+
+.. _adaptation:
+
+Data adaptation configuration
+=============================
+
+The adaptation system is at the core of Psycopg and allows to customise the
+way Python objects are converted to PostgreSQL when a query is performed and
+how PostgreSQL values are converted to Python objects when query results are
+returned.
+
+.. note::
+ For a high-level view of the conversion of types between Python and
+ PostgreSQL please look at :ref:`query-parameters`. Using the objects
+ described in this page is useful if you intend to *customise* the
+ adaptation rules.
+
+- Adaptation configuration is performed by changing the
+ `~psycopg.abc.AdaptContext.adapters` object of objects implementing the
+ `~psycopg.abc.AdaptContext` protocol, for instance `~psycopg.Connection`
+ or `~psycopg.Cursor`.
+
+- Every context object derived from another context inherits its adapters
+ mapping: cursors created from a connection inherit the connection's
+ configuration.
+
+ By default, connections obtain an adapters map from the global map
+ exposed as `psycopg.adapters`: changing the content of this object will
+ affect every connection created afterwards. You may specify a different
+ template adapters map using the `!context` parameter on
+ `~psycopg.Connection.connect()`.
+
+ .. image:: ../pictures/adapt.svg
+ :align: center
+
+- The `!adapters` attributes are `AdaptersMap` instances, and contain the
+ mapping from Python types and `~psycopg.abc.Dumper` classes, and from
+ PostgreSQL OIDs to `~psycopg.abc.Loader` classes. Changing this mapping
+ (e.g. writing and registering your own adapters, or using a different
+ configuration of builtin adapters) affects how types are converted between
+ Python and PostgreSQL.
+
+ - Dumpers (objects implementing the `~psycopg.abc.Dumper` protocol) are
+ the objects used to perform the conversion from a Python object to a bytes
+ sequence in a format understood by PostgreSQL. The string returned
+ *shouldn't be quoted*: the value will be passed to the database using
+ functions such as :pq:`PQexecParams()` so quoting and quotes escaping is
+ not necessary. The dumper usually also suggests to the server what type to
+ use, via its `~psycopg.abc.Dumper.oid` attribute.
+
+ - Loaders (objects implementing the `~psycopg.abc.Loader` protocol) are
+ the objects used to perform the opposite operation: reading a bytes
+ sequence from PostgreSQL and creating a Python object out of it.
+
+ - Dumpers and loaders are instantiated on demand by a `~Transformer` object
+ when a query is executed.
+
+.. note::
+ Changing adapters in a context only affects that context and its children
+ objects created *afterwards*; the objects already created are not
+ affected. For instance, changing the global context will only change newly
+ created connections, not the ones already existing.
+
+
+.. _adapt-example-xml:
+
+Writing a custom adapter: XML
+-----------------------------
+
+Psycopg doesn't provide adapters for the XML data type, because there are just
+too many ways of handling XML in Python. Creating a loader to parse the
+`PostgreSQL xml type`__ to `~xml.etree.ElementTree` is very simple, using the
+`psycopg.adapt.Loader` base class and implementing the
+`~psycopg.abc.Loader.load()` method:
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-xml.html
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
+ >>> from psycopg.adapt import Loader
+
+ >>> # Create a class implementing the `load()` method.
+ >>> class XmlLoader(Loader):
+ ... def load(self, data):
+ ... return ET.fromstring(data)
+
+ >>> # Register the loader on the adapters of a context.
+ >>> conn.adapters.register_loader("xml", XmlLoader)
+
+ >>> # Now just query the database returning XML data.
+ >>> cur = conn.execute(
+ ... """select XMLPARSE (DOCUMENT '<?xml version="1.0"?>
+ ... <book><title>Manual</title><chapter>...</chapter></book>')
+ ... """)
+
+ >>> elem = cur.fetchone()[0]
+ >>> elem
+ <Element 'book' at 0x7ffb55142ef0>
+
+The opposite operation, converting Python objects to PostgreSQL, is performed
+by dumpers. The `psycopg.adapt.Dumper` base class makes it easy to implement one:
+you only need to implement the `~psycopg.abc.Dumper.dump()` method::
+
+ >>> from psycopg.adapt import Dumper
+
+ >>> class XmlDumper(Dumper):
+ ... # Setting an OID is not necessary but can be helpful
+ ... oid = psycopg.adapters.types["xml"].oid
+ ...
+ ... def dump(self, elem):
+ ... return ET.tostring(elem)
+
+ >>> # Register the dumper on the adapters of a context
+ >>> conn.adapters.register_dumper(ET.Element, XmlDumper)
+
+ >>> # Now, in that context, it is possible to use ET.Element objects as parameters
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT xpath('//title/text()', %s)", [elem]).fetchone()[0]
+ ['Manual']
+
+Note that it is possible to use a `~psycopg.types.TypesRegistry`, exposed by
+any `~psycopg.abc.AdaptContext`, to obtain information on builtin types, or
+extension types if they have been registered on that context using the
+`~psycopg.types.TypeInfo`\.\ `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo.register()` method.
+
+
+.. _adapt-example-float:
+
+Example: PostgreSQL numeric to Python float
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Normally PostgreSQL :sql:`numeric` values are converted to Python
+`~decimal.Decimal` instances, because both the types allow fixed-precision
+arithmetic and are not subject to rounding.
+
+Sometimes, however, you may want to perform floating-point math on
+:sql:`numeric` values, and `!Decimal` may get in the way (maybe because it is
+slower, or maybe because mixing `!float` and `!Decimal` values causes Python
+errors).
+
+If you are fine with the potential loss of precision and you simply want to
+receive :sql:`numeric` values as Python `!float`, you can register on
+:sql:`numeric` the same `Loader` class used to load
+:sql:`float4`\/:sql:`float8` values. Because the PostgreSQL textual
+representation of both floats and decimal is the same, the two loaders are
+compatible.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect()
+
+ conn.execute("SELECT 123.45").fetchone()[0]
+ # Decimal('123.45')
+
+ conn.adapters.register_loader("numeric", psycopg.types.numeric.FloatLoader)
+
+ conn.execute("SELECT 123.45").fetchone()[0]
+ # 123.45
+
+In this example the customised adaptation takes effect only on the connection
+`!conn` and on any cursor created from it, not on other connections.
+
+
+.. _adapt-example-inf-date:
+
+Example: handling infinity date
+-------------------------------
+
+Suppose you want to work with the "infinity" date which is available in
+PostgreSQL but not handled by Python:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT 'infinity'::date").fetchone()
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ DataError: date too large (after year 10K): 'infinity'
+
+One possibility would be to store Python's `datetime.date.max` as PostgreSQL
+infinity. For this, let's create a subclass for the dumper and the loader and
+register them in the working scope (globally or just on a connection or
+cursor):
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from datetime import date
+
+ # Subclass existing adapters so that the base case is handled normally.
+ from psycopg.types.datetime import DateLoader, DateDumper
+
+ class InfDateDumper(DateDumper):
+ def dump(self, obj):
+ if obj == date.max:
+ return b"infinity"
+ elif obj == date.min:
+ return b"-infinity"
+ else:
+ return super().dump(obj)
+
+ class InfDateLoader(DateLoader):
+ def load(self, data):
+ if data == b"infinity":
+ return date.max
+ elif data == b"-infinity":
+ return date.min
+ else:
+ return super().load(data)
+
+ # The new classes can be registered globally, on a connection, on a cursor
+ cur.adapters.register_dumper(date, InfDateDumper)
+ cur.adapters.register_loader("date", InfDateLoader)
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT %s::text, %s::text", [date(2020, 12, 31), date.max]).fetchone()
+ # ('2020-12-31', 'infinity')
+ cur.execute("SELECT '2020-12-31'::date, 'infinity'::date").fetchone()
+ # (datetime.date(2020, 12, 31), datetime.date(9999, 12, 31))
+
+
+Dumpers and loaders life cycle
+------------------------------
+
+Registering dumpers and loaders will instruct Psycopg to use them
+in the queries to follow, in the context where they have been registered.
+
+When a query is performed on a `~psycopg.Cursor`, a
+`~psycopg.adapt.Transformer` object is created as a local context to manage
+adaptation during the query, instantiating the required dumpers and loaders
+and dispatching the values to perform the wanted conversions from Python to
+Postgres and back.
+
+- The `!Transformer` copies the adapters configuration from the `!Cursor`,
+ thus inheriting all the changes made to the global `psycopg.adapters`
+ configuration, the current `!Connection`, the `!Cursor`.
+
+- For every Python type passed as query argument, the `!Transformer` will
+ instantiate a `!Dumper`. Usually all the objects of the same type will be
+ converted by the same dumper instance.
+
+ - According to the placeholder used (``%s``, ``%b``, ``%t``), Psycopg may
+ pick a binary or a text dumper. When using the ``%s`` "`~PyFormat.AUTO`"
+ format, if the same type has both a text and a binary dumper registered,
+ the last one registered by `~AdaptersMap.register_dumper()` will be used.
+
+ - Sometimes, just looking at the Python type is not enough to decide the
+ best PostgreSQL type to use (for instance the PostgreSQL type of a Python
+ list depends on the objects it contains, whether to use an :sql:`integer`
+ or :sql:`bigint` depends on the number size...) In these cases the
+ mechanism provided by `~psycopg.abc.Dumper.get_key()` and
+ `~psycopg.abc.Dumper.upgrade()` is used to create more specific dumpers.
+
+- The query is executed. Upon successful request, the result is received as a
+ `~psycopg.pq.PGresult`.
+
+- For every OID returned by the query, the `!Transformer` will instantiate a
+ `!Loader`. All the values with the same OID will be converted by the same
+ loader instance.
+
+- Recursive types (e.g. Python lists, PostgreSQL arrays and composite types)
+ will use the same adaptation rules.
+
+As a consequence it is possible to perform certain choices only once per query
+(e.g. looking up the connection encoding) and then call a fast-path operation
+for each value to convert.
+
+Querying will fail if a Python object for which there isn't a `!Dumper`
+registered (for the right `~psycopg.pq.Format`) is used as query parameter.
+If the query returns a data type whose OID doesn't have a `!Loader`, the
+value will be returned as a string (or bytes string for binary types).

+
+Asynchronous operations
+=======================
+
+Psycopg `~Connection` and `~Cursor` have counterparts `~AsyncConnection` and
+`~AsyncCursor` supporting an `asyncio` interface.
+
+The design of the asynchronous objects is pretty much the same of the sync
+ones: in order to use them you will only have to scatter the `!await` keyword
+here and there.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ async with await psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect(
+ "dbname=test user=postgres") as aconn:
+ async with aconn.cursor() as acur:
+ await acur.execute(
+ "INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES (%s, %s)",
+ (100, "abc'def"))
+ await acur.execute("SELECT * FROM test")
+ await acur.fetchone()
+ # will return (1, 100, "abc'def")
+ async for record in acur:
+ print(record)
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.1
+
+ `AsyncConnection.connect()` performs DNS name resolution in a non-blocking
+ way.
+
+ .. warning::
+
+ Before version 3.1, `AsyncConnection.connect()` may still block on DNS
+ name resolution. To avoid that you should `set the hostaddr connection
+ parameter`__, or use the `~psycopg._dns.resolve_hostaddr_async()` to
+ do it automatically.
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html
+ #LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS
+
+.. warning::
+
+ On Windows, Psycopg is not compatible with the default
+ `~asyncio.ProactorEventLoop`. Please use a different loop, for instance
+ the `~asyncio.SelectorEventLoop`.
+
+ For instance, you can use, early in your program:
+
+ .. parsed-literal::
+
+ `asyncio.set_event_loop_policy`\ (
+ `asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy`\ ()
+ )
+
+
+
+.. index:: with
+
+.. _async-with:
+
+`!with` async connections
+-------------------------
+
+As seen in :ref:`the basic usage <usage>`, connections and cursors can act as
+context managers, so you can run:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with psycopg.connect("dbname=test user=postgres") as conn:
+ with conn.cursor() as cur:
+ cur.execute(...)
+ # the cursor is closed upon leaving the context
+ # the transaction is committed, the connection closed
+
+For asynchronous connections it's *almost* what you'd expect, but
+not quite. Please note that `~Connection.connect()` and `~Connection.cursor()`
+*don't return a context*: they are both factory methods which return *an
+object which can be used as a context*. That's because there are several use
+cases where it's useful to handle the objects manually and only `!close()` them
+when required.
+
+As a consequence you cannot use `!async with connect()`: you have to do it in
+two steps instead, as in
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ aconn = await psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect()
+ async with aconn:
+ async with aconn.cursor() as cur:
+ await cur.execute(...)
+
+which can be condensed into `!async with await`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ async with await psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect() as aconn:
+ async with aconn.cursor() as cur:
+ await cur.execute(...)
+
+...but no less than that: you still need to do the double async thing.
+
+Note that the `AsyncConnection.cursor()` function is not an `!async` function
+(it never performs I/O), so you don't need an `!await` on it; as a consequence
+you can use the normal `async with` context manager.

+
+.. _async-ctrl-c:
+
+Interrupting async operations using Ctrl-C
+------------------------------------------
+
+If a long running operation is interrupted by a Ctrl-C on a normal connection
+running in the main thread, the operation will be cancelled and the connection
+will be put in error state, from which can be recovered with a normal
+`~Connection.rollback()`.
+
+If the query is running in an async connection, a Ctrl-C will be likely
+intercepted by the async loop and interrupt the whole program. In order to
+emulate what normally happens with blocking connections, you can use
+`asyncio's add_signal_handler()`__, to call `Connection.cancel()`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ import asyncio
+ import signal
+
+ async with await psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect() as conn:
+ loop.add_signal_handler(signal.SIGINT, conn.cancel)

+ pair: LISTEN; SQL command
+ pair: NOTIFY; SQL command
+
+.. _async-messages:
+
+Server messages
+---------------
+
+PostgreSQL can send, together with the query results, `informative messages`__
+about the operation just performed, such as warnings or debug information.
+Notices may be raised even if the operations are successful and don't indicate
+an error. You are probably familiar with some of them, because they are
+reported by :program:`psql`::
+
+ $ psql
+ =# ROLLBACK;
+ WARNING: there is no transaction in progress
+ ROLLBACK
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html
+ #RUNTIME-CONFIG-SEVERITY-LEVELS
+
+Messages can be also sent by the `PL/pgSQL 'RAISE' statement`__ (at a level
+lower than EXCEPTION, otherwise the appropriate `DatabaseError` will be
+raised). The level of the messages received can be controlled using the
+client_min_messages__ setting.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpgsql-errors-and-messages.html
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-client.html
+ #GUC-CLIENT-MIN-MESSAGES
+
+
+By default, the messages received are ignored. If you want to process them on
+the client you can use the `Connection.add_notice_handler()` function to
+register a function that will be invoked whenever a message is received. The
+message is passed to the callback as a `~errors.Diagnostic` instance,
+containing all the information passed by the server, such as the message text
+and the severity. The object is the same found on the `~psycopg.Error.diag`
+attribute of the errors raised by the server:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> import psycopg
+
+ >>> def log_notice(diag):
+ ... print(f"The server says: {diag.severity} - {diag.message_primary}")
+
+ >>> conn = psycopg.connect(autocommit=True)
+ >>> conn.add_notice_handler(log_notice)
+
+ >>> cur = conn.execute("ROLLBACK")
+ The server says: WARNING - there is no transaction in progress
+ >>> print(cur.statusmessage)
+ ROLLBACK
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The `!Diagnostic` object received by the callback should not be used after
+ the callback function terminates, because its data is deallocated after
+ the callbacks have been processed. If you need to use the information
+ later please extract the attributes requested and forward them instead of
+ forwarding the whole `!Diagnostic` object.

+.. _async-notify:
+
+Asynchronous notifications
+--------------------------
+
+Psycopg allows asynchronous interaction with other database sessions using the
+facilities offered by PostgreSQL commands |LISTEN|_ and |NOTIFY|_. Please
+refer to the PostgreSQL documentation for examples about how to use this form
+of communication.
+
+.. |LISTEN| replace:: :sql:`LISTEN`
+.. _LISTEN: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-listen.html
+.. |NOTIFY| replace:: :sql:`NOTIFY`
+.. _NOTIFY: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-notify.html
+
+Because of the way sessions interact with notifications (see |NOTIFY|_
+documentation), you should keep the connection in `~Connection.autocommit`
+mode if you wish to receive or send notifications in a timely manner.
+
+Notifications are received as instances of `Notify`. If you are reserving a
+connection only to receive notifications, the simplest way is to consume the
+`Connection.notifies` generator. The generator can be stopped using
+`!close()`.
+
+.. note::
+
+ You don't need an `AsyncConnection` to handle notifications: a normal
+ blocking `Connection` is perfectly valid.
+
+The following example will print notifications and stop when one containing
+the ``"stop"`` message is received.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ import psycopg
+ conn = psycopg.connect("", autocommit=True)
+ conn.execute("LISTEN mychan")
+ gen = conn.notifies()
+ for notify in gen:
+ print(notify)
+ if notify.payload == "stop":
+ gen.close()
+ print("there, I stopped")
+
+If you run some :sql:`NOTIFY` in a :program:`psql` session:
+
+.. code:: psql
+
+ =# NOTIFY mychan, 'hello';
+ NOTIFY
+ =# NOTIFY mychan, 'hey';
+ NOTIFY
+ =# NOTIFY mychan, 'stop';
+ NOTIFY
+
+You may get output from the Python process such as::
+
+ Notify(channel='mychan', payload='hello', pid=961823)
+ Notify(channel='mychan', payload='hey', pid=961823)
+ Notify(channel='mychan', payload='stop', pid=961823)
+ there, I stopped
+
+Alternatively, you can use `~Connection.add_notify_handler()` to register a
+callback function, which will be invoked whenever a notification is received,
+during the normal query processing; you will be then able to use the
+connection normally. Please note that in this case notifications will not be
+received immediately, but only during a connection operation, such as a query.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn.add_notify_handler(lambda n: print(f"got this: {n}"))
+
+ # meanwhile in psql...
+ # =# NOTIFY mychan, 'hey';
+ # NOTIFY
+
+ print(conn.execute("SELECT 1").fetchone())
+ # got this: Notify(channel='mychan', payload='hey', pid=961823)
+ # (1,)
+
+
+.. index:: disconnections
+
+.. _disconnections:
+
+Detecting disconnections
+------------------------
+
+Sometimes it is useful to detect immediately when the connection with the
+database is lost. One brutal way to do so is to poll a connection in a loop
+running an endless stream of :sql:`SELECT 1`... *Don't* do so: polling is *so*
+out of fashion. Besides, it is inefficient (unless what you really want is a
+client-server generator of ones), it generates useless traffic and will only
+detect a disconnection with an average delay of half the polling time.
+
+A more efficient and timely way to detect a server disconnection is to create
+an additional connection and wait for a notification from the OS that this
+connection has something to say: only then you can run some checks. You
+can dedicate a thread (or an asyncio task) to wait on this connection: such
+thread will perform no activity until awaken by the OS.
+
+In a normal (non asyncio) program you can use the `selectors` module. Because
+the `!Connection` implements a `~Connection.fileno()` method you can just
+register it as a file-like object. You can run such code in a dedicated thread
+(and using a dedicated connection) if the rest of the program happens to have
+something else to do too.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ import selectors
+
+ sel = selectors.DefaultSelector()
+ sel.register(conn, selectors.EVENT_READ)
+ while True:
+ if not sel.select(timeout=60.0):
+ continue # No FD activity detected in one minute
+
+ # Activity detected. Is the connection still ok?
+ try:
+ conn.execute("SELECT 1")
+ except psycopg.OperationalError:
+ # You were disconnected: do something useful such as panicking
+ logger.error("we lost our database!")
+ sys.exit(1)
+
+In an `asyncio` program you can dedicate a `~asyncio.Task` instead and do
+something similar using `~asyncio.loop.add_reader`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ import asyncio
+
+ ev = asyncio.Event()
+ loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
+ loop.add_reader(conn.fileno(), ev.set)
+
+ while True:
+ try:
+ await asyncio.wait_for(ev.wait(), 60.0)
+ except asyncio.TimeoutError:
+ continue # No FD activity detected in one minute
+
+ # Activity detected. Is the connection still ok?
+ try:
+ await conn.execute("SELECT 1")
+ except psycopg.OperationalError:
+ # Guess what happened

+Cursor types
+============
+
+Psycopg can manage kinds of "cursors" which differ in where the state of a
+query being processed is stored: :ref:`client-side-cursors` and
+:ref:`server-side-cursors`.
+
+.. index::
+ double: Cursor; Client-side
+
+.. _client-side-cursors:
+
+Client-side cursors
+-------------------
+
+Client-side cursors are what Psycopg uses in its normal querying process.
+They are implemented by the `Cursor` and `AsyncCursor` classes. In such
+querying pattern, after a cursor sends a query to the server (usually calling
+`~Cursor.execute()`), the server replies transferring to the client the whole
+set of results requested, which is stored in the state of the same cursor and
+from where it can be read from Python code (using methods such as
+`~Cursor.fetchone()` and siblings).
+
+This querying process is very scalable because, after a query result has been
+transmitted to the client, the server doesn't keep any state. Because the
+results are already in the client memory, iterating its rows is very quick.
+
+The downside of this querying method is that the entire result has to be
+transmitted completely to the client (with a time proportional to its size)
+and the client needs enough memory to hold it, so it is only suitable for
+reasonably small result sets.

+Client-side-binding cursors
+---------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+The previously described :ref:`client-side cursors <client-side-cursors>` send
+the query and the parameters separately to the server. This is the most
+efficient way to process parametrised queries and allows to build several
+features and optimizations. However, not all types of queries can be bound
+server-side; in particular no Data Definition Language query can. See
+:ref:`server-side-binding` for the description of these problems.
+
+The `ClientCursor` (and its `AsyncClientCursor` async counterpart) merge the
+query on the client and send the query and the parameters merged together to
+the server. This allows to parametrize any type of PostgreSQL statement, not
+only queries (:sql:`SELECT`) and Data Manipulation statements (:sql:`INSERT`,
+:sql:`UPDATE`, :sql:`DELETE`).
+
+Using `!ClientCursor`, Psycopg 3 behaviour will be more similar to `psycopg2`
+(which only implements client-side binding) and could be useful to port
+Psycopg 2 programs more easily to Psycopg 3. The objects in the `sql` module
+allow for greater flexibility (for instance to parametrize a table name too,
+not only values); however, for simple cases, a `!ClientCursor` could be the
+right object.
+
+In order to obtain `!ClientCursor` from a connection, you can set its
+`~Connection.cursor_factory` (at init time or changing its attribute
+afterwards):
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from psycopg import connect, ClientCursor
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect(DSN, cursor_factory=ClientCursor)
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+ # <psycopg.ClientCursor [no result] [IDLE] (database=piro) at 0x7fd977ae2880>
+
+If you need to create a one-off client-side-binding cursor out of a normal
+connection, you can just use the `~ClientCursor` class passing the connection
+as argument.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect(DSN)
+ cur = psycopg.ClientCursor(conn)
+
+.. warning::
+
+ Client-side cursors don't support :ref:`binary parameters and return
+ values <binary-data>` and don't support :ref:`prepared statements
+ <prepared-statements>`.
+
+.. tip::
+
+ The best use for client-side binding cursors is probably to port large
+ Psycopg 2 code to Psycopg 3, especially for programs making wide use of
+ Data Definition Language statements.
+
+ The `psycopg.sql` module allows for more generic client-side query
+ composition, to mix client- and server-side parameters binding, and allows
+ to parametrize tables and fields names too, or entirely generic SQL
+ snippets.

