the host specified by given IP \fIaddress\fR. If both \fB-host\fR and \fB-hostaddr\fR are given, the value
- of \fB-host\fR is ignored. Default is to connect using a local Unix domain socket.
- .IP "\fB-port\fR \fInumber\fR"
- Connects to a Postgres server listening on the port specified by \fInumber\fR.
- It is used only when \fIhost\fR or \fIhostaddr\fR is specified.
- .IP "\fB-user\fR \fIname\fR"
- Presents \fIname\fR as the user name to the Postgres server. Default is the
- current user ID.
- .IP "\fB-passwd\fR \fIpassword\fR"
- .IP "\fB-password\fR \fIpassword\fR"
- These two options are synonymous. They present the given \fIpassword\fR as
- the user's password to the Postgres server. Default is not to present a password.
- .IP "\fB-database\fR \fIname\fR"
- .IP "\fB-db\fR \fIname\fR"
- These two options are synonymous. They present the given \fIname\fR as the
- name of the default database to use in Postgres queries. If not specified,
- the default database for the current user is used.
- .IP "\fB-options\fR \fIopts\fR"
- This sets \fIopts\fR as additional command line options send to the server.
- .IP "\fB-tty\fR \fIfile\fR"
- This option is ignored on never servers. Formerly this specified where to send debug
- output. This option is left for compatibility with older servers.
- .IP "\fB-sslmode\fR \fImode\fR"
- This option determines whether or with what priority an SSL connection will be negotiated with
- the server. There are four \fImodes\fR: \fBdisable\fR will attempt only an unencrypted SSL connection;
- \fBallow\fR will negotiate, trying first a non-SSL connection, then if that fails, trying an SSL
- connection; \fBprefer\fR (the default) will negotiate, trying first an SSL connection,
- then if that fails, trying a regular non-SSL connection; \fBrequire\fR will try only an SSL connection.
- If PostgreSQL is compiled without SSL support, using option \fBrequire\fR will cause an error,
- and options \fBallow\fR and \fBprefer\fR will be tolerated but the driver will be unable to negotiate
- an SSL connection.
- .IP \fB-requiressl\fR \fIflag\fR
- This option is deprecated in favor of the \fB-sslmode\fR setting.
- The \fIflag\fR value must be a Boolean value. If it is \fBtrue\fR (or
- any equivalent), driver will then refuse to connect if the server does
- not accept an SSL connection. The default value is \fBfalse\fR (or any
- equivalent), and acts the same like \fB-sslmode\fR \fBpreffered\fR
- .IP \fB-service\fR \fIname\fR
- It specifies a service \fIname\fR in pg_service.conf file that holds additional connection parameters.
- This allows applications to specify only a service name so connection parameters can be
- centrally maintained. Refer to PostgreSQL Documentation or PREFIX/share/pg_service.conf.sample file
- for details.
- .SH EXAMPLES
- .PP
- .CS
- tdbc::postgres::connection -user joe -passwd sesame -db joes_database
- .CE
- Connects to the Postgres server on the local host using the default
- connection method, presenting user ID 'joe' and password 'sesame'.
- Uses 'joes_database' as the default database name.