+
+Server-side cursors
+-------------------
+
+PostgreSQL has its own concept of *cursor* too (sometimes also called
+*portal*). When a database cursor is created, the query is not necessarily
+completely processed: the server might be able to produce results only as they
+are needed. Only the results requested are transmitted to the client: if the
+query result is very large but the client only needs the first few records it
+is possible to transmit only them.
+
+The downside is that the server needs to keep track of the partially
+processed results, so it uses more memory and resources on the server.
+
+Psycopg allows the use of server-side cursors using the classes `ServerCursor`
+and `AsyncServerCursor`. They are usually created by passing the `!name`
+parameter to the `~Connection.cursor()` method (reason for which, in
+`!psycopg2`, they are usually called *named cursors*). The use of these classes
+is similar to their client-side counterparts: their interface is the same, but
+behind the scene they send commands to control the state of the cursor on the
+server (for instance when fetching new records or when moving using
+`~Cursor.scroll()`).
+
+Using a server-side cursor it is possible to process datasets larger than what
+would fit in the client's memory. However for small queries they are less
+efficient because it takes more commands to receive their result, so you
+should use them only if you need to process huge results or if only a partial
+result is needed.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ Server-side cursors are created and managed by `ServerCursor` using SQL
+ commands such as DECLARE_, FETCH_, MOVE_. The PostgreSQL documentation
+ gives a good idea of what is possible to do with them.
+
+ .. _DECLARE: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-declare.html
+ .. _FETCH: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-fetch.html
+ .. _MOVE: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-move.html
+
+
+.. _cursor-steal:
+
+"Stealing" an existing cursor
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A Psycopg `ServerCursor` can be also used to consume a cursor which was
+created in other ways than the :sql:`DECLARE` that `ServerCursor.execute()`
+runs behind the scene.
+
+For instance if you have a `PL/pgSQL function returning a cursor`__:
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpgsql-cursors.html
+
+.. code:: postgres
+
+ CREATE FUNCTION reffunc(refcursor) RETURNS refcursor AS $$
+ BEGIN
+ OPEN $1 FOR SELECT col FROM test;
+ RETURN $1;
+ END;
+ $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
+
+you can run a one-off command in the same connection to call it (e.g. using
+`Connection.execute()`) in order to create the cursor on the server:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn.execute("SELECT reffunc('curname')")
+
+after which you can create a server-side cursor declared by the same name, and
+directly call the fetch methods, skipping the `~ServerCursor.execute()` call:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ cur = conn.cursor('curname')
+ # no cur.execute()
+ for record in cur: # or cur.fetchone(), cur.fetchmany()...
+ # do something with record

+
+Pipeline mode support
+=====================
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+The *pipeline mode* allows PostgreSQL client applications to send a query
+without having to read the result of the previously sent query. Taking
+advantage of the pipeline mode, a client will wait less for the server, since
+multiple queries/results can be sent/received in a single network roundtrip.
+Pipeline mode can provide a significant performance boost to the application.
+
+Pipeline mode is most useful when the server is distant, i.e., network latency
+(“ping time”) is high, and also when many small operations are being performed
+in rapid succession. There is usually less benefit in using pipelined commands
+when each query takes many multiples of the client/server round-trip time to
+execute. A 100-statement operation run on a server 300 ms round-trip-time away
+would take 30 seconds in network latency alone without pipelining; with
+pipelining it may spend as little as 0.3 s waiting for results from the
+server.
+
+The server executes statements, and returns results, in the order the client
+sends them. The server will begin executing the commands in the pipeline
+immediately, not waiting for the end of the pipeline. Note that results are
+buffered on the server side; the server flushes that buffer when a
+:ref:`synchronization point <pipeline-sync>` is established.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ The PostgreSQL documentation about:
+
+ - `pipeline mode`__
+ - `extended query message flow`__
+
+ contains many details around when it is most useful to use the pipeline
+ mode and about errors management and interaction with transactions.
+

+
+
+Client-server messages flow
+---------------------------
+
+In order to understand better how the pipeline mode works, we should take a
+closer look at the `PostgreSQL client-server message flow`__.
+
+During normal querying, each statement is transmitted by the client to the
+server as a stream of request messages, terminating with a **Sync** message to
+tell it that it should process the messages sent so far. The server will
+execute the statement and describe the results back as a stream of messages,
+terminating with a **ReadyForQuery**, telling the client that it may now send a
+new query.
+
+For example, the statement (returning no result):
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s)", ["hello"])
+
+results in the following two groups of messages:
+
+.. table::
+ :align: left
+
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Direction | Message |
+ +===============+===========================================================+
+ | Python | - Parse ``INSERT INTO ... (VALUE $1)`` (skipped if |
+ | | :ref:`the statement is prepared <prepared-statements>`) |
+ | |>| | - Bind ``'hello'`` |
+ | | - Describe |
+ | PostgreSQL | - Execute |
+ | | - Sync |
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | PostgreSQL | - ParseComplete |
+ | | - BindComplete |
+ | |<| | - NoData |
+ | | - CommandComplete ``INSERT 0 1`` |
+ | Python | - ReadyForQuery |
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+
+and the query:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn.execute("SELECT data FROM mytable WHERE id = %s", [1])
+
+results in the two groups of messages:
+
+.. table::
+ :align: left
+
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Direction | Message |
+ +===============+===========================================================+
+ | Python | - Parse ``SELECT data FROM mytable WHERE id = $1`` |
+ | | - Bind ``1`` |
+ | |>| | - Describe |
+ | | - Execute |
+ | PostgreSQL | - Sync |
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | PostgreSQL | - ParseComplete |
+ | | - BindComplete |
+ | |<| | - RowDescription ``data`` |
+ | | - DataRow ``hello`` |
+ | Python | - CommandComplete ``SELECT 1`` |
+ | | - ReadyForQuery |
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The two statements, sent consecutively, pay the communication overhead four
+times, once per leg.
+
+The pipeline mode allows the client to combine several operations in longer
+streams of messages to the server, then to receive more than one response in a
+single batch. If we execute the two operations above in a pipeline:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with conn.pipeline():
+ conn.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s)", ["hello"])
+ conn.execute("SELECT data FROM mytable WHERE id = %s", [1])
+
+they will result in a single roundtrip between the client and the server:
+
+.. table::
+ :align: left
+
+ +---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+

+.. _pipeline-usage:
+
+Pipeline mode usage
+-------------------
+
+Psycopg supports the pipeline mode via the `Connection.pipeline()` method. The
+method is a context manager: entering the ``with`` block yields a `Pipeline`
+object. At the end of block, the connection resumes the normal operation mode.
+
+Within the pipeline block, you can use normally one or more cursors to execute
+several operations, using `Connection.execute()`, `Cursor.execute()` and
+`~Cursor.executemany()`.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> with conn.pipeline():
+ ... conn.execute("INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (%s)", ["hello"])
+ ... with conn.cursor() as cur:
+ ... cur.execute("INSERT INTO othertable VALUES (%s)", ["world"])
+ ... cur.executemany(
+ ... "INSERT INTO elsewhere VALUES (%s)",
+ ... [("one",), ("two",), ("four",)])
+
+Unlike in normal mode, Psycopg will not wait for the server to receive the
+result of each query; the client will receive results in batches when the
+server flushes it output buffer.
+
+When a flush (or a sync) is performed, all pending results are sent back to
+the cursors which executed them. If a cursor had run more than one query, it
+will receive more than one result; results after the first will be available,
+in their execution order, using `~Cursor.nextset()`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> with conn.pipeline():
+ ... with conn.cursor() as cur:
+ ... cur.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s) RETURNING *", ["hello"])
+ ... cur.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s) RETURNING *", ["world"])
+ ... while True:
+ ... print(cur.fetchall())
+ ... if not cur.nextset():
+ ... break
+
+ [(1, 'hello')]
+ [(2, 'world')]
+
+If any statement encounters an error, the server aborts the current
+transaction and will not execute any subsequent command in the queue until the
+next :ref:`synchronization point <pipeline-sync>`; a `~errors.PipelineAborted`
+exception is raised for each such command. Query processing resumes after the
+synchronization point.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ Certain features are not available in pipeline mode, including:
+
+ - COPY is not supported in pipeline mode by PostgreSQL.
+ - `Cursor.stream()` doesn't make sense in pipeline mode (its job is the
+ opposite of batching!)
+ - `ServerCursor` are currently not implemented in pipeline mode.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Starting from Psycopg 3.1, `~Cursor.executemany()` makes use internally of
+ the pipeline mode; as a consequence there is no need to handle a pipeline
+ block just to call `!executemany()` once.
+
+
+.. _pipeline-sync:
+
+Synchronization points
+----------------------
+
+Flushing query results to the client can happen either when a synchronization
+point is established by Psycopg:
+
+- using the `Pipeline.sync()` method;
+- on `Connection.commit()` or `~Connection.rollback()`;
+- at the end of a `!Pipeline` block;
+- possibly when opening a nested `!Pipeline` block;
+- using a fetch method such as `Cursor.fetchone()` (which only flushes the
+ query but doesn't issue a Sync and doesn't reset a pipeline state error).
+
+The server might perform a flush on its own initiative, for instance when the
+output buffer is full.
+
+Note that, even in :ref:`autocommit <autocommit>`, the server wraps the
+statements sent in pipeline mode in an implicit transaction, which will be
+only committed when the Sync is received. As such, a failure in a group of
+statements will probably invalidate the effect of statements executed after
+the previous Sync, and will propagate to the following Sync.
+
+For example, in the following block:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> with psycopg.connect(autocommit=True) as conn:
+ ... with conn.pipeline() as p, conn.cursor() as cur:
+ ... try:
+ ... cur.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s)", ["one"])
+ ... cur.execute("INSERT INTO no_such_table (data) VALUES (%s)", ["two"])
+ ... conn.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s)", ["three"])
+ ... p.sync()
+ ... except psycopg.errors.UndefinedTable:
+ ... pass
+ ... cur.execute("INSERT INTO mytable (data) VALUES (%s)", ["four"])
+
+there will be an error in the block, ``relation "no_such_table" does not
+exist`` caused by the insert ``two``, but probably raised by the `!sync()`
+call. At at the end of the block, the table will contain:
+
+.. code:: text
+
+ =# SELECT * FROM mytable;
+ +----+------+
+ | id | data |
+ +----+------+
+ | 2 | four |
+ +----+------+
+ (1 row)
+
+because:
+
+- the value 1 of the sequence is consumed by the statement ``one``, but
+ the record discarded because of the error in the same implicit transaction;
+- the statement ``three`` is not executed because the pipeline is aborted (so
+ it doesn't consume a sequence item);
+- the statement ``four`` is executed with
+ success after the Sync has terminated the failed transaction.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The exact Python statement where an exception caused by a server error is
+ raised is somewhat arbitrary: it depends on when the server flushes its
+ buffered result.
+
+ If you want to make sure that a group of statements is applied atomically
+ by the server, do make use of transaction methods such as
+ `~Connection.commit()` or `~Connection.transaction()`: these methods will
+ also sync the pipeline and raise an exception if there was any error in
+ the commands executed so far.
+
+
+The fine prints
+---------------
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The Pipeline mode is an experimental feature.
+
+ Its behaviour, especially around error conditions and concurrency, hasn't
+ been explored as much as the normal request-response messages pattern, and
+ its async nature makes it inherently more complex.
+
+ As we gain more experience and feedback (which is welcome), we might find
+ bugs and shortcomings forcing us to change the current interface or
+ behaviour.
+
+The pipeline mode is available on any currently supported PostgreSQL version,
+but, in order to make use of it, the client must use a libpq from PostgreSQL
+14 or higher. You can use `Pipeline.is_supported()` to make sure your client
+has the right library.

+
+Connection pools
+================
+
+A `connection pool`__ is an object managing a set of connections and allowing
+their use in functions needing one. Because the time to establish a new
+connection can be relatively long, keeping connections open can reduce latency.
+
+.. __: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_pool
+
+This page explains a few basic concepts of Psycopg connection pool's
+behaviour. Please refer to the `ConnectionPool` object API for details about
+the pool operations.
+
+.. note:: The connection pool objects are distributed in a package separate
+ from the main `psycopg` package: use ``pip install "psycopg[pool]"`` or ``pip
+ install psycopg_pool`` to make the `psycopg_pool` package available. See
+ :ref:`pool-installation`.
+
+
+Pool life cycle
+---------------
+
+A simple way to use the pool is to create a single instance of it, as a
+global object, and to use this object in the rest of the program, allowing
+other functions, modules, threads to use it::
+
+ # module db.py in your program
+ from psycopg_pool import ConnectionPool
+
+ pool = ConnectionPool(conninfo, **kwargs)
+ # the pool starts connecting immediately.
+
+ # in another module
+ from .db import pool
+
+ def my_function():
+ with pool.connection() as conn:
+ conn.execute(...)
+
+Ideally you may want to call `~ConnectionPool.close()` when the use of the
+pool is finished. Failing to call `!close()` at the end of the program is not
+terribly bad: probably it will just result in some warnings printed on stderr.
+However, if you think that it's sloppy, you could use the `atexit` module to
+have `!close()` called at the end of the program.
+
+If you want to avoid starting to connect to the database at import time, and
+want to wait for the application to be ready, you can create the pool using
+`!open=False`, and call the `~ConnectionPool.open()` and
+`~ConnectionPool.close()` methods when the conditions are right. Certain
+frameworks provide callbacks triggered when the program is started and stopped
+(for instance `FastAPI startup/shutdown events`__): they are perfect to
+initiate and terminate the pool operations::
+
+ pool = ConnectionPool(conninfo, open=False, **kwargs)
+
+ @app.on_event("startup")
+ def open_pool():
+ pool.open()
+
+ @app.on_event("shutdown")
+ def close_pool():
+ pool.close()
+
+.. __: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/events/#events-startup-shutdown
+
+Creating a single pool as a global variable is not the mandatory use: your
+program can create more than one pool, which might be useful to connect to
+more than one database, or to provide different types of connections, for
+instance to provide separate read/write and read-only connections. The pool
+also acts as a context manager and is open and closed, if necessary, on
+entering and exiting the context block::
+
+ from psycopg_pool import ConnectionPool
+
+ with ConnectionPool(conninfo, **kwargs) as pool:
+ run_app(pool)
+
+ # the pool is now closed
+
+When the pool is open, the pool's background workers start creating the
+requested `!min_size` connections, while the constructor (or the `!open()`
+method) returns immediately. This allows the program some leeway to start
+before the target database is up and running. However, if your application is
+misconfigured, or the network is down, it means that the program will be able
+to start, but the threads requesting a connection will fail with a
+`PoolTimeout` only after the timeout on `~ConnectionPool.connection()` is
+expired. If this behaviour is not desirable (and you prefer your program to
+crash hard and fast, if the surrounding conditions are not right, because
+something else will respawn it) you should call the `~ConnectionPool.wait()`
+method after creating the pool, or call `!open(wait=True)`: these methods will
+block until the pool is full, or will raise a `PoolTimeout` exception if the
+pool isn't ready within the allocated time.
+
+
+Connections life cycle
+----------------------
+
+The pool background workers create connections according to the parameters
+`!conninfo`, `!kwargs`, and `!connection_class` passed to `ConnectionPool`
+constructor, invoking something like :samp:`{connection_class}({conninfo},
+**{kwargs})`. Once a connection is created it is also passed to the
+`!configure()` callback, if provided, after which it is put in the pool (or
+passed to a client requesting it, if someone is already knocking at the door).
+
+If a connection expires (it passes `!max_lifetime`), or is returned to the pool
+in broken state, or is found closed by `~ConnectionPool.check()`), then the
+pool will dispose of it and will start a new connection attempt in the
+background.
+
+
+Using connections from the pool
+-------------------------------
+
+The pool can be used to request connections from multiple threads or
+concurrent tasks - it is hardly useful otherwise! If more connections than the
+ones available in the pool are requested, the requesting threads are queued
+and are served a connection as soon as one is available, either because
+another client has finished using it or because the pool is allowed to grow
+(when `!max_size` > `!min_size`) and a new connection is ready.
+
+The main way to use the pool is to obtain a connection using the
+`~ConnectionPool.connection()` context, which returns a `~psycopg.Connection`
+or subclass::
+
+ with my_pool.connection() as conn:
+ conn.execute("what you want")
+
+The `!connection()` context behaves like the `~psycopg.Connection` object
+context: at the end of the block, if there is a transaction open, it will be
+committed, or rolled back if the context is exited with as exception.
+
+At the end of the block the connection is returned to the pool and shouldn't
+be used anymore by the code which obtained it. If a `!reset()` function is
+specified in the pool constructor, it is called on the connection before
+returning it to the pool. Note that the `!reset()` function is called in a
+worker thread, so that the thread which used the connection can keep its
+execution without being slowed down by it.
+
+
+Pool connection and sizing
+--------------------------
+
+A pool can have a fixed size (specifying no `!max_size` or `!max_size` =
+`!min_size`) or a dynamic size (when `!max_size` > `!min_size`). In both
+cases, as soon as the pool is created, it will try to acquire `!min_size`
+connections in the background.
+
+If an attempt to create a connection fails, a new attempt will be made soon
+after, using an exponential backoff to increase the time between attempts,
+until a maximum of `!reconnect_timeout` is reached. When that happens, the pool
+will call the `!reconnect_failed()` function, if provided to the pool, and just
+start a new connection attempt. You can use this function either to send
+alerts or to interrupt the program and allow the rest of your infrastructure
+to restart it.
+
+If more than `!min_size` connections are requested concurrently, new ones are
+created, up to `!max_size`. Note that the connections are always created by the
+background workers, not by the thread asking for the connection: if a client
+requests a new connection, and a previous client terminates its job before the
+new connection is ready, the waiting client will be served the existing
+connection. This is especially useful in scenarios where the time to establish
+a connection dominates the time for which the connection is used (see `this
+analysis`__, for instance).
+
+.. __: https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP/blob/dev/documents/
+ Welcome-To-The-Jungle.md
+
+If a pool grows above `!min_size`, but its usage decreases afterwards, a number
+of connections are eventually closed: one every time a connection is unused
+after the `!max_idle` time specified in the pool constructor.
+
+
+What's the right size for the pool?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Big question. Who knows. However, probably not as large as you imagine. Please
+take a look at `this analysis`__ for some ideas.
+
+.. __: https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP/wiki/About-Pool-Sizing
+
+Something useful you can do is probably to use the
+`~ConnectionPool.get_stats()` method and monitor the behaviour of your program
+to tune the configuration parameters. The size of the pool can also be changed
+at runtime using the `~ConnectionPool.resize()` method.

+and can dedicate it a handful of connections; conversely you might not want to
+use it if you deploy the application in several instances, behind a load
+balancer, and/or using an external connection pool process such as PgBouncer.
+
+Switching between using or not using a pool requires some code change, because
+the `ConnectionPool` API is different from the normal `~psycopg.connect()`
+function and because the pool can perform additional connection configuration
+(in the `!configure` parameter) that, if the pool is removed, should be
+performed in some different code path of your application.
+
+The `!psycopg_pool` 3.1 package introduces the `NullConnectionPool` class.
+This class has the same interface, and largely the same behaviour, of the
+`!ConnectionPool`, but doesn't create any connection beforehand. When a
+connection is returned, unless there are other clients already waiting, it
+is closed immediately and not kept in the pool state.
+
+A null pool is not only a configuration convenience, but can also be used to
+regulate the access to the server by a client program. If `!max_size` is set to
+a value greater than 0, the pool will make sure that no more than `!max_size`
+connections are created at any given time. If more clients ask for further
+connections, they will be queued and served a connection as soon as a previous
+client has finished using it, like for the basic pool. Other mechanisms to
+throttle client requests (such as `!timeout` or `!max_waiting`) are respected
+too.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Queued clients will be handed an already established connection, as soon
+ as a previous client has finished using it (and after the pool has
+ returned it to idle state and called `!reset()` on it, if necessary).
+
+Because normally (i.e. unless queued) every client will be served a new
+connection, the time to obtain the connection is paid by the waiting client;
+background workers are not normally involved in obtaining new connections.
+
+
+Connection quality
+------------------
+
+The state of the connection is verified when a connection is returned to the
+pool: if a connection is broken during its usage it will be discarded on
+return and a new connection will be created.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The health of the connection is not checked when the pool gives it to a
+ client.
+
+Why not? Because doing so would require an extra network roundtrip: we want to
+save you from its latency. Before getting too angry about it, just think that
+the connection can be lost any moment while your program is using it. As your
+program should already be able to cope with a loss of a connection during its
+process, it should be able to tolerate to be served a broken connection:
+unpleasant but not the end of the world.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The health of the connection is not checked when the connection is in the
+ pool.
+
+Does the pool keep a watchful eye on the quality of the connections inside it?
+No, it doesn't. Why not? Because you will do it for us! Your program is only
+a big ruse to make sure the connections are still alive...
+
+Not (entirely) trolling: if you are using a connection pool, we assume that
+you are using and returning connections at a good pace. If the pool had to
+check for the quality of a broken connection before your program notices it,
+it should be polling each connection even faster than your program uses them.
+Your database server wouldn't be amused...
+
+Can you do something better than that? Of course you can, there is always a
+better way than polling. You can use the same recipe of :ref:`disconnections`,
+reserving a connection and using a thread to monitor for any activity
+happening on it. If any activity is detected, you can call the pool
+`~ConnectionPool.check()` method, which will run a quick check on each
+connection in the pool, removing the ones found in broken state, and using the
+background workers to replace them with fresh ones.
+
+If you set up a similar check in your program, in case the database connection
+is temporarily lost, we cannot do anything for the threads which had taken
+already a connection from the pool, but no other thread should be served a
+broken connection, because `!check()` would empty the pool and refill it with
+working connections, as soon as they are available.
+
+Faster than you can say poll. Or pool.
+
+
+.. _pool-stats:
+
+Pool stats
+----------
+
+The pool can return information about its usage using the methods
+`~ConnectionPool.get_stats()` or `~ConnectionPool.pop_stats()`. Both methods
+return the same values, but the latter reset the counters after its use. The
+values can be sent to a monitoring system such as Graphite_ or Prometheus_.
+
+.. _Graphite: https://graphiteapp.org/

+Prepared statements
+===================
+
+Psycopg uses an automatic system to manage *prepared statements*. When a
+query is prepared, its parsing and planning is stored in the server session,
+so that further executions of the same query on the same connection (even with
+different parameters) are optimised.
+
+A query is prepared automatically after it is executed more than
+`~Connection.prepare_threshold` times on a connection. `!psycopg` will make
+sure that no more than `~Connection.prepared_max` statements are planned: if
+further queries are executed, the least recently used ones are deallocated and
+the associated resources freed.
+
+Statement preparation can be controlled in several ways:
+
+- You can decide to prepare a query immediately by passing `!prepare=True` to
+ `Connection.execute()` or `Cursor.execute()`. The query is prepared, if it
+ wasn't already, and executed as prepared from its first use.
+
+- Conversely, passing `!prepare=False` to `!execute()` will avoid to prepare
+ the query, regardless of the number of times it is executed. The default for
+ the parameter is `!None`, meaning that the query is prepared if the
+ conditions described above are met.
+
+- You can disable the use of prepared statements on a connection by setting
+ its `~Connection.prepare_threshold` attribute to `!None`.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.1
+ You can set `!prepare_threshold` as a `~Connection.connect()` keyword
+ parameter too.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ The `PREPARE`__ PostgreSQL documentation contains plenty of details about
+ prepared statements in PostgreSQL.
+
+ Note however that Psycopg doesn't use SQL statements such as
+ :sql:`PREPARE` and :sql:`EXECUTE`, but protocol level commands such as the
+ ones exposed by :pq:`PQsendPrepare`, :pq:`PQsendQueryPrepared`.
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-prepare.html
+
+.. warning::
+
+ Using external connection poolers, such as PgBouncer, is not compatible
+ with prepared statements, because the same client connection may change
+ the server session it refers to. If such middleware is used you should
+ disable prepared statements, by setting the `Connection.prepare_threshold`
+ attribute to `!None`.

+Row factories
+=============
+
+Cursor's `fetch*` methods, by default, return the records received from the
+database as tuples. This can be changed to better suit the needs of the
+programmer by using custom *row factories*.
+
+The module `psycopg.rows` exposes several row factories ready to be used. For
+instance, if you want to return your records as dictionaries, you can use
+`~psycopg.rows.dict_row`::
+
+ >>> from psycopg.rows import dict_row
+
+ >>> conn = psycopg.connect(DSN, row_factory=dict_row)
+
+ >>> conn.execute("select 'John Doe' as name, 33 as age").fetchone()
+ {'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 33}
+
+The `!row_factory` parameter is supported by the `~Connection.connect()`
+method and the `~Connection.cursor()` method. Later usage of `!row_factory`
+overrides a previous one. It is also possible to change the
+`Connection.row_factory` or `Cursor.row_factory` attributes to change what
+they return::
+
+ >>> cur = conn.cursor(row_factory=dict_row)
+ >>> cur.execute("select 'John Doe' as name, 33 as age").fetchone()
+ {'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 33}
+

+ >>> cur.row_factory = namedtuple_row
+ >>> cur.execute("select 'John Doe' as name, 33 as age").fetchone()
+ Row(name='John Doe', age=33)
+
+If you want to return objects of your choice you can use a row factory
+*generator*, for instance `~psycopg.rows.class_row` or
+`~psycopg.rows.args_row`, or you can :ref:`write your own row factory
+<row-factory-create>`::
+

+
+Creating new row factories
+--------------------------
+
+A *row factory* is a callable that accepts a `Cursor` object and returns
+another callable, a *row maker*, which takes raw data (as a sequence of
+values) and returns the desired object.
+
+The role of the row factory is to inspect a query result (it is called after a
+query is executed and properties such as `~Cursor.description` and
+`~Cursor.pgresult` are available on the cursor) and to prepare a callable
+which is efficient to call repeatedly (because, for instance, the names of the
+columns are extracted, sanitised, and stored in local variables).
+
+Formally, these objects are represented by the `~psycopg.rows.RowFactory` and
+`~psycopg.rows.RowMaker` protocols.
+
+`~RowFactory` objects can be implemented as a class, for instance:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from typing import Any, Sequence
+ from psycopg import Cursor
+
+ class DictRowFactory:
+ def __init__(self, cursor: Cursor[Any]):
+ self.fields = [c.name for c in cursor.description]
+
+ def __call__(self, values: Sequence[Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
+ return dict(zip(self.fields, values))
+
+or as a plain function:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ def dict_row_factory(cursor: Cursor[Any]) -> RowMaker[dict[str, Any]]:
+ fields = [c.name for c in cursor.description]
+
+ def make_row(values: Sequence[Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
+ return dict(zip(fields, values))
+
+ return make_row
+
+These can then be used by specifying a `row_factory` argument in
+`Connection.connect()`, `Connection.cursor()`, or by setting the
+`Connection.row_factory` attribute.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect(row_factory=DictRowFactory)
+ cur = conn.execute("SELECT first_name, last_name, age FROM persons")
+ person = cur.fetchone()
+ print(f"{person['first_name']} {person['last_name']}")

+Static Typing
+=============

+Generic types
+-------------
+
+Psycopg `Connection` and `Cursor` objects are `~typing.Generic` objects and
+support a `!Row` parameter which is the type of the records returned.
+
+By default methods such as `Cursor.fetchall()` return normal tuples of unknown
+size and content. As such, the `connect()` function returns an object of type
+`!psycopg.Connection[Tuple[Any, ...]]` and `Connection.cursor()` returns an
+object of type `!psycopg.Cursor[Tuple[Any, ...]]`. If you are writing generic
+plumbing code it might be practical to use annotations such as
+`!Connection[Any]` and `!Cursor[Any]`.

+
+If you want to use connections and cursors returning your data as different
+types, for instance as dictionaries, you can use the `!row_factory` argument
+of the `~Connection.connect()` and the `~Connection.cursor()` method, which
+will control what type of record is returned by the fetch methods of the
+cursors and annotate the returned objects accordingly. See
+:ref:`row-factories` for more details.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ dconn = psycopg.connect(row_factory=dict_row)
+ # dconn type is psycopg.Connection[Dict[str, Any]]

+Example: returning records as Pydantic models
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Using Pydantic_ it is possible to enforce static typing at runtime. Using a

+compatible with the model.
+
+.. _Pydantic: https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/
+
+The following example can be checked with ``mypy --strict`` without reporting

+
+
+.. _literal-string:
+
+Checking literal strings in queries
+-----------------------------------
+
+The `~Cursor.execute()` method and similar should only receive a literal
+string as input, according to :pep:`675`. This means that the query should
+come from a literal string in your code, not from an arbitrary string
+expression.
+
+For instance, passing an argument to the query should be done via the second
+argument to `!execute()`, not by string composition:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ def get_record(conn: psycopg.Connection[Any], id: int) -> Any:
+ cur = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE id = %s" % id) # BAD!
+ return cur.fetchone()
+
+ # the function should be implemented as:
+
+ def get_record(conn: psycopg.Connection[Any], id: int) -> Any:
+ cur = conn.execute("select * FROM my_table WHERE id = %s", (id,))
+ return cur.fetchone()
+
+If you are composing a query dynamically you should use the `sql.SQL` object
+and similar to escape safely table and field names. The parameter of the
+`!SQL()` object should be a literal string:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ def count_records(conn: psycopg.Connection[Any], table: str) -> int:
+ query = "SELECT count(*) FROM %s" % table # BAD!
+ return conn.execute(query).fetchone()[0]
+
+ # the function should be implemented as:
+
+ def count_records(conn: psycopg.Connection[Any], table: str) -> int:
+ query = sql.SQL("SELECT count(*) FROM {}").format(sql.Identifier(table))
+ return conn.execute(query).fetchone()[0]
+
+At the time of writing, no Python static analyzer implements this check (`mypy
+doesn't implement it`__, Pyre_ does, but `doesn't work with psycopg yet`__).
+Once the type checkers support will be complete, the above bad statements
+should be reported as errors.

+Connection classes
+==================
+
+The `Connection` and `AsyncConnection` classes are the main wrappers for a
+PostgreSQL database session. You can imagine them similar to a :program:`psql`
+session.
+
+One of the differences compared to :program:`psql` is that a `Connection`
+usually handles a transaction automatically: other sessions will not be able
+to see the changes until you have committed them, more or less explicitly.
+Take a look to :ref:`transactions` for the details.
+
+
+The `!Connection` class
+-----------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: Connection()
+
+ This class implements a `DBAPI-compliant interface`__. It is what you want
+ to use if you write a "classic", blocking program (eventually using
+ threads or Eventlet/gevent for concurrency). If your program uses `asyncio`
+ you might want to use `AsyncConnection` instead.
+
+ .. __: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#connection-objects
+
+ Connections behave as context managers: on block exit, the current
+ transaction will be committed (or rolled back, in case of exception) and
+ the connection will be closed.
+
+ .. automethod:: connect
+
+ :param conninfo: The `connection string`__ (a ``postgresql://`` url or
+ a list of ``key=value`` pairs) to specify where and how to connect.
+ :param kwargs: Further parameters specifying the connection string.
+ They override the ones specified in `!conninfo`.
+ :param autocommit: If `!True` don't start transactions automatically.
+ See :ref:`transactions` for details.
+ :param row_factory: The row factory specifying what type of records
+ to create fetching data (default: `~psycopg.rows.tuple_row()`). See

+`crdb` -- CockroachDB support
+=============================
+
+.. module:: psycopg.crdb
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+CockroachDB_ is a distributed database using the same fronted-backend protocol
+of PostgreSQL. As such, Psycopg can be used to write Python programs
+interacting with CockroachDB.
+
+.. _CockroachDB: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/
+
+Opening a connection to a CRDB database using `psycopg.connect()` provides a
+largely working object. However, using the `psycopg.crdb.connect()` function
+instead, Psycopg will create more specialised objects and provide a types
+mapping tweaked on the CockroachDB data model.
+
+
+.. _crdb-differences:
+
+Main differences from PostgreSQL
+--------------------------------
+
+CockroachDB behaviour is `different from PostgreSQL`__: please refer to the
+database documentation for details. These are some of the main differences
+affecting Psycopg behaviour:
+
+.. __: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/postgresql-compatibility.html
+
+- `~psycopg.Connection.cancel()` doesn't work before CockroachDB 22.1. On
+ older versions, you can use `CANCEL QUERY`_ instead (but from a different
+ connection).
+
+- :ref:`server-side-cursors` are well supported only from CockroachDB 22.1.3.
+
+- `~psycopg.ConnectionInfo.backend_pid` is only populated from CockroachDB
+ 22.1. Note however that you cannot use the PID to terminate the session; use
+ `SHOW session_id`_ to find the id of a session, which you may terminate with
+ `CANCEL SESSION`_ in lieu of PostgreSQL's :sql:`pg_terminate_backend()`.
+
+- Several data types are missing or slightly different from PostgreSQL (see
+ `adapters` for an overview of the differences).
+
+- The :ref:`two-phase commit protocol <two-phase-commit>` is not supported.
+
+- :sql:`LISTEN` and :sql:`NOTIFY` are not supported. However the `CHANGEFEED`_
+ command, in conjunction with `~psycopg.Cursor.stream()`, can provide push
+ notifications.

+.. autoclass:: AsyncCrdbConnection
+
+ `psycopg.AsyncConnection` subclass.
+
+
+.. autoclass:: CrdbConnectionInfo
+
+ The object is returned by the `~psycopg.Connection.info` attribute of

+ The object behaves like `!ConnectionInfo`, with the following differences:
+
+ .. autoattribute:: vendor
+
+ The `CockroachDB` string.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: server_version
+
+
+.. data:: adapters
+
+ The default adapters map establishing how Python and CockroachDB types are
+ converted into each other.
+
+ The map is used as a template when new connections are created, using
+ `psycopg.crdb.connect()` (similarly to the way `psycopg.adapters` is used
+ as template for new PostgreSQL connections).
+
+ This registry contains only the types and adapters supported by
+ CockroachDB. Several PostgreSQL types and adapters are missing or
+ different from PostgreSQL, among which:
+
+ - Composite types
+ - :sql:`range`, :sql:`multirange` types
+ - The :sql:`hstore` type
+ - Geometric types
+ - Nested arrays
+ - Arrays of :sql:`jsonb`
+ - The :sql:`cidr` data type
+ - The :sql:`json` type is an alias for :sql:`jsonb`

+Cursor classes
+==============
+
+The `Cursor` and `AsyncCursor` classes are the main objects to send commands
+to a PostgreSQL database session. They are normally created by the
+connection's `~Connection.cursor()` method.
+
+Using the `!name` parameter on `!cursor()` will create a `ServerCursor` or
+`AsyncServerCursor`, which can be used to retrieve partial results from a
+database.
+
+A `Connection` can create several cursors, but only one at time can perform
+operations, so they are not the best way to achieve parallelism (you may want
+to operate with several connections instead). All the cursors on the same
+connection have a view of the same session, so they can see each other's
+uncommitted data.
+
+
+The `!Cursor` class
+-------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: Cursor
+
+ This class implements a `DBAPI-compliant interface`__. It is what the
+ classic `Connection.cursor()` method returns. `AsyncConnection.cursor()`

+ need to compose a query dynamically, please use `sql.SQL` and
+ related objects.
+
+ See :pep:`675` for details.
+
+ .. automethod:: executemany
+
+ :param query: The query to execute
+ :type query: `!str`, `!bytes`, `sql.SQL`, or `sql.Composed`
+ :param params_seq: The parameters to pass to the query
+ :type params_seq: Sequence of Sequences or Mappings
+ :param returning: If `!True`, fetch the results of the queries executed
+ :type returning: `!bool`
+
+ This is more efficient than performing separate queries, but in case of
+ several :sql:`INSERT` (and with some SQL creativity for massive
+ :sql:`UPDATE` too) you may consider using `copy()`.
+
+ If the queries return data you want to read (e.g. when executing an
+ :sql:`INSERT ... RETURNING` or a :sql:`SELECT` with a side-effect),
+ you can specify `!returning=True`; the results will be available in
+ the cursor's state and can be read using `fetchone()` and similar
+ methods. Each input parameter will produce a separate result set: use
+ `nextset()` to read the results of the queries after the first one.
+
+ See :ref:`query-parameters` for all the details about executing
+ queries.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.1
+
+ - Added `!returning` parameter to receive query results.
+ - Performance optimised by making use of the pipeline mode, when
+ using libpq 14 or newer.
+
+ .. automethod:: copy
+
+ :param statement: The copy operation to execute
+ :type statement: `!str`, `!bytes`, `sql.SQL`, or `sql.Composed`
+ :param params: The parameters to pass to the statement, if any.
+ :type params: Sequence or Mapping
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The method must be called with::
+
+ with cursor.copy() as copy:
+ ...
+
+ See :ref:`copy` for information about :sql:`COPY`.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.1
+ Added parameters support.
+
+ .. automethod:: stream
+
+ This command is similar to execute + iter; however it supports endless
+ data streams. The feature is not available in PostgreSQL, but some
+ implementations exist: Materialize `TAIL`__ and CockroachDB
+ `CHANGEFEED`__ for instance.
+
+ The feature, and the API supporting it, are still experimental.
+ Beware... 👀
+
+ .. __: https://materialize.com/docs/sql/tail/#main
+ .. __: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/changefeed-for.html
+
+ The parameters are the same of `execute()`.
+
+ .. warning::
+
+ Failing to consume the iterator entirely will result in a
+ connection left in `~psycopg.ConnectionInfo.transaction_status`
+ `~pq.TransactionStatus.ACTIVE` state: this connection will refuse
+ to receive further commands (with a message such as *another
+ command is already in progress*).
+
+ If there is a chance that the generator is not consumed entirely,
+ in order to restore the connection to a working state you can call
+ `~generator.close` on the generator object returned by `!stream()`. The
+ `contextlib.closing` function might be particularly useful to make
+ sure that `!close()` is called:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ with closing(cur.stream("select generate_series(1, 10000)")) as gen:
+ for rec in gen:
+ something(rec) # might fail
+
+ Without calling `!close()`, in case of error, the connection will
+ be `!ACTIVE` and unusable. If `!close()` is called, the connection
+ might be `!INTRANS` or `!INERROR`, depending on whether the server
+ managed to send the entire resultset to the client. An autocommit
+ connection will be `!IDLE` instead.
+
+
+ .. attribute:: format
+
+ The format of the data returned by the queries. It can be selected
+ initially e.g. specifying `Connection.cursor`\ `!(binary=True)` and
+ changed during the cursor's lifetime. It is also possible to override
+ the value for single queries, e.g. specifying `execute`\
+ `!(binary=True)`.
+
+ :type: `pq.Format`
+ :default: `~pq.Format.TEXT`
+
+ .. seealso:: :ref:`binary-data`
+
+
+ .. rubric:: Methods to retrieve results
+
+ Fetch methods are only available if the last operation produced results,
+ e.g. a :sql:`SELECT` or a command with :sql:`RETURNING`. They will raise
+ an exception if used with operations that don't return result, such as an
+ :sql:`INSERT` with no :sql:`RETURNING` or an :sql:`ALTER TABLE`.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Cursors are iterable objects, so just using the::
+
+ for record in cursor:
+ ...
+
+ syntax will iterate on the records in the current recordset.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: row_factory
+
+ The property affects the objects returned by the `fetchone()`,
+ `fetchmany()`, `fetchall()` methods. The default
+ (`~psycopg.rows.tuple_row`) returns a tuple for each record fetched.
+
+ See :ref:`row-factories` for details.
+
+ .. automethod:: fetchone
+ .. automethod:: fetchmany
+ .. automethod:: fetchall
+ .. automethod:: nextset
+ .. automethod:: scroll
+
+ .. attribute:: pgresult
+ :type: Optional[psycopg.pq.PGresult]
+
+ The result returned by the last query and currently exposed by the
+ cursor, if available, else `!None`.
+
+ It can be used to obtain low level info about the last query result
+ and to access to features not currently wrapped by Psycopg.
+
+
+ .. rubric:: Information about the data
+
+ .. autoattribute:: description
+
+ .. autoattribute:: statusmessage
+
+ This is the status tag you typically see in :program:`psql` after
+ a successful command, such as ``CREATE TABLE`` or ``UPDATE 42``.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: rowcount
+ .. autoattribute:: rownumber
+
+ .. attribute:: _query
+
+ An helper object used to convert queries and parameters before sending
+ them to PostgreSQL.
+
+ .. note::
+ This attribute is exposed because it might be helpful to debug
+ problems when the communication between Python and PostgreSQL
+ doesn't work as expected. For this reason, the attribute is
+ available when a query fails too.
+
+ .. warning::
+ You shouldn't consider it part of the public interface of the
+ object: it might change without warnings.
+
+ Except this warning, I guess.
+
+ If you would like to build reliable features using this object,
+ please get in touch so we can try and design an useful interface
+ for it.
+
+ Among the properties currently exposed by this object:
+
+ - `!query` (`!bytes`): the query effectively sent to PostgreSQL. It
+ will have Python placeholders (``%s``\-style) replaced with
+ PostgreSQL ones (``$1``, ``$2``\-style).
+
+ - `!params` (sequence of `!bytes`): the parameters passed to
+ PostgreSQL, adapted to the database format.
+
+ - `!types` (sequence of `!int`): the OID of the parameters passed to
+ PostgreSQL.
+
+ - `!formats` (sequence of `pq.Format`): whether the parameter format
+ is text or binary.
+
+
+The `!ClientCursor` class
+-------------------------
+
+.. seealso:: See :ref:`client-side-binding-cursors` for details.
+
+.. autoclass:: ClientCursor
+
+ This `Cursor` subclass has exactly the same interface of its parent class,
+ but, instead of sending query and parameters separately to the server, it
+ merges them on the client and sends them as a non-parametric query on the
+ server. This allows, for instance, to execute parametrized data definition
+ statements and other :ref:`problematic queries <server-side-binding>`.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+ .. automethod:: mogrify
+
+ :param query: The query to execute.
+ :type query: `!str`, `!bytes`, `sql.SQL`, or `sql.Composed`
+ :param params: The parameters to pass to the query, if any.
+ :type params: Sequence or Mapping
+
+
+The `!ServerCursor` class
+--------------------------
+
+.. seealso:: See :ref:`server-side-cursors` for details.
+
+.. autoclass:: ServerCursor
+
+ This class also implements a `DBAPI-compliant interface`__. It is created
+ by `Connection.cursor()` specifying the `!name` parameter. Using this
+ object results in the creation of an equivalent PostgreSQL cursor in the
+ server. DBAPI-extension methods (such as `~Cursor.copy()` or
+ `~Cursor.stream()`) are not implemented on this object: use a normal
+ `Cursor` instead.
+
+ .. __: dbapi-cursor_
+
+ Most attribute and methods behave exactly like in `Cursor`, here are
+ documented the differences:
+
+ .. autoattribute:: name
+ .. autoattribute:: scrollable
+
+ .. seealso:: The PostgreSQL DECLARE_ statement documentation
+ for the description of :sql:`[NO] SCROLL`.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: withhold
+
+ .. seealso:: The PostgreSQL DECLARE_ statement documentation
+ for the description of :sql:`{WITH|WITHOUT} HOLD`.
+
+ .. _DECLARE: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-declare.html
+
+
+ .. automethod:: close
+
+ .. warning:: Closing a server-side cursor is more important than
+ closing a client-side one because it also releases the resources
+ on the server, which otherwise might remain allocated until the
+ end of the session (memory, locks). Using the pattern::
+
+ with conn.cursor():
+ ...
+
+ is especially useful so that the cursor is closed at the end of
+ the block.
+
+ .. automethod:: execute
+
+ :param query: The query to execute.
+ :type query: `!str`, `!bytes`, `sql.SQL`, or `sql.Composed`
+ :param params: The parameters to pass to the query, if any.
+ :type params: Sequence or Mapping
+ :param binary: Specify whether the server should return data in binary
+ format (`!True`) or in text format (`!False`). By default
+ (`!None`) return data as requested by the cursor's `~Cursor.format`.
+
+ Create a server cursor with given `!name` and the `!query` in argument.
+
+ If using :sql:`DECLARE` is not appropriate (for instance because the
+ cursor is returned by calling a stored procedure) you can avoid to use
+ `!execute()`, crete the cursor in other ways, and use directly the
+ `!fetch*()` methods instead. See :ref:`cursor-steal` for an example.
+
+ Using `!execute()` more than once will close the previous cursor and
+ open a new one with the same name.
+
+ .. automethod:: executemany
+ .. automethod:: fetchone
+ .. automethod:: fetchmany
+ .. automethod:: fetchall
+
+ These methods use the FETCH_ SQL statement to retrieve some of the
+ records from the cursor's current position.
+
+ .. _FETCH: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-fetch.html
+
+ .. note::
+
+ You can also iterate on the cursor to read its result one at
+ time with::
+
+ for record in cur:
+ ...
+
+ In this case, the records are not fetched one at time from the
+ server but they are retrieved in batches of `itersize` to reduce
+ the number of server roundtrips.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: itersize
+
+ Number of records to fetch at time when iterating on the cursor. The
+ default is 100.
+
+ .. automethod:: scroll
+
+ This method uses the MOVE_ SQL statement to move the current position
+ in the server-side cursor, which will affect following `!fetch*()`
+ operations. If you need to scroll backwards you should probably
+ call `~Connection.cursor()` using `scrollable=True`.
+
+ Note that PostgreSQL doesn't provide a reliable way to report when a
+ cursor moves out of bound, so the method might not raise `!IndexError`
+ when it happens, but it might rather stop at the cursor boundary.
+
+ .. _MOVE: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-fetch.html
+
+
+The `!AsyncCursor` class
+------------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: AsyncCursor
+
+ This class implements a DBAPI-inspired interface, with all the blocking
+ methods implemented as coroutines. Unless specified otherwise,
+ non-blocking methods are shared with the `Cursor` class.
+
+ The following methods have the same behaviour of the matching `!Cursor`
+ methods, but should be called using the `await` keyword.
+
+ .. attribute:: connection
+ :type: AsyncConnection
+
+ .. automethod:: close
+
+ .. note::
+
+ You can use::
+
+ async with conn.cursor():
+ ...
+
+ to close the cursor automatically when the block is exited.
+
+ .. automethod:: execute
+ .. automethod:: executemany
+ .. automethod:: copy
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The method must be called with::
+
+ async with cursor.copy() as copy:
+ ...
+
+ .. automethod:: stream
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The method must be called with::
+
+ async for record in cursor.stream(query):
+ ...
+
+ .. automethod:: fetchone
+ .. automethod:: fetchmany
+ .. automethod:: fetchall
+ .. automethod:: scroll
+
+ .. note::
+
+ You can also use::
+
+ async for record in cursor:
+ ...
+
+ to iterate on the async cursor results.
+
+
+The `!AsyncClientCursor` class
+------------------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: AsyncClientCursor
+
+ This class is the `!async` equivalent of the `ClientCursor`. The
+ difference are the same shown in `AsyncCursor`.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+
+
+The `!AsyncServerCursor` class
+------------------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: AsyncServerCursor
+
+ This class implements a DBAPI-inspired interface as the `AsyncCursor`
+ does, but wraps a server-side cursor like the `ServerCursor` class. It is
+ created by `AsyncConnection.cursor()` specifying the `!name` parameter.
+
+ The following are the methods exposing a different (async) interface from
+ the `ServerCursor` counterpart, but sharing the same semantics.
+
+ .. automethod:: close
+
+ .. note::
+ You can close the cursor automatically using::
+
+ async with conn.cursor("name") as cursor:
+ ...
+
+ .. automethod:: execute
+ .. automethod:: executemany
+ .. automethod:: fetchone
+ .. automethod:: fetchmany
+ .. automethod:: fetchall
+
+ .. note::
+
+ You can also iterate on the cursor using::
+
+ async for record in cur:
+ ...
+
+ .. automethod:: scroll

+`_dns` -- DNS resolution utilities
+==================================
+
+.. module:: psycopg._dns
+
+This module contains a few experimental utilities to interact with the DNS
+server before performing a connection.
+
+.. warning::
+ This module is experimental and its interface could change in the future,
+ without warning or respect for the version scheme. It is provided here to
+ allow experimentation before making it more stable.
+
+.. warning::
+ This module depends on the `dnspython`_ package. The package is currently
+ not installed automatically as a Psycopg dependency and must be installed
+ manually:
+
+ .. code:: sh
+
+ $ pip install "dnspython >= 2.1"
+
+ .. _dnspython: https://dnspython.readthedocs.io/
+
+
+.. function:: resolve_srv(params)
+
+ Apply SRV DNS lookup as defined in :RFC:`2782`.
+
+ :param params: The input parameters, for instance as returned by
+ `~psycopg.conninfo.conninfo_to_dict()`.
+ :type params: `!dict`
+ :return: An updated list of connection parameters.
+
+ For every host defined in the ``params["host"]`` list (comma-separated),
+ perform SRV lookup if the host is in the form ``_Service._Proto.Target``.
+ If lookup is successful, return a params dict with hosts and ports replaced
+ with the looked-up entries.
+
+ Raise `~psycopg.OperationalError` if no lookup is successful and no host
+ (looked up or unchanged) could be returned.
+
+ In addition to the rules defined by RFC 2782 about the host name pattern,
+ perform SRV lookup also if the the port is the string ``SRV`` (case
+ insensitive).
+
+ .. warning::
+ This is an experimental functionality.
+
+ .. note::
+ One possible way to use this function automatically is to subclass
+ `~psycopg.Connection`, extending the
+ `~psycopg.Connection._get_connection_params()` method::
+
+ import psycopg._dns # not imported automatically
+
+ class SrvCognizantConnection(psycopg.Connection):
+ @classmethod
+ def _get_connection_params(cls, conninfo, **kwargs):
+ params = super()._get_connection_params(conninfo, **kwargs)
+ params = psycopg._dns.resolve_srv(params)
+ return params
+
+ # The name will be resolved to db1.example.com
+ cnn = SrvCognizantConnection.connect("host=_postgres._tcp.db.psycopg.org")
+
+
+.. function:: resolve_srv_async(params)
+ :async:
+
+ Async equivalent of `resolve_srv()`.
+
+
+.. automethod:: psycopg.Connection._get_connection_params
+
+ .. warning::
+ This is an experimental method.
+
+ This method is a subclass hook allowing to manipulate the connection
+ parameters before performing the connection. Make sure to call the
+ `!super()` implementation before further manipulation of the arguments::
+
+ @classmethod
+ def _get_connection_params(cls, conninfo, **kwargs):
+ params = super()._get_connection_params(conninfo, **kwargs)
+ # do something with the params
+ return params
+
+
+.. automethod:: psycopg.AsyncConnection._get_connection_params
+
+ .. warning::
+ This is an experimental method.
+
+
+.. function:: resolve_hostaddr_async(params)
+ :async:
+
+ Perform async DNS lookup of the hosts and return a new params dict.
+
+ .. deprecated:: 3.1
+ The use of this function is not necessary anymore, because
+ `psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect()` performs non-blocking name
+ resolution automatically.
+
+ :param params: The input parameters, for instance as returned by
+ `~psycopg.conninfo.conninfo_to_dict()`.
+ :type params: `!dict`
+
+ If a ``host`` param is present but not ``hostname``, resolve the host
+ addresses dynamically.
+
+ The function may change the input ``host``, ``hostname``, ``port`` to allow
+ connecting without further DNS lookups, eventually removing hosts that are
+ not resolved, keeping the lists of hosts and ports consistent.
+
+ Raise `~psycopg.OperationalError` if connection is not possible (e.g. no
+ host resolve, inconsistent lists length).
+
+ See `the PostgreSQL docs`__ for explanation of how these params are used,
+ and how they support multiple entries.
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html
+ #LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS
+
+ .. warning::
+ Before psycopg 3.1, this function doesn't handle the ``/etc/hosts`` file.
+
+ .. note::
+ Starting from psycopg 3.1, a similar operation is performed
+ automatically by `!AsyncConnection._get_connection_params()`, so this
+ function is unneeded.
+
+ In psycopg 3.0, one possible way to use this function automatically is
+ to subclass `~psycopg.AsyncConnection`, extending the
+ `~psycopg.AsyncConnection._get_connection_params()` method::
+
+ import psycopg._dns # not imported automatically
+
+ class AsyncDnsConnection(psycopg.AsyncConnection):
+ @classmethod
+ async def _get_connection_params(cls, conninfo, **kwargs):
+ params = await super()._get_connection_params(conninfo, **kwargs)
+ params = await psycopg._dns.resolve_hostaddr_async(params)
+ return params

+`errors` -- Package exceptions
+==============================
+

+
+.. _dbapi-exceptions:
+
+DB-API exceptions
+-----------------
+
+In compliance with the DB-API, all the exceptions raised by Psycopg
+derive from the following classes:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+ `!Exception`
+ \|__ `Warning`
+ \|__ `Error`
+ \|__ `InterfaceError`
+ \|__ `DatabaseError`
+ \|__ `DataError`
+ \|__ `OperationalError`
+ \|__ `IntegrityError`
+ \|__ `InternalError`
+ \|__ `ProgrammingError`
+ \|__ `NotSupportedError`
+
+These classes are exposed both by this module and the root `psycopg` module.
+
+.. autoexception:: Error()
+
+ .. autoattribute:: diag
+ .. autoattribute:: sqlstate
+
+ The code of the error, if received from the server.
+
+ This attribute is also available as class attribute on the
+ :ref:`sqlstate-exceptions` classes.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: pgconn
+
+ Most likely it will be in `~psycopg.pq.ConnStatus.BAD` state;
+ however it might be useful to verify precisely what went wrong, for

+Other Psycopg errors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. currentmodule:: psycopg.errors
+
+
+In addition to the standard DB-API errors, Psycopg defines a few more specific
+ones.

+.. autoexception:: PipelineAborted()
+
+
+
+.. index::
+ single: Exceptions; PostgreSQL
+
+Error diagnostics
+-----------------
+
+.. autoclass:: Diagnostic()
+
+ The object is available as the `~psycopg.Error`.\ `~psycopg.Error.diag`
+ attribute and is passed to the callback functions registered with
+ `~psycopg.Connection.add_notice_handler()`.
+
+ All the information available from the :pq:`PQresultErrorField()` function
+ are exposed as attributes by the object. For instance the `!severity`
+ attribute returns the `!PG_DIAG_SEVERITY` code. Please refer to the
+ PostgreSQL documentation for the meaning of all the attributes.
+
+ The attributes available are:
+
+ .. attribute::
+ column_name
+ constraint_name
+ context
+ datatype_name
+ internal_position
+ internal_query
+ message_detail
+ message_hint
+ message_primary
+ schema_name
+ severity
+ severity_nonlocalized
+ source_file
+ source_function
+ source_line
+ sqlstate
+ statement_position
+ table_name
+
+ A string with the error field if available; `!None` if not available.
+ The attribute value is available only for errors sent by the server:
+ not all the fields are available for all the errors and for all the
+ server versions.
+
+
+.. _sqlstate-exceptions:
+
+SQLSTATE exceptions
+-------------------
+
+Errors coming from a database server (as opposite as ones generated
+client-side, such as connection failed) usually have a 5-letters error code
+called SQLSTATE (available in the `~Diagnostic.sqlstate` attribute of the
+error's `~psycopg.Error.diag` attribute).
+
+Psycopg exposes a different class for each SQLSTATE value, allowing to
+write idiomatic error handling code according to specific conditions happening
+in the database:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ try:
+ cur.execute("LOCK TABLE mytable IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE NOWAIT")
+ except psycopg.errors.LockNotAvailable:
+ locked = True
+
+The exception names are generated from the PostgreSQL source code and includes
+classes for every error defined by PostgreSQL in versions between 9.6 and 15.
+Every class in the module is named after what referred as "condition name" `in
+the documentation`__, converted to CamelCase: e.g. the error 22012,
+``division_by_zero`` is exposed by this module as the class `!DivisionByZero`.
+There is a handful of... exceptions to this rule, required for disambiguate
+name clashes: please refer to the :ref:`table below <exceptions-list>` for all
+the classes defined.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/errcodes-appendix.html#ERRCODES-TABLE
+
+Every exception class is a subclass of one of the :ref:`standard DB-API
+exception <dbapi-exceptions>`, thus exposing the `~psycopg.Error` interface.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.1.4
+ Added exceptions introduced in PostgreSQL 15.
+
+.. autofunction:: lookup
+
+ Example: if you have code using constant names or sql codes you can use
+ them to look up the exception class.
+
+ .. code-block:: python
+
+ try:
+ cur.execute("LOCK TABLE mytable IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE NOWAIT")
+ except psycopg.errors.lookup("UNDEFINED_TABLE"):
+ missing = True
+ except psycopg.errors.lookup("55P03"):
+ locked = True
+

+List of known exceptions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following are all the SQLSTATE-related error classed defined by this
+module, together with the base DBAPI exception they derive from.

+The `!psycopg` module
+=====================
+
+Psycopg implements the `Python Database DB API 2.0 specification`__. As such
+it also exposes the `module-level objects`__ required by the specifications.
+
+.. __: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/
+.. __: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#module-interface
+
+.. module:: psycopg
+
+.. autofunction:: connect
+
+ This is an alias of the class method `Connection.connect`: see its
+ documentation for details.
+
+ If you need an asynchronous connection use `AsyncConnection.connect`
+ instead.
+
+
+.. rubric:: Exceptions
+
+The standard `DBAPI exceptions`__ are exposed both by the `!psycopg` module
+and by the `psycopg.errors` module. The latter also exposes more specific
+exceptions, mapping to the database error states (see
+:ref:`sqlstate-exceptions`).
+
+.. __: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#exceptions
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+ `!Exception`
+ \|__ `Warning`
+ \|__ `Error`
+ \|__ `InterfaceError`
+ \|__ `DatabaseError`
+ \|__ `DataError`
+ \|__ `OperationalError`
+ \|__ `IntegrityError`
+ \|__ `InternalError`
+ \|__ `ProgrammingError`
+ \|__ `NotSupportedError`
+
+
+.. data:: adapters
+
+ The default adapters map establishing how Python and PostgreSQL types are
+ converted into each other.
+
+ This map is used as a template when new connections are created, using
+ `psycopg.connect()`. Its `~psycopg.adapt.AdaptersMap.types` attribute is a
+ `~psycopg.types.TypesRegistry` containing information about every
+ PostgreSQL builtin type, useful for adaptation customisation (see
+ :ref:`adaptation`)::
+
+ >>> psycopg.adapters.types["int4"]
+ <TypeInfo: int4 (oid: 23, array oid: 1007)>

+Other top-level objects
+=======================
+
+Connection information
+----------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: ConnectionInfo()
+
+ The object is usually returned by `Connection.info`.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: dsn
+
+ .. note:: The `get_parameters()` method returns the same information
+ as a dict.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: status
+
+ The status can be one of a number of values. However, only two of
+ these are seen outside of an asynchronous connection procedure:
+ `~pq.ConnStatus.OK` and `~pq.ConnStatus.BAD`. A good connection to the
+ database has the status `!OK`. Ordinarily, an `!OK` status will remain
+ so until `Connection.close()`, but a communications failure might
+ result in the status changing to `!BAD` prematurely.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: transaction_status
+
+ The status can be `~pq.TransactionStatus.IDLE` (currently idle),
+ `~pq.TransactionStatus.ACTIVE` (a command is in progress),
+ `~pq.TransactionStatus.INTRANS` (idle, in a valid transaction block),
+ or `~pq.TransactionStatus.INERROR` (idle, in a failed transaction
+ block). `~pq.TransactionStatus.UNKNOWN` is reported if the connection
+ is bad. `!ACTIVE` is reported only when a query has been sent to the
+ server and not yet completed.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: pipeline_status
+
+ .. autoattribute:: backend_pid
+ .. autoattribute:: vendor
+
+ Normally it is `PostgreSQL`; it may be different if connected to
+ a different database.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+ .. autoattribute:: server_version
+
+ The number is formed by converting the major, minor, and revision
+ numbers into two-decimal-digit numbers and appending them together.
+ Starting from PostgreSQL 10 the minor version was dropped, so the
+ second group of digits is always 00. For example, version 9.3.5 is
+ returned as 90305, version 10.2 as 100002.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: error_message
+
+ .. automethod:: get_parameters
+
+ .. note:: The `dsn` attribute returns the same information in the form
+ as a string.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: timezone
+
+ .. code:: pycon
+
+ >>> conn.info.timezone
+ zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='Europe/Rome')
+
+ .. autoattribute:: host
+
+ This can be a host name, an IP address, or a directory path if the
+ connection is via Unix socket. (The path case can be distinguished
+ because it will always be an absolute path, beginning with ``/``.)
+
+ .. autoattribute:: hostaddr
+
+ Only available if the libpq used is at least from PostgreSQL 12.
+ Raise `~psycopg.NotSupportedError` otherwise.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: port
+ .. autoattribute:: dbname
+ .. autoattribute:: user
+ .. autoattribute:: password
+ .. autoattribute:: options
+ .. automethod:: parameter_status
+
+ Example of parameters are ``server_version``,
+ ``standard_conforming_strings``... See :pq:`PQparameterStatus()` for
+ all the available parameters.
+
+ .. autoattribute:: encoding
+
+ The value returned is always normalized to the Python codec
+ `~codecs.CodecInfo.name`::
+
+ conn.execute("SET client_encoding TO LATIN9")
+ conn.info.encoding
+ 'iso8859-15'
+
+ A few PostgreSQL encodings are not available in Python and cannot be
+ selected (currently ``EUC_TW``, ``MULE_INTERNAL``). The PostgreSQL
+ ``SQL_ASCII`` encoding has the special meaning of "no encoding": see
+ :ref:`adapt-string` for details.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ The `PostgreSQL supported encodings`__.
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/multibyte.html
+
+
+The description `Column` object
+-------------------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: Column()
+
+ An object describing a column of data from a database result, `as described
+ by the DBAPI`__, so it can also be unpacked as a 7-items tuple.
+
+ The object is returned by `Cursor.description`.
+
+ .. __: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#description
+
+ .. autoattribute:: name
+ .. autoattribute:: type_code
+ .. autoattribute:: display_size
+ .. autoattribute:: internal_size
+ .. autoattribute:: precision
+ .. autoattribute:: scale
+
+
+Notifications
+-------------
+
+.. autoclass:: Notify()
+
+ The object is usually returned by `Connection.notifies()`.
+
+ .. attribute:: channel

+`!psycopg_pool` -- Connection pool implementations
+==================================================
+
+.. index::
+ double: Connection; Pool
+
+.. module:: psycopg_pool
+
+A connection pool is an object used to create and maintain a limited amount of
+PostgreSQL connections, reducing the time requested by the program to obtain a
+working connection and allowing an arbitrary large number of concurrent
+threads or tasks to use a controlled amount of resources on the server. See
+:ref:`connection-pools` for more details and usage pattern.
+
+This package exposes a few connection pool classes:
+
+- `ConnectionPool` is a synchronous connection pool yielding
+ `~psycopg.Connection` objects and can be used by multithread applications.
+
+- `AsyncConnectionPool` has an interface similar to `!ConnectionPool`, but
+ with `asyncio` functions replacing blocking functions, and yields
+ `~psycopg.AsyncConnection` instances.
+
+- `NullConnectionPool` is a `!ConnectionPool` subclass exposing the same
+ interface of its parent, but not keeping any unused connection in its state.
+ See :ref:`null-pool` for details about related use cases.
+
+- `AsyncNullConnectionPool` has the same behaviour of the
+ `!NullConnectionPool`, but with the same async interface of the
+ `!AsyncConnectionPool`.
+
+.. note:: The `!psycopg_pool` package is distributed separately from the main
+ `psycopg` package: use ``pip install "psycopg[pool]"``, or ``pip install
+ psycopg_pool``, to make it available. See :ref:`pool-installation`.
+
+ The version numbers indicated in this page refer to the `!psycopg_pool`
+ package, not to `psycopg`.
+
+
+The `!ConnectionPool` class
+---------------------------
+
+.. autoclass:: ConnectionPool
+
+ This class implements a connection pool serving `~psycopg.Connection`
+ instances (or subclasses). The constructor has *alot* of arguments, but
+ only `!conninfo` and `!min_size` are the fundamental ones, all the other
+ arguments have meaningful defaults and can probably be tweaked later, if
+ required.
+
+ :param conninfo: The connection string. See
+ `~psycopg.Connection.connect()` for details.
+ :type conninfo: `!str`
+
+ :param min_size: The minimum number of connection the pool will hold. The
+ pool will actively try to create new connections if some
+ are lost (closed, broken) and will try to never go below
+ `!min_size`.
+ :type min_size: `!int`, default: 4
+
+ :param max_size: The maximum number of connections the pool will hold. If
+ `!None`, or equal to `!min_size`, the pool will not grow or
+ shrink. If larger than `!min_size`, the pool can grow if
+ more than `!min_size` connections are requested at the same
+ time and will shrink back after the extra connections have
+ been unused for more than `!max_idle` seconds.
+ :type max_size: `!int`, default: `!None`
+
+ :param kwargs: Extra arguments to pass to `!connect()`. Note that this is
+ *one dict argument* of the pool constructor, which is
+ expanded as `connect()` keyword parameters.
+
+ :type kwargs: `!dict`
+
+ :param connection_class: The class of the connections to serve. It should
+ be a `!Connection` subclass.
+ :type connection_class: `!type`, default: `~psycopg.Connection`
+
+ :param open: If `!True`, open the pool, creating the required connections,
+ on init. If `!False`, open the pool when `!open()` is called or
+ when the pool context is entered. See the `open()` method
+ documentation for more details.
+ :type open: `!bool`, default: `!True`
+
+ :param configure: A callback to configure a connection after creation.
+ Useful, for instance, to configure its adapters. If the
+ connection is used to run internal queries (to inspect the
+ database) make sure to close an eventual transaction
+ before leaving the function.
+ :type configure: `Callable[[Connection], None]`
+
+ :param reset: A callback to reset a function after it has been returned to
+ the pool. The connection is guaranteed to be passed to the
+ `!reset()` function in "idle" state (no transaction). When
+ leaving the `!reset()` function the connection must be left in
+ *idle* state, otherwise it is discarded.
+ :type reset: `Callable[[Connection], None]`
+
+ :param name: An optional name to give to the pool, useful, for instance, to
+ identify it in the logs if more than one pool is used. if not
+ specified pick a sequential name such as ``pool-1``,
+ ``pool-2``, etc.
+ :type name: `!str`
+
+ :param timeout: The default maximum time in seconds that a client can wait
+ to receive a connection from the pool (using `connection()`
+ or `getconn()`). Note that these methods allow to override
+ the `!timeout` default.
+ :type timeout: `!float`, default: 30 seconds
+
+ :param max_waiting: Maximum number of requests that can be queued to the
+ pool, after which new requests will fail, raising
+ `TooManyRequests`. 0 means no queue limit.
+ :type max_waiting: `!int`, default: 0
+
+ :param max_lifetime: The maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool, in
+ seconds. Connections used for longer get closed and
+ replaced by a new one. The amount is reduced by a
+ random 10% to avoid mass eviction.
+ :type max_lifetime: `!float`, default: 1 hour
+
+ :param max_idle: Maximum time, in seconds, that a connection can stay unused
+ in the pool before being closed, and the pool shrunk. This
+ only happens to connections more than `!min_size`, if
+ `!max_size` allowed the pool to grow.
+ :type max_idle: `!float`, default: 10 minutes
+
+ :param reconnect_timeout: Maximum time, in seconds, the pool will try to
+ create a connection. If a connection attempt
+ fails, the pool will try to reconnect a few
+ times, using an exponential backoff and some
+ random factor to avoid mass attempts. If repeated
+ attempts fail, after `!reconnect_timeout` second
+ the connection attempt is aborted and the
+ `!reconnect_failed()` callback invoked.
+ :type reconnect_timeout: `!float`, default: 5 minutes
+
+ :param reconnect_failed: Callback invoked if an attempt to create a new
+ connection fails for more than `!reconnect_timeout`
+ seconds. The user may decide, for instance, to
+ terminate the program (executing `sys.exit()`).
+ By default don't do anything: restart a new
+ connection attempt (if the number of connection
+ fell below `!min_size`).
+ :type reconnect_failed: ``Callable[[ConnectionPool], None]``
+
+ :param num_workers: Number of background worker threads used to maintain the
+ pool state. Background workers are used for example to
+ create new connections and to clean up connections when
+ they are returned to the pool.
+ :type num_workers: `!int`, default: 3
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.1
+
+ added `!open` parameter to init method.
+
+ .. note:: In a future version, the default value for the `!open` parameter
+ might be changed to `!False`. If you rely on this behaviour (e.g. if
+ you don't use the pool as a context manager) you might want to specify
+ this parameter explicitly.
+
+ .. automethod:: connection

+The `!AsyncConnectionPool` class
+--------------------------------
+
+`!AsyncConnectionPool` has a very similar interface to the `ConnectionPool`
+class but its blocking methods are implemented as `!async` coroutines. It
+returns instances of `~psycopg.AsyncConnection`, or of its subclass if
+specified so in the `!connection_class` parameter.
+
+Only the functions with different signature from `!ConnectionPool` are
+listed here.
+
+.. autoclass:: AsyncConnectionPool
+
+ :param connection_class: The class of the connections to serve. It should
+ be an `!AsyncConnection` subclass.
+ :type connection_class: `!type`, default: `~psycopg.AsyncConnection`
+
+ :param configure: A callback to configure a connection after creation.
+ :type configure: `async Callable[[AsyncConnection], None]`
+
+ :param reset: A callback to reset a function after it has been returned to
+ the pool.
+ :type reset: `async Callable[[AsyncConnection], None]`
+
+ .. automethod:: connection
+
+ .. code:: python
+
+ async with my_pool.connection() as conn:
+ await conn.execute(...)
+
+ # the connection is now back in the pool
+
+ .. automethod:: open
+ .. automethod:: close
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The pool can be also used as an async context manager, in which case it
+ will be opened (if necessary) on entering the block and closed on
+ exiting it:
+
+ .. code:: python
+
+ async with AsyncConnectionPool(...) as pool:
+ # code using the pool
+
+ All the other constructor parameters are the same of `!ConnectionPool`.
+
+ .. automethod:: wait
+ .. automethod:: resize
+ .. automethod:: check
+ .. automethod:: getconn
+ .. automethod:: putconn
+
+
+Null connection pools
+---------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+The `NullConnectionPool` is a `ConnectionPool` subclass which doesn't create
+connections preemptively and doesn't keep unused connections in its state. See
+:ref:`null-pool` for further details.
+
+The interface of the object is entirely compatible with its parent class. Its
+behaviour is similar, with the following differences:
+
+.. autoclass:: NullConnectionPool
+
+ All the other constructor parameters are the same as in `ConnectionPool`.
+
+ :param min_size: Always 0, cannot be changed.
+ :type min_size: `!int`, default: 0
+
+ :param max_size: If None or 0, create a new connection at every request,
+ without a maximum. If greater than 0, don't create more
+ than `!max_size` connections and queue the waiting clients.
+ :type max_size: `!int`, default: None
+
+ :param reset: It is only called when there are waiting clients in the
+ queue, before giving them a connection already open. If no
+ client is waiting, the connection is closed and discarded
+ without a fuss.
+ :type reset: `Callable[[Connection], None]`
+
+ :param max_idle: Ignored, as null pools don't leave idle connections
+ sitting around.
+
+ .. automethod:: wait
+ .. automethod:: resize
+ .. automethod:: check
+
+
+The `AsyncNullConnectionPool` is, similarly, an `AsyncConnectionPool` subclass
+with the same behaviour of the `NullConnectionPool`.
+
+.. autoclass:: AsyncNullConnectionPool
+
+ The interface is the same of its parent class `AsyncConnectionPool`. The
+ behaviour is different in the same way described for `NullConnectionPool`.

+`pq` -- libpq wrapper module
+============================
+
+.. index::
+ single: libpq
+
+.. module:: psycopg.pq
+
+Psycopg is built around the libpq_, the PostgreSQL client library, which
+performs most of the network communications and returns query results in C
+structures.
+
+.. _libpq: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq.html
+
+The low-level functions of the library are exposed by the objects in the
+`!psycopg.pq` module.
+
+
+.. _pq-impl:
+
+``pq`` module implementations
+-----------------------------
+
+There are actually several implementations of the module, all offering the
+same interface. Current implementations are:
+
+- ``python``: a pure-python implementation, implemented using the `ctypes`
+ module. It is less performing than the others, but it doesn't need a C
+ compiler to install. It requires the libpq installed in the system.
+
+- ``c``: a C implementation of the libpq wrapper (more precisely, implemented
+ in Cython_). It is much better performing than the ``python``
+ implementation, however it requires development packages installed on the
+ client machine. It can be installed using the ``c`` extra, i.e. running
+ ``pip install "psycopg[c]"``.
+
+- ``binary``: a pre-compiled C implementation, bundled with all the required
+ libraries. It is the easiest option to deal with, fast to install and it
+ should require no development tool or client library, however it may be not
+ available for every platform. You can install it using the ``binary`` extra,
+ i.e. running ``pip install "psycopg[binary]"``.
+
+.. _Cython: https://cython.org/
+
+The implementation currently used is available in the `~psycopg.pq.__impl__`
+module constant.
+
+At import time, Psycopg 3 will try to use the best implementation available
+and will fail if none is usable. You can force the use of a specific
+implementation by exporting the env var :envvar:`PSYCOPG_IMPL`: importing the
+library will fail if the requested implementation is not available::
+

+
+`rows` -- row factory implementations
+=====================================
+
+.. module:: psycopg.rows
+
+The module exposes a few generic `~psycopg.RowFactory` implementation, which
+can be used to retrieve data from the database in more complex structures than
+the basic tuples.
+
+Check out :ref:`row-factories` for information about how to use these objects.
+
+.. autofunction:: tuple_row
+.. autofunction:: dict_row
+.. autofunction:: namedtuple_row
+.. autofunction:: class_row
+
+ This is not a row factory, but rather a factory of row factories.
+ Specifying `!row_factory=class_row(MyClass)` will create connections and
+ cursors returning `!MyClass` objects on fetch.
+
+ Example::
+
+ from dataclasses import dataclass
+ import psycopg
+ from psycopg.rows import class_row
+
+ @dataclass
+ class Person:
+ first_name: str
+ last_name: str
+ age: int = None
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect()
+ cur = conn.cursor(row_factory=class_row(Person))
+
+ cur.execute("select 'John' as first_name, 'Smith' as last_name").fetchone()
+ # Person(first_name='John', last_name='Smith', age=None)
+
+.. autofunction:: args_row
+.. autofunction:: kwargs_row
+
+
+Formal rows protocols
+---------------------
+
+These objects can be used to describe your own rows adapter for static typing
+checks, such as mypy_.
+
+.. _mypy: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/
+
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.RowMaker()
+
+ .. method:: __call__(values: Sequence[Any]) -> Row
+
+ Convert a sequence of values from the database to a finished object.
+
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.RowFactory()
+
+ .. method:: __call__(cursor: Cursor[Row]) -> RowMaker[Row]
+
+ Inspect the result on a cursor and return a `RowMaker` to convert rows.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.AsyncRowFactory()
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.BaseRowFactory()
+
+Note that it's easy to implement an object implementing both `!RowFactory` and
+`!AsyncRowFactory`: usually, everything you need to implement a row factory is
+to access the cursor's `~psycopg.Cursor.description`, which is provided by
+both the cursor flavours.

+`sql` -- SQL string composition
+===============================
+
+.. index::
+ double: Binding; Client-Side
+
+.. module:: psycopg.sql
+
+The module contains objects and functions useful to generate SQL dynamically,
+in a convenient and safe way. SQL identifiers (e.g. names of tables and
+fields) cannot be passed to the `~psycopg.Cursor.execute()` method like query
+arguments::
+
+ # This will not work
+ table_name = 'my_table'
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO %s VALUES (%s, %s)", [table_name, 10, 20])
+
+The SQL query should be composed before the arguments are merged, for
+instance::
+
+ # This works, but it is not optimal
+ table_name = 'my_table'
+ cur.execute(
+ "INSERT INTO %s VALUES (%%s, %%s)" % table_name,
+ [10, 20])
+
+This sort of works, but it is an accident waiting to happen: the table name
+may be an invalid SQL literal and need quoting; even more serious is the
+security problem in case the table name comes from an untrusted source. The
+name should be escaped using `~psycopg.pq.Escaping.escape_identifier()`::
+
+ from psycopg.pq import Escaping
+
+ # This works, but it is not optimal
+ table_name = 'my_table'
+ cur.execute(
+ "INSERT INTO %s VALUES (%%s, %%s)" % Escaping.escape_identifier(table_name),
+ [10, 20])
+
+This is now safe, but it somewhat ad-hoc. In case, for some reason, it is
+necessary to include a value in the query string (as opposite as in a value)
+the merging rule is still different. It is also still relatively dangerous: if
+`!escape_identifier()` is forgotten somewhere, the program will usually work,
+but will eventually crash in the presence of a table or field name with
+containing characters to escape, or will present a potentially exploitable
+weakness.
+
+The objects exposed by the `!psycopg.sql` module allow generating SQL
+statements on the fly, separating clearly the variable parts of the statement
+from the query parameters::
+
+ from psycopg import sql
+
+ cur.execute(
+ sql.SQL("INSERT INTO {} VALUES (%s, %s)")
+ .format(sql.Identifier('my_table')),
+ [10, 20])
+
+
+Module usage
+------------
+
+Usually you should express the template of your query as an `SQL` instance
+with ``{}``\-style placeholders and use `~SQL.format()` to merge the variable
+parts into them, all of which must be `Composable` subclasses. You can still
+have ``%s``\-style placeholders in your query and pass values to
+`~psycopg.Cursor.execute()`: such value placeholders will be untouched by
+`!format()`::

+The resulting object is meant to be passed directly to cursor methods such as

+| ``|__`` `Identifier`: a PostgreSQL identifier or dot-separated sequence of identifiers
+| ``|__`` `Literal`: a value hardcoded into a query
+| ``|__`` `Placeholder`: a `%s`\ -style placeholder whose value will be added later e.g. by `~psycopg.Cursor.execute()`

+
+`!types` -- Types information and adapters
+==========================================
+
+.. module:: psycopg.types
+
+The `!psycopg.types` package exposes:
+
+- objects to describe PostgreSQL types, such as `TypeInfo`, `TypesRegistry`,
+ to help or :ref:`customise the types conversion <adaptation>`;
+
+- concrete implementations of `~psycopg.abc.Loader` and `~psycopg.abc.Dumper`
+ protocols to :ref:`handle builtin data types <types-adaptation>`;
+
+- helper objects to represent PostgreSQL data types which :ref:`don't have a
+ straightforward Python representation <extra-adaptation>`, such as
+ `~range.Range`.
+
+
+Types information
+-----------------
+
+The `TypeInfo` object describes simple information about a PostgreSQL data
+type, such as its name, oid and array oid. `!TypeInfo` subclasses may hold more
+information, for instance the components of a composite type.
+
+You can use `TypeInfo.fetch()` to query information from a database catalog,
+which is then used by helper functions, such as
+`~psycopg.types.hstore.register_hstore()`, to register adapters on types whose
+OID is not known upfront or to create more specialised adapters.
+
+The `!TypeInfo` object doesn't instruct Psycopg to convert a PostgreSQL type
+into a Python type: this is the role of a `~psycopg.abc.Loader`. However it
+can extend the behaviour of other adapters: if you create a loader for
+`!MyType`, using the `TypeInfo` information, Psycopg will be able to manage
+seamlessly arrays of `!MyType` or ranges and composite types using `!MyType`
+as a subtype.
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`adaptation` describes how to convert from Python objects to
+ PostgreSQL types and back.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from psycopg.adapt import Loader
+ from psycopg.types import TypeInfo
+
+ t = TypeInfo.fetch(conn, "mytype")
+ t.register(conn)
+
+ for record in conn.execute("SELECT mytypearray FROM mytable"):
+ # records will return lists of "mytype" as string
+
+ class MyTypeLoader(Loader):
+ def load(self, data):
+ # parse the data and return a MyType instance
+
+ conn.adapters.register_loader("mytype", MyTypeLoader)
+
+ for record in conn.execute("SELECT mytypearray FROM mytable"):
+ # records will return lists of MyType instances
+
+
+.. autoclass:: TypeInfo

+ .. method:: fetch(aconn, name)

+
+ :param conn: the connection to query
+ :type conn: ~psycopg.Connection or ~psycopg.AsyncConnection
+ :param name: the name of the type to query. It can include a schema
+ name.
+ :type name: `!str` or `~psycopg.sql.Identifier`
+ :return: a `!TypeInfo` object (or subclass) populated with the type
+ information, `!None` if not found.
+
+ If the connection is async, `!fetch()` will behave as a coroutine and
+ the caller will need to `!await` on it to get the result::
+
+ t = await TypeInfo.fetch(aconn, "mytype")
+
+ .. automethod:: register
+
+ :param context: the context where the type is registered, for instance
+ a `~psycopg.Connection` or `~psycopg.Cursor`. `!None` registers
+ the `!TypeInfo` globally.
+ :type context: Optional[~psycopg.abc.AdaptContext]
+
+ Registering the `TypeInfo` in a context allows the adapters of that
+ context to look up type information: for instance it allows to
+ recognise automatically arrays of that type and load them from the
+ database as a list of the base type.
+
+
+In order to get information about dynamic PostgreSQL types, Psycopg offers a
+few `!TypeInfo` subclasses, whose `!fetch()` method can extract more complete
+information about the type, such as `~psycopg.types.composite.CompositeInfo`,
+`~psycopg.types.range.RangeInfo`, `~psycopg.types.multirange.MultirangeInfo`,
+`~psycopg.types.enum.EnumInfo`.
+
+`!TypeInfo` objects are collected in `TypesRegistry` instances, which help type
+information lookup. Every `~psycopg.adapt.AdaptersMap` exposes its type map on
+its `~psycopg.adapt.AdaptersMap.types` attribute.
+
+.. autoclass:: TypesRegistry
+
+ `!TypeRegistry` instances are typically exposed by
+ `~psycopg.adapt.AdaptersMap` objects in adapt contexts such as
+ `~psycopg.Connection` or `~psycopg.Cursor` (e.g. `!conn.adapters.types`).

+
+Adapting basic Python types
+===========================
+
+Many standard Python types are adapted into SQL and returned as Python
+objects when a query is executed.
+
+Converting the following data types between Python and PostgreSQL works
+out-of-the-box and doesn't require any configuration. In case you need to
+customise the conversion you should take a look at :ref:`adaptation`.
+
+
+.. index::
+ pair: Boolean; Adaptation
+
+.. _adapt-bool:
+
+Booleans adaptation
+-------------------
+
+Python `bool` values `!True` and `!False` are converted to the equivalent
+`PostgreSQL boolean type`__::
+
+ >>> cur.execute("SELECT %s, %s", (True, False))
+ # equivalent to "SELECT true, false"

+
+Numbers adaptation
+------------------
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ - `PostgreSQL numeric types
+ <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-numeric.html>`__
+
+- Python `int` values can be converted to PostgreSQL :sql:`smallint`,
+ :sql:`integer`, :sql:`bigint`, or :sql:`numeric`, according to their numeric
+ value. Psycopg will choose the smallest data type available, because
+ PostgreSQL can automatically cast a type up (e.g. passing a `smallint` where
+ PostgreSQL expect an `integer` is gladly accepted) but will not cast down
+ automatically (e.g. if a function has an :sql:`integer` argument, passing it
+ a :sql:`bigint` value will fail, even if the value is 1).
+
+- Python `float` values are converted to PostgreSQL :sql:`float8`.
+
+- Python `~decimal.Decimal` values are converted to PostgreSQL :sql:`numeric`.
+
+On the way back, smaller types (:sql:`int2`, :sql:`int4`, :sql:`float4`) are
+promoted to the larger Python counterpart.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Sometimes you may prefer to receive :sql:`numeric` data as `!float`
+ instead, for performance reason or ease of manipulation: you can configure
+ an adapter to :ref:`cast PostgreSQL numeric to Python float
+ <adapt-example-float>`. This of course may imply a loss of precision.
+
+
+.. index::
+ pair: Strings; Adaptation
+ single: Unicode; Adaptation
+ pair: Encoding; SQL_ASCII
+
+.. _adapt-string:
+
+Strings adaptation
+------------------
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ - `PostgreSQL character types
+ <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-character.html>`__
+
+Python `str` are converted to PostgreSQL string syntax, and PostgreSQL types
+such as :sql:`text` and :sql:`varchar` are converted back to Python `!str`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect()
+ conn.execute(
+ "INSERT INTO menu (id, entry) VALUES (%s, %s)",
+ (1, "Crème Brûlée at 4.99€"))
+ conn.execute("SELECT entry FROM menu WHERE id = 1").fetchone()[0]
+ 'Crème Brûlée at 4.99€'
+
+PostgreSQL databases `have an encoding`__, and `the session has an encoding`__
+too, exposed in the `!Connection.info.`\ `~ConnectionInfo.encoding`
+attribute. If your database and connection are in UTF-8 encoding you will
+likely have no problem, otherwise you will have to make sure that your
+application only deals with the non-ASCII chars that the database can handle;
+failing to do so may result in encoding/decoding errors:
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createdatabase.html
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/multibyte.html
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ # The encoding is set at connection time according to the db configuration
+ conn.info.encoding
+ 'utf-8'
+
+ # The Latin-9 encoding can manage some European accented letters
+ # and the Euro symbol
+ conn.execute("SET client_encoding TO LATIN9")
+ conn.execute("SELECT entry FROM menu WHERE id = 1").fetchone()[0]
+ 'Crème Brûlée at 4.99€'
+
+ # The Latin-1 encoding doesn't have a representation for the Euro symbol
+ conn.execute("SET client_encoding TO LATIN1")
+ conn.execute("SELECT entry FROM menu WHERE id = 1").fetchone()[0]
+ # Traceback (most recent call last)
+ # ...
+ # UntranslatableCharacter: character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x82 0xac
+ # in encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in encoding "LATIN1"
+
+In rare cases you may have strings with unexpected encodings in the database.
+Using the ``SQL_ASCII`` client encoding will disable decoding of the data
+coming from the database, which will be returned as `bytes`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn.execute("SET client_encoding TO SQL_ASCII")
+ conn.execute("SELECT entry FROM menu WHERE id = 1").fetchone()[0]
+ b'Cr\xc3\xa8me Br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e at 4.99\xe2\x82\xac'
+
+Alternatively you can cast the unknown encoding data to :sql:`bytea` to
+retrieve it as bytes, leaving other strings unaltered: see :ref:`adapt-binary`
+
+Note that PostgreSQL text cannot contain the ``0x00`` byte. If you need to
+store Python strings that may contain binary zeros you should use a
+:sql:`bytea` field.
+
+
+.. index::
+ single: bytea; Adaptation
+ single: bytes; Adaptation
+ single: bytearray; Adaptation
+ single: memoryview; Adaptation
+ single: Binary string
+
+.. _adapt-binary:
+
+Binary adaptation
+-----------------
+
+Python types representing binary objects (`bytes`, `bytearray`, `memoryview`)
+are converted by default to :sql:`bytea` fields. By default data received is
+returned as `!bytes`.
+
+If you are storing large binary data in bytea fields (such as binary documents
+or images) you should probably use the binary format to pass and return
+values, otherwise binary data will undergo `ASCII escaping`__, taking some CPU
+time and more bandwidth. See :ref:`binary-data` for details.
+

+.. _adapt-date:
+
+Date/time types adaptation
+--------------------------
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ - `PostgreSQL date/time types
+ <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html>`__
+
+- Python `~datetime.date` objects are converted to PostgreSQL :sql:`date`.
+- Python `~datetime.datetime` objects are converted to PostgreSQL
+ :sql:`timestamp` (if they don't have a `!tzinfo` set) or :sql:`timestamptz`
+ (if they do).
+- Python `~datetime.time` objects are converted to PostgreSQL :sql:`time`
+ (if they don't have a `!tzinfo` set) or :sql:`timetz` (if they do).
+- Python `~datetime.timedelta` objects are converted to PostgreSQL
+ :sql:`interval`.
+
+PostgreSQL :sql:`timestamptz` values are returned with a timezone set to the
+`connection TimeZone setting`__, which is available as a Python
+`~zoneinfo.ZoneInfo` object in the `!Connection.info`.\ `~ConnectionInfo.timezone`
+attribute::
+
+ >>> conn.info.timezone
+ zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='Europe/London')
+
+ >>> conn.execute("select '2048-07-08 12:00'::timestamptz").fetchone()[0]
+ datetime.datetime(2048, 7, 8, 12, 0, tzinfo=zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='Europe/London'))
+
+.. note::
+ PostgreSQL :sql:`timestamptz` doesn't store "a timestamp with a timezone
+ attached": it stores a timestamp always in UTC, which is converted, on
+ output, to the connection TimeZone setting::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SET TIMEZONE to 'Europe/Rome'") # UTC+2 in summer
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT '2042-07-01 12:00Z'::timestamptz").fetchone()[0] # UTC input

+
+
+.. _adapt-json:
+
+JSON adaptation
+---------------
+
+Psycopg can map between Python objects and PostgreSQL `json/jsonb
+types`__, allowing to customise the load and dump function used.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html
+
+Because several Python objects could be considered JSON (dicts, lists,
+scalars, even date/time if using a dumps function customised to use them),
+Psycopg requires you to wrap the object to dump as JSON into a wrapper:
+either `psycopg.types.json.Json` or `~psycopg.types.json.Jsonb`.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from psycopg.types.json import Jsonb
+
+ thing = {"foo": ["bar", 42]}
+ conn.execute("INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (%s)", [Jsonb(thing)])
+
+By default Psycopg uses the standard library `json.dumps` and `json.loads`
+functions to serialize and de-serialize Python objects to JSON. If you want to
+customise how serialization happens, for instance changing serialization
+parameters or using a different JSON library, you can specify your own
+functions using the `psycopg.types.json.set_json_dumps()` and
+`~psycopg.types.json.set_json_loads()` functions, to apply either globally or
+to a specific context (connection or cursor).
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from functools import partial
+ from psycopg.types.json import Jsonb, set_json_dumps, set_json_loads
+ import ujson
+
+ # Use a faster dump function
+ set_json_dumps(ujson.dumps)
+
+ # Return floating point values as Decimal, just in one connection
+ set_json_loads(partial(json.loads, parse_float=Decimal), conn)
+
+ conn.execute("SELECT %s", [Jsonb({"value": 123.45})]).fetchone()[0]
+ # {'value': Decimal('123.45')}
+
+If you need an even more specific dump customisation only for certain objects
+(including different configurations in the same query) you can specify a
+`!dumps` parameter in the
+`~psycopg.types.json.Json`/`~psycopg.types.json.Jsonb` wrapper, which will
+take precedence over what is specified by `!set_json_dumps()`.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from uuid import UUID, uuid4
+
+ class UUIDEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
+ """A JSON encoder which can dump UUID."""
+ def default(self, obj):
+ if isinstance(obj, UUID):
+ return str(obj)
+ return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)
+
+ uuid_dumps = partial(json.dumps, cls=UUIDEncoder)
+ obj = {"uuid": uuid4()}
+ cnn.execute("INSERT INTO objs VALUES %s", [Json(obj, dumps=uuid_dumps)])
+ # will insert: {'uuid': '0a40799d-3980-4c65-8315-2956b18ab0e1'}
+
+
+.. _adapt-list:
+
+Lists adaptation
+----------------
+
+Python `list` objects are adapted to `PostgreSQL arrays`__ and back. Only
+lists containing objects of the same type can be dumped to PostgreSQL (but the
+list may contain `!None` elements).
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/arrays.html
+
+.. note::
+
+ If you have a list of values which you want to use with the :sql:`IN`
+ operator... don't. It won't work (neither with a list nor with a tuple)::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id IN %s", [[10,20,30]])
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+ psycopg.errors.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "$1"
+ LINE 1: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id IN $1
+ ^
+
+ What you want to do instead is to use the `'= ANY()' expression`__ and pass
+ the values as a list (not a tuple).
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id = ANY(%s)", [[10,20,30]])
+
+ This has also the advantage of working with an empty list, whereas ``IN
+ ()`` is not valid SQL.
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-comparisons.html
+ #id-1.5.8.30.16
+
+
+.. _adapt-uuid:
+
+UUID adaptation
+---------------
+
+Python `uuid.UUID` objects are adapted to PostgreSQL `UUID type`__ and back::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("select gen_random_uuid()").fetchone()[0]
+ UUID('97f0dd62-3bd2-459e-89b8-a5e36ea3c16c')
+
+ >>> from uuid import uuid4

+ False # long shot
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-uuid.html
+
+
+.. _adapt-network:
+
+Network data types adaptation
+-----------------------------
+
+Objects from the `ipaddress` module are converted to PostgreSQL `network
+address types`__:
+
+- `~ipaddress.IPv4Address`, `~ipaddress.IPv4Interface` objects are converted
+ to the PostgreSQL :sql:`inet` type. On the way back, :sql:`inet` values
+ indicating a single address are converted to `!IPv4Address`, otherwise they
+ are converted to `!IPv4Interface`
+
+- `~ipaddress.IPv4Network` objects are converted to the :sql:`cidr` type and
+ back.
+
+- `~ipaddress.IPv6Address`, `~ipaddress.IPv6Interface`,
+ `~ipaddress.IPv6Network` objects follow the same rules, with IPv6
+ :sql:`inet` and :sql:`cidr` values.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-net-types.html#DATATYPE-CIDR
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ >>> conn.execute("select '192.168.0.1'::inet, '192.168.0.1/24'::inet").fetchone()
+ (IPv4Address('192.168.0.1'), IPv4Interface('192.168.0.1/24'))
+
+ >>> conn.execute("select '::ffff:1.2.3.0/120'::cidr").fetchone()[0]
+ IPv6Network('::ffff:102:300/120')
+
+
+.. _adapt-enum:
+
+Enum adaptation
+---------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+Psycopg can adapt Python `~enum.Enum` subclasses into PostgreSQL enum types
+(created with the |CREATE TYPE AS ENUM|_ command).
+
+.. |CREATE TYPE AS ENUM| replace:: :sql:`CREATE TYPE ... AS ENUM (...)`
+.. _CREATE TYPE AS ENUM: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-enum.html
+
+In order to set up a bidirectional enum mapping, you should get information
+about the PostgreSQL enum using the `~types.enum.EnumInfo` class and
+register it using `~types.enum.register_enum()`. The behaviour of unregistered
+and registered enums is different.
+
+- If the enum is not registered with `register_enum()`:
+
+ - Pure `!Enum` classes are dumped as normal strings, using their member
+ names as value. The unknown oid is used, so PostgreSQL should be able to
+ use this string in most contexts (such as an enum or a text field).
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.1
+ In previous version dumping pure enums is not supported and raise a
+ "cannot adapt" error.
+
+ - Mix-in enums are dumped according to their mix-in type (because a `class
+ MyIntEnum(int, Enum)` is more specifically an `!int` than an `!Enum`, so
+ it's dumped by default according to `!int` rules).
+
+ - PostgreSQL enums are loaded as Python strings. If you want to load arrays
+ of such enums you will have to find their OIDs using `types.TypeInfo.fetch()`
+ and register them using `~types.TypeInfo.register()`.
+
+- If the enum is registered (using `~types.enum.EnumInfo`\ `!.fetch()` and
+ `~types.enum.register_enum()`):
+
+ - Enums classes, both pure and mixed-in, are dumped by name.
+
+ - The registered PostgreSQL enum is loaded back as the registered Python
+ enum members.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.types.enum.EnumInfo
+
+ `!EnumInfo` is a subclass of `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo`: refer to the
+ latter's documentation for generic usage, especially the
+ `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo.fetch()` method.
+
+ .. attribute:: labels
+
+ After `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo.fetch()`, it contains the labels defined
+ in the PostgreSQL enum type.
+
+ .. attribute:: enum
+
+ After `register_enum()` is called, it will contain the Python type
+ mapping to the registered enum.
+
+.. autofunction:: psycopg.types.enum.register_enum
+
+ After registering, fetching data of the registered enum will cast
+ PostgreSQL enum labels into corresponding Python enum members.
+
+ If no `!enum` is specified, a new `Enum` is created based on
+ PostgreSQL enum labels.
+
+Example::
+
+ >>> from enum import Enum, auto
+ >>> from psycopg.types.enum import EnumInfo, register_enum
+
+ >>> class UserRole(Enum):
+ ... ADMIN = auto()
+ ... EDITOR = auto()
+ ... GUEST = auto()
+
+ >>> conn.execute("CREATE TYPE user_role AS ENUM ('ADMIN', 'EDITOR', 'GUEST')")
+
+ >>> info = EnumInfo.fetch(conn, "user_role")
+ >>> register_enum(info, conn, UserRole)
+
+ >>> some_editor = info.enum.EDITOR
+ >>> some_editor
+ <UserRole.EDITOR: 2>
+
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... "SELECT pg_typeof(%(editor)s), %(editor)s",
+ ... {"editor": some_editor}
+ ... ).fetchone()
+ ('user_role', <UserRole.EDITOR: 2>)
+
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... "SELECT ARRAY[%s, %s]",
+ ... [UserRole.ADMIN, UserRole.GUEST]
+ ... ).fetchone()
+ [<UserRole.ADMIN: 1>, <UserRole.GUEST: 3>]
+
+If the Python and the PostgreSQL enum don't match 1:1 (for instance if members
+have a different name, or if more than one Python enum should map to the same
+PostgreSQL enum, or vice versa), you can specify the exceptions using the
+`!mapping` parameter.
+
+`!mapping` should be a dictionary with Python enum members as keys and the
+matching PostgreSQL enum labels as values, or a list of `(member, label)`
+pairs with the same meaning (useful when some members are repeated). Order
+matters: if an element on either side is specified more than once, the last
+pair in the sequence will take precedence::
+
+ # Legacy roles, defined in medieval times.
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... "CREATE TYPE abbey_role AS ENUM ('ABBOT', 'SCRIBE', 'MONK', 'GUEST')")
+
+ >>> info = EnumInfo.fetch(conn, "abbey_role")
+ >>> register_enum(info, conn, UserRole, mapping=[
+ ... (UserRole.ADMIN, "ABBOT"),
+ ... (UserRole.EDITOR, "SCRIBE"),
+ ... (UserRole.EDITOR, "MONK")])
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT '{ABBOT,SCRIBE,MONK,GUEST}'::abbey_role[]").fetchone()[0]
+ [<UserRole.ADMIN: 1>,
+ <UserRole.EDITOR: 2>,
+ <UserRole.EDITOR: 2>,
+ <UserRole.GUEST: 3>]
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT %s::text[]", [list(UserRole)]).fetchone()[0]
+ ['ABBOT', 'MONK', 'GUEST']
+
+A particularly useful case is when the PostgreSQL labels match the *values* of
+a `!str`\-based Enum. In this case it is possible to use something like ``{m:
+m.value for m in enum}`` as mapping::
+
+ >>> class LowercaseRole(str, Enum):
+ ... ADMIN = "admin"
+ ... EDITOR = "editor"
+ ... GUEST = "guest"
+
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... "CREATE TYPE lowercase_role AS ENUM ('admin', 'editor', 'guest')")
+
+ >>> info = EnumInfo.fetch(conn, "lowercase_role")
+ >>> register_enum(
+ ... info, conn, LowercaseRole, mapping={m: m.value for m in LowercaseRole})
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT 'editor'::lowercase_role").fetchone()[0]
+ <LowercaseRole.EDITOR: 'editor'>

+ pair: COPY; SQL command
+
+.. _copy:
+
+Using COPY TO and COPY FROM
+===========================
+
+Psycopg allows to operate with `PostgreSQL COPY protocol`__. :sql:`COPY` is
+one of the most efficient ways to load data into the database (and to modify
+it, with some SQL creativity).
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-copy.html
+
+Copy is supported using the `Cursor.copy()` method, passing it a query of the
+form :sql:`COPY ... FROM STDIN` or :sql:`COPY ... TO STDOUT`, and managing the
+resulting `Copy` object in a `!with` block:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with cursor.copy("COPY table_name (col1, col2) FROM STDIN") as copy:
+ # pass data to the 'copy' object using write()/write_row()
+
+You can compose a COPY statement dynamically by using objects from the
+`psycopg.sql` module:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with cursor.copy(
+ sql.SQL("COPY {} TO STDOUT").format(sql.Identifier("table_name"))
+ ) as copy:
+ # read data from the 'copy' object using read()/read_row()
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.1
+
+ You can also pass parameters to `!copy()`, like in `~Cursor.execute()`:
+
+ .. code:: python
+
+ with cur.copy("COPY (SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT %s) TO STDOUT", (3,)) as copy:
+ # expect no more than three records
+
+The connection is subject to the usual transaction behaviour, so, unless the
+connection is in autocommit, at the end of the COPY operation you will still
+have to commit the pending changes and you can still roll them back. See
+:ref:`transactions` for details.
+
+
+.. _copy-in-row:
+
+Writing data row-by-row
+-----------------------
+
+Using a copy operation you can load data into the database from any Python
+iterable (a list of tuples, or any iterable of sequences): the Python values
+are adapted as they would be in normal querying. To perform such operation use
+a :sql:`COPY ... FROM STDIN` with `Cursor.copy()` and use `~Copy.write_row()`
+on the resulting object in a `!with` block. On exiting the block the
+operation will be concluded:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ records = [(10, 20, "hello"), (40, None, "world")]
+
+ with cursor.copy("COPY sample (col1, col2, col3) FROM STDIN") as copy:
+ for record in records:
+ copy.write_row(record)
+
+If an exception is raised inside the block, the operation is interrupted and
+the records inserted so far are discarded.
+
+In order to read or write from `!Copy` row-by-row you must not specify
+:sql:`COPY` options such as :sql:`FORMAT CSV`, :sql:`DELIMITER`, :sql:`NULL`:
+please leave these details alone, thank you :)
+
+
+.. _copy-out-row:
+
+Reading data row-by-row
+-----------------------
+
+You can also do the opposite, reading rows out of a :sql:`COPY ... TO STDOUT`
+operation, by iterating on `~Copy.rows()`. However this is not something you
+may want to do normally: usually the normal query process will be easier to
+use.
+
+PostgreSQL, currently, doesn't give complete type information on :sql:`COPY
+TO`, so the rows returned will have unparsed data, as strings or bytes,
+according to the format.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with cur.copy("COPY (VALUES (10::int, current_date)) TO STDOUT") as copy:
+ for row in copy.rows():
+ print(row) # return unparsed data: ('10', '2046-12-24')
+
+You can improve the results by using `~Copy.set_types()` before reading, but
+you have to specify them yourself.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with cur.copy("COPY (VALUES (10::int, current_date)) TO STDOUT") as copy:
+ copy.set_types(["int4", "date"])
+ for row in copy.rows():
+ print(row) # (10, datetime.date(2046, 12, 24))
+
+
+.. _copy-block:
+
+Copying block-by-block
+----------------------
+
+If data is already formatted in a way suitable for copy (for instance because
+it is coming from a file resulting from a previous `COPY TO` operation) it can
+be loaded into the database using `Copy.write()` instead.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with open("data", "r") as f:
+ with cursor.copy("COPY data FROM STDIN") as copy:
+ while data := f.read(BLOCK_SIZE):
+ copy.write(data)
+
+In this case you can use any :sql:`COPY` option and format, as long as the
+input data is compatible with what the operation in `!copy()` expects. Data
+can be passed as `!str`, if the copy is in :sql:`FORMAT TEXT`, or as `!bytes`,
+which works with both :sql:`FORMAT TEXT` and :sql:`FORMAT BINARY`.
+
+In order to produce data in :sql:`COPY` format you can use a :sql:`COPY ... TO
+STDOUT` statement and iterate over the resulting `Copy` object, which will
+produce a stream of `!bytes` objects:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with open("data.out", "wb") as f:
+ with cursor.copy("COPY table_name TO STDOUT") as copy:
+ for data in copy:
+ f.write(data)
+
+
+.. _copy-binary:
+
+Binary copy
+-----------
+
+Binary copy is supported by specifying :sql:`FORMAT BINARY` in the :sql:`COPY`
+statement. In order to import binary data using `~Copy.write_row()`, all the
+types passed to the database must have a binary dumper registered; this is not
+necessary if the data is copied :ref:`block-by-block <copy-block>` using
+`~Copy.write()`.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ PostgreSQL is particularly finicky when loading data in binary mode and
+ will apply **no cast rules**. This means, for example, that passing the
+ value 100 to an `integer` column **will fail**, because Psycopg will pass
+ it as a `smallint` value, and the server will reject it because its size
+ doesn't match what expected.
+
+ You can work around the problem using the `~Copy.set_types()` method of
+ the `!Copy` object and specifying carefully the types to load.
+
+.. seealso:: See :ref:`binary-data` for further info about binary querying.
+
+
+.. _copy-async:
+
+Asynchronous copy support
+-------------------------
+
+Asynchronous operations are supported using the same patterns as above, using
+the objects obtained by an `AsyncConnection`. For instance, if `!f` is an
+object supporting an asynchronous `!read()` method returning :sql:`COPY` data,
+a fully-async copy operation could be:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ async with cursor.copy("COPY data FROM STDIN") as copy:
+ while data := await f.read():
+ await copy.write(data)
+
+The `AsyncCopy` object documentation describes the signature of the
+asynchronous methods and the differences from its sync `Copy` counterpart.
+
+.. seealso:: See :ref:`async` for further info about using async objects.
+
+
+Example: copying a table across servers
+---------------------------------------
+
+In order to copy a table, or a portion of a table, across servers, you can use
+two COPY operations on two different connections, reading from the first and
+writing to the second.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with psycopg.connect(dsn_src) as conn1, psycopg.connect(dsn_tgt) as conn2:
+ with conn1.cursor().copy("COPY src TO STDOUT (FORMAT BINARY)") as copy1:
+ with conn2.cursor().copy("COPY tgt FROM STDIN (FORMAT BINARY)") as copy2:
+ for data in copy1:
+ copy2.write(data)
+
+Using :sql:`FORMAT BINARY` usually gives a performance boost, but it only
+works if the source and target schema are *perfectly identical*. If the tables
+are only *compatible* (for example, if you are copying an :sql:`integer` field
+into a :sql:`bigint` destination field) you should omit the `BINARY` option and
+perform a text-based copy. See :ref:`copy-binary` for details.
+
+The same pattern can be adapted to use :ref:`async objects <async>` in order
+to perform an :ref:`async copy <copy-async>`.

+
+.. _from-psycopg2:
+
+
+Differences from `!psycopg2`
+============================
+
+Psycopg 3 uses the common DBAPI structure of many other database adapters and
+tries to behave as close as possible to `!psycopg2`. There are however a few
+differences to be aware of.
+
+.. tip::
+ Most of the times, the workarounds suggested here will work with both
+ Psycopg 2 and 3, which could be useful if you are porting a program or
+ writing a program that should work with both Psycopg 2 and 3.
+
+
+.. _server-side-binding:
+
+Server-side binding
+-------------------
+
+Psycopg 3 sends the query and the parameters to the server separately, instead
+of merging them on the client side. Server-side binding works for normal
+:sql:`SELECT` and data manipulation statements (:sql:`INSERT`, :sql:`UPDATE`,
+:sql:`DELETE`), but it doesn't work with many other statements. For instance,
+it doesn't work with :sql:`SET` or with :sql:`NOTIFY`::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SET TimeZone TO %s", ["UTC"])
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "$1"
+ LINE 1: SET TimeZone TO $1
+ ^
+
+ >>> conn.execute("NOTIFY %s, %s", ["chan", 42])
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "$1"
+ LINE 1: NOTIFY $1, $2
+ ^
+
+and with any data definition statement::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("CREATE TABLE foo (id int DEFAULT %s)", [42])
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.UndefinedParameter: there is no parameter $1
+ LINE 1: CREATE TABLE foo (id int DEFAULT $1)
+ ^
+
+Sometimes, PostgreSQL offers an alternative: for instance the `set_config()`__
+function can be used instead of the :sql:`SET` statement, the `pg_notify()`__
+function can be used instead of :sql:`NOTIFY`::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT set_config('TimeZone', %s, false)", ["UTC"])
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT pg_notify(%s, %s)", ["chan", "42"])
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-admin.html
+ #FUNCTIONS-ADMIN-SET
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-notify.html
+ #id-1.9.3.157.7.5
+
+If this is not possible, you must merge the query and the parameter on the
+client side. You can do so using the `psycopg.sql` objects::
+
+ >>> from psycopg import sql
+
+ >>> cur.execute(sql.SQL("CREATE TABLE foo (id int DEFAULT {})").format(42))
+
+or creating a :ref:`client-side binding cursor <client-side-binding-cursors>`
+such as `ClientCursor`::
+
+ >>> cur = ClientCursor(conn)
+ >>> cur.execute("CREATE TABLE foo (id int DEFAULT %s)", [42])
+
+If you need `!ClientCursor` often, you can set the `Connection.cursor_factory`
+to have them created by default by `Connection.cursor()`. This way, Psycopg 3
+will behave largely the same way of Psycopg 2.
+
+Note that, both server-side and client-side, you can only specify **values**
+as parameters (i.e. *the strings that go in single quotes*). If you need to
+parametrize different parts of a statement (such as a table name), you must
+use the `psycopg.sql` module::
+
+ >>> from psycopg import sql
+
+ # This will quote the user and the password using the right quotes
+ # e.g.: ALTER USER "foo" SET PASSWORD 'bar'
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... sql.SQL("ALTER USER {} SET PASSWORD {}")
+ ... .format(sql.Identifier(username), password))
+
+
+.. _multi-statements:
+
+Multiple statements in the same query
+-------------------------------------
+
+As a consequence of using :ref:`server-side bindings <server-side-binding>`,
+when parameters are used, it is not possible to execute several statements in
+the same `!execute()` call, separating them by semicolon::
+
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... "INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s); INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)",
+ ... (10, 20))
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.SyntaxError: cannot insert multiple commands into a prepared statement
+
+One obvious way to work around the problem is to use several `!execute()`
+calls.
+
+**There is no such limitation if no parameters are used**. As a consequence, you
+can compose a multiple query on the client side and run them all in the same
+`!execute()` call, using the `psycopg.sql` objects::
+
+ >>> from psycopg import sql
+ >>> conn.execute(
+ ... sql.SQL("INSERT INTO foo VALUES ({}); INSERT INTO foo values ({})"
+ ... .format(10, 20))
+
+or a :ref:`client-side binding cursor <client-side-binding-cursors>`::
+
+ >>> cur = psycopg.ClientCursor(conn)
+ >>> cur.execute(
+ ... "INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s); INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)",
+ ... (10, 20))
+
+.. warning::
+
+ If a statements must be executed outside a transaction (such as
+ :sql:`CREATE DATABASE`), it cannot be executed in batch with other
+ statements, even if the connection is in autocommit mode::
+
+ >>> conn.autocommit = True
+ >>> conn.execute("CREATE DATABASE foo; SELECT 1")
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.ActiveSqlTransaction: CREATE DATABASE cannot run inside a transaction block
+
+ This happens because PostgreSQL itself will wrap multiple statements in a
+ transaction. Note that your will experience a different behaviour in
+ :program:`psql` (:program:`psql` will split the queries on semicolons and
+ send them to the server separately).
+
+ This is not new in Psycopg 3: the same limitation is present in
+ `!psycopg2` too.
+
+
+.. _multi-results:
+
+Multiple results returned from multiple statements
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+If more than one statement returning results is executed in psycopg2, only the
+result of the last statement is returned::
+
+ >>> cur_pg2.execute("SELECT 1; SELECT 2")
+ >>> cur_pg2.fetchone()
+ (2,)
+
+In Psycopg 3 instead, all the results are available. After running the query,
+the first result will be readily available in the cursor and can be consumed
+using the usual `!fetch*()` methods. In order to access the following
+results, you can use the `Cursor.nextset()` method::
+
+ >>> cur_pg3.execute("SELECT 1; SELECT 2")
+ >>> cur_pg3.fetchone()
+ (1,)
+
+ >>> cur_pg3.nextset()
+ True
+ >>> cur_pg3.fetchone()
+ (2,)
+
+ >>> cur_pg3.nextset()
+ None # no more results
+
+Remember though that you cannot use server-side bindings to :ref:`execute more
+than one statement in the same query <multi-statements>`.
+
+
+.. _difference-cast-rules:
+
+Different cast rules
+--------------------
+
+In rare cases, especially around variadic functions, PostgreSQL might fail to
+find a function candidate for the given data types::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT json_build_array(%s, %s)", ["foo", "bar"])
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.IndeterminateDatatype: could not determine data type of parameter $1
+
+This can be worked around specifying the argument types explicitly via a cast::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT json_build_array(%s::text, %s::text)", ["foo", "bar"])
+
+
+.. _in-and-tuple:
+
+You cannot use ``IN %s`` with a tuple
+-------------------------------------
+
+``IN`` cannot be used with a tuple as single parameter, as was possible with
+``psycopg2``::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id IN %s", [(10,20,30)])
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ psycopg.errors.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "$1"
+ LINE 1: SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id IN $1
+ ^
+
+What you can do is to use the `= ANY()`__ construct and pass the candidate
+values as a list instead of a tuple, which will be adapted to a PostgreSQL
+array::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id = ANY(%s)", [[10,20,30]])
+
+Note that `ANY()` can be used with `!psycopg2` too, and has the advantage of
+accepting an empty list of values too as argument, which is not supported by
+the :sql:`IN` operator instead.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-comparisons.html
+ #id-1.5.8.30.16
+
+
+.. _diff-adapt:
+
+Different adaptation system
+---------------------------
+
+The adaptation system has been completely rewritten, in order to address
+server-side parameters adaptation, but also to consider performance,
+flexibility, ease of customization.
+
+The default behaviour with builtin data should be :ref:`what you would expect
+<types-adaptation>`. If you have customised the way to adapt data, or if you
+are managing your own extension types, you should look at the :ref:`new
+adaptation system <adaptation>`.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ - :ref:`types-adaptation` for the basic behaviour.
+ - :ref:`adaptation` for more advanced use.
+
+
+.. _diff-copy:
+
+Copy is no longer file-based
+----------------------------
+
+`!psycopg2` exposes :ref:`a few copy methods <pg2:copy>` to interact with
+PostgreSQL :sql:`COPY`. Their file-based interface doesn't make it easy to load
+dynamically-generated data into a database.
+
+There is now a single `~Cursor.copy()` method, which is similar to
+`!psycopg2` `!copy_expert()` in accepting a free-form :sql:`COPY` command and
+returns an object to read/write data, block-wise or record-wise. The different
+usage pattern also enables :sql:`COPY` to be used in async interactions.
+
+.. seealso:: See :ref:`copy` for the details.
+
+
+.. _diff-with:
+
+`!with` connection
+------------------
+
+In `!psycopg2`, using the syntax :ref:`with connection <pg2:with>`,
+only the transaction is closed, not the connection. This behaviour is
+surprising for people used to several other Python classes wrapping resources,
+such as files.
+
+In Psycopg 3, using :ref:`with connection <with-connection>` will close the
+connection at the end of the `!with` block, making handling the connection
+resources more familiar.
+
+In order to manage transactions as blocks you can use the
+`Connection.transaction()` method, which allows for finer control, for
+instance to use nested transactions.
+
+.. seealso:: See :ref:`transaction-context` for details.
+
+
+.. _diff-callproc:
+
+`!callproc()` is gone
+---------------------
+
+`cursor.callproc()` is not implemented. The method has a simplistic semantic
+which doesn't account for PostgreSQL positional parameters, procedures,
+set-returning functions... Use a normal `~Cursor.execute()` with :sql:`SELECT
+function_name(...)` or :sql:`CALL procedure_name(...)` instead.
+
+
+.. _diff-client-encoding:
+
+`!client_encoding` is gone
+--------------------------
+
+Psycopg automatically uses the database client encoding to decode data to
+Unicode strings. Use `ConnectionInfo.encoding` if you need to read the
+encoding. You can select an encoding at connection time using the
+`!client_encoding` connection parameter and you can change the encoding of a
+connection by running a :sql:`SET client_encoding` statement... But why would
+you?
+
+
+.. _infinity-datetime:
+
+No default infinity dates handling
+----------------------------------
+
+PostgreSQL can represent a much wider range of dates and timestamps than
+Python. While Python dates are limited to the years between 1 and 9999
+(represented by constants such as `datetime.date.min` and
+`~datetime.date.max`), PostgreSQL dates extend to BC dates and past the year
+10K. Furthermore PostgreSQL can also represent symbolic dates "infinity", in
+both directions.
+
+In psycopg2, by default, `infinity dates and timestamps map to 'date.max'`__
+and similar constants. This has the problem of creating a non-bijective
+mapping (two Postgres dates, infinity and 9999-12-31, both map to the same
+Python date). There is also the perversity that valid Postgres dates, greater
+than Python `!date.max` but arguably lesser than infinity, will still
+overflow.
+
+In Psycopg 3, every date greater than year 9999 will overflow, including
+infinity. If you would like to customize this mapping (for instance flattening
+every date past Y10K on `!date.max`) you can subclass and adapt the
+appropriate loaders: take a look at :ref:`this example
+<adapt-example-inf-date>` to see how.
+
+.. __: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/usage.html#infinite-dates-handling

+============
+
+In short, if you use a :ref:`supported system<supported-systems>`::
+
+ pip install --upgrade pip # upgrade pip to at least 20.3
+ pip install "psycopg[binary]"
+
+and you should be :ref:`ready to start <module-usage>`. Read further for

+.. _supported-systems:
+
+Supported systems
+-----------------
+
+The Psycopg version documented here has *official and tested* support for:
+
+- Python: from version 3.7 to 3.11
+
+ - Python 3.6 supported before Psycopg 3.1
+
+- PostgreSQL: from version 10 to 15
+- OS: Linux, macOS, Windows
+
+The tests to verify the supported systems run in `Github workflows`__:
+anything that is not tested there is not officially supported. This includes:
+
+.. __: https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg/actions
+
+- Unofficial Python distributions such as Conda;
+- Alternative PostgreSQL implementation;
+- macOS hardware and releases not available on Github workflows.
+
+If you use an unsupported system, things might work (because, for instance, the

+
+Binary installation
+-------------------
+
+The quickest way to start developing with Psycopg 3 is to install the binary
+packages by running::
+
+ pip install "psycopg[binary]"
+
+This will install a self-contained package with all the libraries needed.
+**You will need pip 20.3 at least**: please run ``pip install --upgrade pip``
+to update it beforehand.
+
+The above package should work in most situations. It **will not work** in
+some cases though.
+
+If your platform is not supported you should proceed to a :ref:`local
+installation <local-installation>` or a :ref:`pure Python installation
+<pure-python-installation>`.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ Did Psycopg 3 install ok? Great! You can now move on to the :ref:`basic
+ module usage <module-usage>` to learn how it works.
+
+ Keep on reading if the above method didn't work and you need a different
+ way to install Psycopg 3.
+
+ For further information about the differences between the packages see
+ :ref:`pq-impl`.
+
+
+.. _local-installation:
+
+Local installation
+------------------
+
+A "Local installation" results in a performing and maintainable library. The
+library will include the speed-up C module and will be linked to the system
+libraries (``libpq``, ``libssl``...) so that system upgrade of libraries will
+upgrade the libraries used by Psycopg 3 too. This is the preferred way to
+install Psycopg for a production site.
+
+In order to perform a local installation you need some prerequisites:
+
+- a C compiler,
+- Python development headers (e.g. the ``python3-dev`` package).
+- PostgreSQL client development headers (e.g. the ``libpq-dev`` package).
+- The :program:`pg_config` program available in the :envvar:`PATH`.
+
+You **must be able** to troubleshoot an extension build, for instance you must
+be able to read your compiler's error message. If you are not, please don't
+try this and follow the `binary installation`_ instead.
+
+If your build prerequisites are in place you can run::
+
+ pip install "psycopg[c]"
+
+
+.. _pure-python-installation:
+
+Pure Python installation
+------------------------
+
+If you simply install::
+
+ pip install psycopg
+
+without ``[c]`` or ``[binary]`` extras you will obtain a pure Python
+implementation. This is particularly handy to debug and hack, but it still
+requires the system libpq to operate (which will be imported dynamically via
+`ctypes`).
+
+In order to use the pure Python installation you will need the ``libpq``
+installed in the system: for instance on Debian system you will probably
+need::
+
+ sudo apt install libpq5
+
+.. note::
+
+ The ``libpq`` is the client library used by :program:`psql`, the
+ PostgreSQL command line client, to connect to the database. On most
+ systems, installing :program:`psql` will install the ``libpq`` too as a
+ dependency.
+
+If you are not able to fulfill this requirement please follow the `binary
+installation`_.
+
+
+.. _pool-installation:
+
+Installing the connection pool
+------------------------------
+
+The :ref:`Psycopg connection pools <connection-pools>` are distributed in a
+separate package from the `!psycopg` package itself, in order to allow a
+different release cycle.
+
+In order to use the pool you must install the ``pool`` extra, using ``pip
+install "psycopg[pool]"``, or install the `psycopg_pool` package separately,
+which would allow to specify the release to install more precisely.
+
+
+Handling dependencies
+---------------------
+
+If you need to specify your project dependencies (for instance in a
+``requirements.txt`` file, ``setup.py``, ``pyproject.toml`` dependencies...)
+you should probably specify one of the following:
+
+- If your project is a library, add a dependency on ``psycopg``. This will
+ make sure that your library will have the ``psycopg`` package with the right
+ interface and leaves the possibility of choosing a specific implementation
+ to the end user of your library.
+
+- If your project is a final application (e.g. a service running on a server)
+ you can require a specific implementation, for instance ``psycopg[c]``,
+ after you have made sure that the prerequisites are met (e.g. the depending
+ libraries and tools are installed in the host machine).
+
+In both cases you can specify which version of Psycopg to use using
+`requirement specifiers`__.
+
+.. __: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#requirement-specifiers
+
+If you want to make sure that a specific implementation is used you can
+specify the :envvar:`PSYCOPG_IMPL` environment variable: importing the library
+will fail if the implementation specified is not available. See :ref:`pq-impl`.

+ pair: Query; Parameters
+
+.. _query-parameters:
+
+Passing parameters to SQL queries
+=================================
+
+Most of the times, writing a program you will have to mix bits of SQL
+statements with values provided by the rest of the program:
+
+.. code::
+
+ SELECT some, fields FROM some_table WHERE id = ...
+
+:sql:`id` equals what? Probably you will have a Python value you are looking
+for.
+
+
+`!execute()` arguments
+----------------------
+
+Passing parameters to a SQL statement happens in functions such as
+`Cursor.execute()` by using ``%s`` placeholders in the SQL statement, and
+passing a sequence of values as the second argument of the function. For
+example the Python function call:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ cur.execute("""
+ INSERT INTO some_table (id, created_at, last_name)
+ VALUES (%s, %s, %s);
+ """,
+ (10, datetime.date(2020, 11, 18), "O'Reilly"))
+
+is *roughly* equivalent to the SQL command:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+ INSERT INTO some_table (id, created_at, last_name)
+ VALUES (10, '2020-11-18', 'O''Reilly');
+
+Note that the parameters will not be really merged to the query: query and the
+parameters are sent to the server separately: see :ref:`server-side-binding`
+for details.
+
+Named arguments are supported too using :samp:`%({name})s` placeholders in the
+query and specifying the values into a mapping. Using named arguments allows
+to specify the values in any order and to repeat the same value in several
+places in the query::
+
+ cur.execute("""
+ INSERT INTO some_table (id, created_at, updated_at, last_name)
+ VALUES (%(id)s, %(created)s, %(created)s, %(name)s);
+ """,
+ {'id': 10, 'name': "O'Reilly", 'created': datetime.date(2020, 11, 18)})
+
+Using characters ``%``, ``(``, ``)`` in the argument names is not supported.
+
+When parameters are used, in order to include a literal ``%`` in the query you
+can use the ``%%`` string::
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT (%s % 2) = 0 AS even", (10,)) # WRONG
+ cur.execute("SELECT (%s %% 2) = 0 AS even", (10,)) # correct
+
+While the mechanism resembles regular Python strings manipulation, there are a
+few subtle differences you should care about when passing parameters to a
+query.
+
+- The Python string operator ``%`` *must not be used*: the `~cursor.execute()`
+ method accepts a tuple or dictionary of values as second parameter.
+ |sql-warn|__:
+
+ .. |sql-warn| replace:: **Never** use ``%`` or ``+`` to merge values
+ into queries
+
+ .. code:: python
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%s, %s)" % (10, 20)) # WRONG
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%s, %s)", (10, 20)) # correct
+
+ .. __: sql-injection_
+
+- For positional variables binding, *the second argument must always be a
+ sequence*, even if it contains a single variable (remember that Python
+ requires a comma to create a single element tuple)::
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", "bar") # WRONG
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", ("bar")) # WRONG
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", ("bar",)) # correct
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", ["bar"]) # correct
+
+- The placeholder *must not be quoted*::
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES ('%s')", ("Hello",)) # WRONG
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%s)", ("Hello",)) # correct
+
+- The variables placeholder *must always be a* ``%s``, even if a different
+ placeholder (such as a ``%d`` for integers or ``%f`` for floats) may look
+ more appropriate for the type. You may find other placeholders used in
+ Psycopg queries (``%b`` and ``%t``) but they are not related to the
+ type of the argument: see :ref:`binary-data` if you want to read more::
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%d)", (10,)) # WRONG
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%s)", (10,)) # correct
+
+- Only query values should be bound via this method: it shouldn't be used to
+ merge table or field names to the query. If you need to generate SQL queries
+ dynamically (for instance choosing a table name at runtime) you can use the
+ functionalities provided in the `psycopg.sql` module::
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO %s VALUES (%s)", ('numbers', 10)) # WRONG
+ cur.execute( # correct
+ SQL("INSERT INTO {} VALUES (%s)").format(Identifier('numbers')),
+ (10,))
+
+
+.. index:: Security, SQL injection
+
+.. _sql-injection:
+
+Danger: SQL injection
+---------------------
+
+The SQL representation of many data types is often different from their Python
+string representation. The typical example is with single quotes in strings:
+in SQL single quotes are used as string literal delimiters, so the ones
+appearing inside the string itself must be escaped, whereas in Python single
+quotes can be left unescaped if the string is delimited by double quotes.
+
+Because of the difference, sometimes subtle, between the data types
+representations, a naïve approach to query strings composition, such as using
+Python strings concatenation, is a recipe for *terrible* problems::
+
+ SQL = "INSERT INTO authors (name) VALUES ('%s')" # NEVER DO THIS
+ data = ("O'Reilly", )
+ cur.execute(SQL % data) # THIS WILL FAIL MISERABLY
+ # SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "Reilly"
+
+If the variables containing the data to send to the database come from an
+untrusted source (such as data coming from a form on a web site) an attacker
+could easily craft a malformed string, either gaining access to unauthorized
+data or performing destructive operations on the database. This form of attack
+is called `SQL injection`_ and is known to be one of the most widespread forms
+of attack on database systems. Before continuing, please print `this page`__
+as a memo and hang it onto your desk.

+
+Psycopg can :ref:`automatically convert Python objects to SQL
+values<types-adaptation>`: using this feature your code will be more robust
+and reliable. We must stress this point:
+
+.. warning::
+
+ - Don't manually merge values to a query: hackers from a foreign country
+ will break into your computer and steal not only your disks, but also
+ your cds, leaving you only with the three most embarrassing records you
+ ever bought. On cassette tapes.
+
+ - If you use the ``%`` operator to merge values to a query, con artists
+ will seduce your cat, who will run away taking your credit card
+ and your sunglasses with them.
+
+ - If you use ``+`` to merge a textual value to a string, bad guys in
+ balaclava will find their way to your fridge, drink all your beer, and
+ leave your toilet seat up and your toilet paper in the wrong orientation.
+
+ - You don't want to manually merge values to a query: :ref:`use the
+ provided methods <query-parameters>` instead.
+
+The correct way to pass variables in a SQL command is using the second
+argument of the `Cursor.execute()` method::
+
+ SQL = "INSERT INTO authors (name) VALUES (%s)" # Note: no quotes
+ data = ("O'Reilly", )
+ cur.execute(SQL, data) # Note: no % operator
+
+.. note::
+
+ Python static code checkers are not quite there yet, but, in the future,
+ it will be possible to check your code for improper use of string
+ expressions in queries. See :ref:`literal-string` for details.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ Now that you know how to pass parameters to queries, you can take a look
+ at :ref:`how Psycopg converts data types <types-adaptation>`.
+
+
+.. index::
+ pair: Binary; Parameters
+
+.. _binary-data:
+
+Binary parameters and results
+-----------------------------
+
+PostgreSQL has two different ways to transmit data between client and server:
+`~psycopg.pq.Format.TEXT`, always available, and `~psycopg.pq.Format.BINARY`,
+available most of the times but not always. Usually the binary format is more
+efficient to use.
+
+Psycopg can support both formats for each data type. Whenever a value
+is passed to a query using the normal ``%s`` placeholder, the best format
+available is chosen (often, but not always, the binary format is picked as the
+best choice).
+
+If you have a reason to select explicitly the binary format or the text format
+for a value you can use respectively a ``%b`` placeholder or a ``%t``
+placeholder instead of the normal ``%s``. `~Cursor.execute()` will fail if a
+`~psycopg.adapt.Dumper` for the right data type and format is not available.
+
+The same two formats, text or binary, are used by PostgreSQL to return data
+from a query to the client. Unlike with parameters, where you can choose the
+format value-by-value, all the columns returned by a query will have the same
+format. Every type returned by the query should have a `~psycopg.adapt.Loader`
+configured, otherwise the data will be returned as unparsed `!str` (for text
+results) or buffer (for binary results).
+
+.. note::
+ The `pg_type`_ table defines which format is supported for each PostgreSQL
+ data type. Text input/output is managed by the functions declared in the
+ ``typinput`` and ``typoutput`` fields (always present), binary
+ input/output is managed by the ``typsend`` and ``typreceive`` (which are
+ optional).
+
+ .. _pg_type: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-type.html
+
+Because not every PostgreSQL type supports binary output, by default, the data
+will be returned in text format. In order to return data in binary format you
+can create the cursor using `Connection.cursor`\ `!(binary=True)` or execute
+the query using `Cursor.execute`\ `!(binary=True)`. A case in which
+requesting binary results is a clear winner is when you have large binary data
+in the database, such as images::
+
+ cur.execute(
+ "SELECT image_data FROM images WHERE id = %s", [image_id], binary=True)
+ data = cur.fetchone()[0]

+Adapting other PostgreSQL types
+===============================
+

+
+
+.. index::
+ pair: Composite types; Data types
+ pair: tuple; Adaptation

+
+.. _adapt-composite:
+
+Composite types casting
+-----------------------
+
+Psycopg can adapt PostgreSQL composite types (either created with the |CREATE
+TYPE|_ command or implicitly defined after a table row type) to and from
+Python tuples, `~collections.namedtuple`, or any other suitable object
+configured.
+
+.. |CREATE TYPE| replace:: :sql:`CREATE TYPE`
+.. _CREATE TYPE: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createtype.html
+
+Before using a composite type it is necessary to get information about it
+using the `~psycopg.types.composite.CompositeInfo` class and to register it
+using `~psycopg.types.composite.register_composite()`.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.types.composite.CompositeInfo
+
+ `!CompositeInfo` is a `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo` subclass: check its
+ documentation for the generic usage, especially the
+ `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo.fetch()` method.
+
+ .. attribute:: python_type
+
+ After `register_composite()` is called, it will contain the python type
+ mapping to the registered composite.
+
+.. autofunction:: psycopg.types.composite.register_composite
+
+ After registering, fetching data of the registered composite will invoke
+ `!factory` to create corresponding Python objects.
+
+ If no factory is specified, a `~collection.namedtuple` is created and used
+ to return data.
+
+ If the `!factory` is a type (and not a generic callable), then dumpers for
+ that type are created and registered too, so that passing objects of that
+ type to a query will adapt them to the registered type.
+
+Example::
+
+ >>> from psycopg.types.composite import CompositeInfo, register_composite
+
+ >>> conn.execute("CREATE TYPE card AS (value int, suit text)")
+
+ >>> info = CompositeInfo.fetch(conn, "card")
+ >>> register_composite(info, conn)
+
+ >>> my_card = info.python_type(8, "hearts")
+ >>> my_card
+ card(value=8, suit='hearts')

+ ... ).fetchone()
+ ('card', 'hearts')
+
+ >>> conn.execute("SELECT (%s, %s)::card", [1, "spades"]).fetchone()[0]
+ card(value=1, suit='spades')
+
+
+Nested composite types are handled as expected, provided that the type of the
+composite components are registered as well::
+
+ >>> conn.execute("CREATE TYPE card_back AS (face card, back text)")
+
+ >>> info2 = CompositeInfo.fetch(conn, "card_back")
+ >>> register_composite(info2, conn)

+.. index::
+ pair: range; Data types
+
+.. _adapt-range:
+
+Range adaptation
+----------------
+
+PostgreSQL `range types`__ are a family of data types representing a range of
+values between two elements. The type of the element is called the range
+*subtype*. PostgreSQL offers a few built-in range types and allows the
+definition of custom ones.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rangetypes.html
+
+All the PostgreSQL range types are loaded as the `~psycopg.types.range.Range`
+Python type, which is a `~typing.Generic` type and can hold bounds of
+different types.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.types.range.Range
+
+ This Python type is only used to pass and retrieve range values to and
+ from PostgreSQL and doesn't attempt to replicate the PostgreSQL range
+ features: it doesn't perform normalization and doesn't implement all the
+ operators__ supported by the database.
+
+ PostgreSQL will perform normalisation on `!Range` objects used as query
+ parameters, so, when they are fetched back, they will be found in the
+ normal form (for instance ranges on integers will have `[)` bounds).
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-range.html#RANGE-OPERATORS-TABLE
+
+ `!Range` objects are immutable, hashable, and support the `!in` operator
+ (checking if an element is within the range). They can be tested for
+ equivalence. Empty ranges evaluate to `!False` in a boolean context,
+ nonempty ones evaluate to `!True`.
+
+ `!Range` objects have the following attributes:
+
+ .. autoattribute:: isempty
+ .. autoattribute:: lower
+ .. autoattribute:: upper
+ .. autoattribute:: lower_inc
+ .. autoattribute:: upper_inc
+ .. autoattribute:: lower_inf
+ .. autoattribute:: upper_inf
+
+The built-in range objects are adapted automatically: if a `!Range` objects
+contains `~datetime.date` bounds, it is dumped using the :sql:`daterange` OID,
+and of course :sql:`daterange` values are loaded back as `!Range[date]`.
+
+If you create your own range type you can use `~psycopg.types.range.RangeInfo`
+and `~psycopg.types.range.register_range()` to associate the range type with
+its subtype and make it work like the builtin ones.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.types.range.RangeInfo
+
+ `!RangeInfo` is a `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo` subclass: check its
+ documentation for generic details, especially the
+ `~psycopg.types.TypeInfo.fetch()` method.

+
+.. _adapt-multirange:
+
+Multirange adaptation
+---------------------
+
+Since PostgreSQL 14, every range type is associated with a multirange__, a
+type representing a disjoint set of ranges. A multirange is
+automatically available for every range, built-in and user-defined.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rangetypes.html
+
+All the PostgreSQL range types are loaded as the
+`~psycopg.types.multirange.Multirange` Python type, which is a mutable
+sequence of `~psycopg.types.range.Range` elements.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.types.multirange.Multirange
+
+ This Python type is only used to pass and retrieve multirange values to
+ and from PostgreSQL and doesn't attempt to replicate the PostgreSQL
+ multirange features: overlapping items are not merged, empty ranges are
+ not discarded, the items are not ordered, the behaviour of `multirange
+ operators`__ is not replicated in Python.
+
+ PostgreSQL will perform normalisation on `!Multirange` objects used as
+ query parameters, so, when they are fetched back, they will be found
+ ordered, with overlapping ranges merged, etc.
+
+ .. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-range.html#MULTIRANGE-OPERATORS-TABLE
+
+ `!Multirange` objects are a `~collections.abc.MutableSequence` and are
+ totally ordered: they behave pretty much like a list of `!Range`. Like
+ Range, they are `~typing.Generic` on the subtype of their range, so you
+ can declare a variable to be `!Multirange[date]` and mypy will complain if
+ you try to add it a `Range[Decimal]`.
+
+Like for `~psycopg.types.range.Range`, built-in multirange objects are adapted
+automatically: if a `!Multirange` object contains `!Range` with
+`~datetime.date` bounds, it is dumped using the :sql:`datemultirange` OID, and
+:sql:`datemultirange` values are loaded back as `!Multirange[date]`.
+
+If you have created your own range type you can use
+`~psycopg.types.multirange.MultirangeInfo` and
+`~psycopg.types.multirange.register_multirange()` to associate the resulting
+multirange type with its subtype and make it work like the builtin ones.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.types.multirange.MultirangeInfo

+well as regular BTree indexes for equality, uniqueness etc.
+

+Psycopg can convert Python `!dict` objects to and from |hstore| structures.
+Only dictionaries with string keys and values are supported. `!None` is also
+allowed as value but not as a key.
+
+In order to use the |hstore| data type it is necessary to load it in a
+database using:
+
+.. code:: none
+
+ =# CREATE EXTENSION hstore;
+
+Because |hstore| is distributed as a contrib module, its oid is not well

+resulting object can be passed to
+`~psycopg.types.hstore.register_hstore()` to configure dumping `!dict` to
+|hstore| and parsing |hstore| back to `!dict`, in the context where the

+ both in text and binary mode.
+
+ Similarly, shape objects can be sent to the database.
+
+ This requires the Shapely library to be installed.
+
+ :param info: The object with the information about the geometry type.
+ :param context: The context where to register the adapters. If `!None`,
+ register it globally.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Registering the adapters doesn't affect objects already created, even

+

+
+ >>> from psycopg.types import TypeInfo
+ >>> from psycopg.types.shapely import register_shapely
+ >>> from shapely.geometry import Point
+
+ >>> info = TypeInfo.fetch(conn, "geometry")
+ >>> register_shapely(info, conn)

+ <shapely.geometry.multipolygon.MultiPolygon object at 0x7fb131f3cd90>
+
+Notice that, if the geometry adapters are registered on a specific object (a

+
+Transactions management
+=======================
+
+Psycopg has a behaviour that may seem surprising compared to
+:program:`psql`: by default, any database operation will start a new
+transaction. As a consequence, changes made by any cursor of the connection
+will not be visible until `Connection.commit()` is called, and will be
+discarded by `Connection.rollback()`. The following operation on the same
+connection will start a new transaction.
+
+If a database operation fails, the server will refuse further commands, until
+a `~rollback()` is called.
+
+If the cursor is closed with a transaction open, no COMMIT command is sent to
+the server, which will then discard the connection. Certain middleware (such
+as PgBouncer) will also discard a connection left in transaction state, so, if
+possible you will want to commit or rollback a connection before finishing
+working with it.
+
+An example of what will happen, the first time you will use Psycopg (and to be
+disappointed by it), is likely:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect()
+
+ # Creating a cursor doesn't start a transaction or affect the connection
+ # in any way.
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM my_table")
+ # This function call executes:
+ # - BEGIN
+ # - SELECT count(*) FROM my_table
+ # So now a transaction has started.
+
+ # If your program spends a long time in this state, the server will keep
+ # a connection "idle in transaction", which is likely something undesired
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO data VALUES (%s)", ("Hello",))
+ # This statement is executed inside the transaction
+
+ conn.close()
+ # No COMMIT was sent: the INSERT was discarded.
+
+There are a few things going wrong here, let's see how they can be improved.
+
+One obvious problem after the run above is that, firing up :program:`psql`,
+you will see no new record in the table ``data``. One way to fix the problem
+is to call `!conn.commit()` before closing the connection. Thankfully, if you
+use the :ref:`connection context <with-connection>`, Psycopg will commit the
+connection at the end of the block (or roll it back if the block is exited
+with an exception):
+
+The code modified using a connection context will result in the following
+sequence of database statements:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :emphasize-lines: 1
+
+ with psycopg.connect() as conn:
+
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM my_table")
+ # This function call executes:
+ # - BEGIN
+ # - SELECT count(*) FROM my_table
+ # So now a transaction has started.
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO data VALUES (%s)", ("Hello",))
+ # This statement is executed inside the transaction
+
+ # No exception at the end of the block:
+ # COMMIT is executed.
+
+This way we don't have to remember to call neither `!close()` nor `!commit()`
+and the database operations actually have a persistent effect. The code might
+still do something you don't expect: keep a transaction from the first
+operation to the connection closure. You can have a finer control over the
+transactions using an :ref:`autocommit transaction <autocommit>` and/or
+:ref:`transaction contexts <transaction-context>`.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ By default even a simple :sql:`SELECT` will start a transaction: in
+ long-running programs, if no further action is taken, the session will
+ remain *idle in transaction*, an undesirable condition for several
+ reasons (locks are held by the session, tables bloat...). For long lived
+ scripts, either make sure to terminate a transaction as soon as possible or
+ use an `~Connection.autocommit` connection.
+
+.. hint::
+
+ If a database operation fails with an error message such as
+ *InFailedSqlTransaction: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored
+ until end of transaction block*, it means that **a previous operation
+ failed** and the database session is in a state of error. You need to call
+ `~Connection.rollback()` if you want to keep on using the same connection.
+
+
+.. _autocommit:
+
+Autocommit transactions
+-----------------------
+
+The manual commit requirement can be suspended using `~Connection.autocommit`,
+either as connection attribute or as `~psycopg.Connection.connect()`
+parameter. This may be required to run operations that cannot be executed
+inside a transaction, such as :sql:`CREATE DATABASE`, :sql:`VACUUM`,
+:sql:`CALL` on `stored procedures`__ using transaction control.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/xproc.html
+
+With an autocommit transaction, the above sequence of operation results in:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :emphasize-lines: 1
+
+ with psycopg.connect(autocommit=True) as conn:
+
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM my_table")
+ # This function call now only executes:
+ # - SELECT count(*) FROM my_table
+ # and no transaction starts.
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO data VALUES (%s)", ("Hello",))
+ # The result of this statement is persisted immediately by the database
+
+ # The connection is closed at the end of the block but, because it is not
+ # in a transaction state, no COMMIT is executed.
+
+An autocommit transaction behaves more as someone coming from :program:`psql`
+would expect. This has a beneficial performance effect, because less queries
+are sent and less operations are performed by the database. The statements,
+however, are not executed in an atomic transaction; if you need to execute
+certain operations inside a transaction, you can achieve that with an
+autocommit connection too, using an explicit :ref:`transaction block
+<transaction-context>`.
+
+
+.. _transaction-context:
+
+Transaction contexts
+--------------------
+
+A more transparent way to make sure that transactions are finalised at the
+right time is to use `!with` `Connection.transaction()` to create a
+transaction context. When the context is entered, a transaction is started;
+when leaving the context the transaction is committed, or it is rolled back if
+an exception is raised inside the block.
+
+Continuing the example above, if you want to use an autocommit connection but
+still wrap selected groups of commands inside an atomic transaction, you can
+use a `!transaction()` context:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :emphasize-lines: 8
+
+ with psycopg.connect(autocommit=True) as conn:
+
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM my_table")
+ # The connection is autocommit, so no BEGIN executed.
+
+ with conn.transaction():
+ # BEGIN is executed, a transaction started
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO data VALUES (%s)", ("Hello",))
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO times VALUES (now())")
+ # These two operation run atomically in the same transaction
+
+ # COMMIT is executed at the end of the block.
+ # The connection is in idle state again.
+
+ # The connection is closed at the end of the block.
+
+
+Note that connection blocks can also be used with non-autocommit connections:
+in this case you still need to pay attention to eventual transactions started
+automatically. If an operation starts an implicit transaction, a
+`!transaction()` block will only manage :ref:`a savepoint sub-transaction
+<nested-transactions>`, leaving the caller to deal with the main transaction,
+as explained in :ref:`transactions`:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect()
+
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+
+ cur.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM my_table")
+ # This function call executes:
+ # - BEGIN
+ # - SELECT count(*) FROM my_table
+ # So now a transaction has started.
+
+ with conn.transaction():
+ # The block starts with a transaction already open, so it will execute
+ # - SAVEPOINT
+
+ cur.execute("INSERT INTO data VALUES (%s)", ("Hello",))
+
+ # The block was executing a sub-transaction so on exit it will only run:
+ # - RELEASE SAVEPOINT
+ # The transaction is still on.
+
+ conn.close()
+ # No COMMIT was sent: the INSERT was discarded.
+
+If a `!transaction()` block starts when no transaction is active then it will
+manage a proper transaction. In essence, a transaction context tries to leave
+a connection in the state it found it, and leaves you to deal with the wider
+context.
+
+.. hint::
+ The interaction between non-autocommit transactions and transaction
+ contexts is probably surprising. Although the non-autocommit default is
+ what's demanded by the DBAPI, the personal preference of several experienced
+ developers is to:
+
+ - use a connection block: ``with psycopg.connect(...) as conn``;
+ - use an autocommit connection, either passing `!autocommit=True` as
+ `!connect()` parameter or setting the attribute ``conn.autocommit =
+ True``;
+ - use `!with conn.transaction()` blocks to manage transactions only where
+ needed.
+
+
+.. _nested-transactions:
+
+Nested transactions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Transaction blocks can be also nested (internal transaction blocks are
+implemented using SAVEPOINT__): an exception raised inside an inner block
+has a chance of being handled and not completely fail outer operations. The
+following is an example where a series of operations interact with the
+database: operations are allowed to fail; at the end we also want to store the
+number of operations successfully processed.
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-savepoint.html
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with conn.transaction() as tx1:
+ num_ok = 0
+ for operation in operations:
+ try:
+ with conn.transaction() as tx2:
+ unreliable_operation(conn, operation)
+ except Exception:
+ logger.exception(f"{operation} failed")
+ else:
+ num_ok += 1
+
+ save_number_of_successes(conn, num_ok)
+
+If `!unreliable_operation()` causes an error, including an operation causing a
+database error, all its changes will be reverted. The exception bubbles up
+outside the block: in the example it is intercepted by the `!try` so that the
+loop can complete. The outermost block is unaffected (unless other errors
+happen there).
+
+You can also write code to explicitly roll back any currently active
+transaction block, by raising the `Rollback` exception. The exception "jumps"
+to the end of a transaction block, rolling back its transaction but allowing
+the program execution to continue from there. By default the exception rolls
+back the innermost transaction block, but any current block can be specified
+as the target. In the following example, a hypothetical `!CancelCommand`
+may stop the processing and cancel any operation previously performed,
+but not entirely committed yet.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ from psycopg import Rollback
+
+ with conn.transaction() as outer_tx:
+ for command in commands():
+ with conn.transaction() as inner_tx:
+ if isinstance(command, CancelCommand):
+ raise Rollback(outer_tx)
+ process_command(command)
+
+ # If `Rollback` is raised, it would propagate only up to this block,
+ # and the program would continue from here with no exception.
+
+
+.. _transaction-characteristics:
+
+Transaction characteristics
+---------------------------
+
+You can set `transaction parameters`__ for the transactions that Psycopg
+handles. They affect the transactions started implicitly by non-autocommit
+transactions and the ones started explicitly by `Connection.transaction()` for
+both autocommit and non-autocommit transactions. Leaving these parameters as
+`!None` will use the server's default behaviour (which is controlled
+by server settings such as default_transaction_isolation__).
+
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-set-transaction.html
+.. __: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-client.html
+ #GUC-DEFAULT-TRANSACTION-ISOLATION
+
+In order to set these parameters you can use the connection attributes
+`~Connection.isolation_level`, `~Connection.read_only`,
+`~Connection.deferrable`. For async connections you must use the equivalent
+`~AsyncConnection.set_isolation_level()` method and similar. The parameters
+can only be changed if there isn't a transaction already active on the
+connection.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ Applications running at `~IsolationLevel.REPEATABLE_READ` or
+ `~IsolationLevel.SERIALIZABLE` isolation level are exposed to serialization
+ failures. `In certain concurrent update cases`__, PostgreSQL will raise an
+ exception looking like::
+
+ psycopg2.errors.SerializationFailure: could not serialize access
+ due to concurrent update
+
+ In this case the application must be prepared to repeat the operation that
+ caused the exception.

+ pair: Two-phase commit; Transaction
+
+.. _two-phase-commit:
+
+Two-Phase Commit protocol support
+---------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.1
+
+Psycopg exposes the two-phase commit features available in PostgreSQL
+implementing the `two-phase commit extensions`__ proposed by the DBAPI.
+
+The DBAPI model of two-phase commit is inspired by the `XA specification`__,
+according to which transaction IDs are formed from three components:
+
+- a format ID (non-negative 32 bit integer)
+- a global transaction ID (string not longer than 64 bytes)
+- a branch qualifier (string not longer than 64 bytes)
+
+For a particular global transaction, the first two components will be the same
+for all the resources. Every resource will be assigned a different branch
+qualifier.
+
+According to the DBAPI specification, a transaction ID is created using the
+`Connection.xid()` method. Once you have a transaction id, a distributed
+transaction can be started with `Connection.tpc_begin()`, prepared using
+`~Connection.tpc_prepare()` and completed using `~Connection.tpc_commit()` or
+`~Connection.tpc_rollback()`. Transaction IDs can also be retrieved from the
+database using `~Connection.tpc_recover()` and completed using the above
+`!tpc_commit()` and `!tpc_rollback()`.
+
+PostgreSQL doesn't follow the XA standard though, and the ID for a PostgreSQL
+prepared transaction can be any string up to 200 characters long. Psycopg's
+`Xid` objects can represent both XA-style transactions IDs (such as the ones
+created by the `!xid()` method) and PostgreSQL transaction IDs identified by
+an unparsed string.
+
+The format in which the Xids are converted into strings passed to the
+database is the same employed by the `PostgreSQL JDBC driver`__: this should
+allow interoperation between tools written in Python and in Java. For example
+a recovery tool written in Python would be able to recognize the components of
+transactions produced by a Java program.
+
+For further details see the documentation for the :ref:`tpc-methods`.

+Basic module usage
+==================
+
+The basic Psycopg usage is common to all the database adapters implementing
+the `DB-API`__ protocol. Other database adapters, such as the builtin
+`sqlite3` or `psycopg2`, have roughly the same pattern of interaction.
+

+ pair: Example; Usage
+
+.. _usage:
+
+Main objects in Psycopg 3
+-------------------------
+
+Here is an interactive session showing some of the basic commands:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ # Note: the module name is psycopg, not psycopg3
+ import psycopg
+
+ # Connect to an existing database
+ with psycopg.connect("dbname=test user=postgres") as conn:
+
+ # Open a cursor to perform database operations
+ with conn.cursor() as cur:
+
+ # Execute a command: this creates a new table
+ cur.execute("""
+ CREATE TABLE test (
+ id serial PRIMARY KEY,
+ num integer,
+ data text)
+ """)
+
+ # Pass data to fill a query placeholders and let Psycopg perform
+ # the correct conversion (no SQL injections!)
+ cur.execute(
+ "INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES (%s, %s)",
+ (100, "abc'def"))
+
+ # Query the database and obtain data as Python objects.
+ cur.execute("SELECT * FROM test")
+ cur.fetchone()
+ # will return (1, 100, "abc'def")
+
+ # You can use `cur.fetchmany()`, `cur.fetchall()` to return a list
+ # of several records, or even iterate on the cursor
+ for record in cur:
+ print(record)
+
+ # Make the changes to the database persistent
+ conn.commit()
+
+
+In the example you can see some of the main objects and methods and how they
+relate to each other:
+
+- The function `~Connection.connect()` creates a new database session and
+ returns a new `Connection` instance. `AsyncConnection.connect()`
+ creates an `asyncio` connection instead.
+
+- The `~Connection` class encapsulates a database session. It allows to:
+
+ - create new `~Cursor` instances using the `~Connection.cursor()` method to
+ execute database commands and queries,
+
+ - terminate transactions using the methods `~Connection.commit()` or
+ `~Connection.rollback()`.
+
+- The class `~Cursor` allows interaction with the database:
+
+ - send commands to the database using methods such as `~Cursor.execute()`
+ and `~Cursor.executemany()`,
+
+ - retrieve data from the database, iterating on the cursor or using methods
+ such as `~Cursor.fetchone()`, `~Cursor.fetchmany()`, `~Cursor.fetchall()`.
+
+- Using these objects as context managers (i.e. using `!with`) will make sure
+ to close them and free their resources at the end of the block (notice that
+ :ref:`this is different from psycopg2 <diff-with>`).
+
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ A few important topics you will have to deal with are:
+
+ - :ref:`query-parameters`.
+ - :ref:`types-adaptation`.
+ - :ref:`transactions`.
+
+
+Shortcuts
+---------
+
+The pattern above is familiar to `!psycopg2` users. However, Psycopg 3 also
+exposes a few simple extensions which make the above pattern leaner:
+
+- the `Connection` objects exposes an `~Connection.execute()` method,
+ equivalent to creating a cursor, calling its `~Cursor.execute()` method, and
+ returning it.
+
+ .. code::
+
+ # In Psycopg 2
+ cur = conn.cursor()
+ cur.execute(...)
+
+ # In Psycopg 3
+ cur = conn.execute(...)
+
+- The `Cursor.execute()` method returns `!self`. This means that you can chain
+ a fetch operation, such as `~Cursor.fetchone()`, to the `!execute()` call:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ # In Psycopg 2
+ cur.execute(...)
+ record = cur.fetchone()
+
+ cur.execute(...)
+ for record in cur:
+ ...
+
+ # In Psycopg 3
+ record = cur.execute(...).fetchone()
+
+ for record in cur.execute(...):
+ ...
+
+Using them together, in simple cases, you can go from creating a connection to
+using a result in a single expression:
+
+.. code::
+
+ print(psycopg.connect(DSN).execute("SELECT now()").fetchone()[0])
+ # 2042-07-12 18:15:10.706497+01:00
+
+
+.. index::
+ pair: Connection; `!with`
+
+.. _with-connection:
+
+Connection context
+------------------
+
+Psycopg 3 `Connection` can be used as a context manager:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ with psycopg.connect() as conn:
+ ... # use the connection
+
+ # the connection is now closed
+
+When the block is exited, if there is a transaction open, it will be
+committed. If an exception is raised within the block the transaction is
+rolled back. In both cases the connection is closed. It is roughly the
+equivalent of:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ conn = psycopg.connect()
+ try:
+ ... # use the connection
+ except BaseException:
+ conn.rollback()
+ else:
+ conn.commit()
+ finally:
+ conn.close()
+
+.. note::
+ This behaviour is not what `!psycopg2` does: in `!psycopg2` :ref:`there is
+ no final close() <pg2:with>` and the connection can be used in several
+ `!with` statements to manage different transactions. This behaviour has
+ been considered non-standard and surprising so it has been replaced by the
+ more explicit `~Connection.transaction()` block.
+
+Note that, while the above pattern is what most people would use, `connect()`
+doesn't enter a block itself, but returns an "un-entered" connection, so that
+it is still possible to use a connection regardless of the code scope and the
+developer is free to use (and responsible for calling) `~Connection.commit()`,
+`~Connection.rollback()`, `~Connection.close()` as and where needed.
+
+.. warning::
+ If a connection is just left to go out of scope, the way it will behave
+ with or without the use of a `!with` block is different:
+
+ - if the connection is used without a `!with` block, the server will find
+ a connection closed INTRANS and roll back the current transaction;
+
+ - if the connection is used with a `!with` block, there will be an
+ explicit COMMIT and the operations will be finalised.
+
+ You should use a `!with` block when your intention is just to execute a
+ set of operations and then committing the result, which is the most usual
+ thing to do with a connection. If your connection life cycle and
+ transaction pattern is different, and want more control on it, the use
+ without `!with` might be more convenient.
+
+ See :ref:`transactions` for more information.
+
+`AsyncConnection` can be also used as context manager, using ``async with``,
+but be careful about its quirkiness: see :ref:`async-with` for details.
+
+
+Adapting pyscopg to your program
+--------------------------------
+
+The above :ref:`pattern of use <usage>` only shows the default behaviour of
+the adapter. Psycopg can be customised in several ways, to allow the smoothest
+integration between your Python program and your PostgreSQL database:
+
+- If your program is concurrent and based on `asyncio` instead of on
+ threads/processes, you can use :ref:`async connections and cursors <async>`.
+
+- If you want to customise the objects that the cursor returns, instead of
+ receiving tuples, you can specify your :ref:`row factories <row-factories>`.
+
+- If you want to customise how Python values and PostgreSQL types are mapped
+ into each other, beside the :ref:`basic type mapping <types-adaptation>`,
+ you can :ref:`configure your types <adaptation>`.

+How to make a psycopg release
+=============================
+
+- Change version number in:
+
+ - ``psycopg_c/psycopg_c/version.py``
+ - ``psycopg/psycopg/version.py``
+ - ``psycopg_pool/psycopg_pool/version.py``
+
+- Change docs/news.rst to drop the "unreleased" mark from the version
+
+- Push to GitHub to run `the tests workflow`__.
+
+ .. __: https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg/actions/workflows/tests.yml
+
+- Build the packages by triggering manually the `Build packages workflow`__.
+
+ .. __: https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg/actions/workflows/packages.yml
+
+- If all went fine, create a tag named after the version::
+
+ git tag -a -s 3.0.dev1
+ git push --tags
+
+- Download the ``artifacts.zip`` package from the last Packages workflow run.
+
+- Unpack the packages locally::
+
+ mkdir tmp
+ cd tmp
+ unzip ~/Downloads/artifact.zip
+
+- If the package is a testing one, upload it on TestPyPI with::
+
+ $ twine upload -s -r testpypi *
+
+- If the package is stable, omit ``-r testpypi``.
