Interface PGConnection

All Known Subinterfaces:

BaseConnection

All Known Implementing Classes:

PgConnection

public interface PGConnection

This interface defines the public PostgreSQL extensions to java.sql.Connection. All Connections returned by the PostgreSQL driver implement PGConnection.

Method Summary

PGNotification[] getNotifications()
                                  throws SQLException

This method returns any notifications that have been received since the last call to this method. Returns null if there have been no notifications.

Returns:

Since:

7.3

getCopyAPI

CopyManager getCopyAPI()
                       throws SQLException

This returns the COPY API for the current connection.

Returns:

COPY API for the current connection

Throws:

SQLException - if something wrong happens

Since:

8.4

getLargeObjectAPI

LargeObjectManager getLargeObjectAPI()
                                     throws SQLException

This returns the LargeObject API for the current connection.

7.3

getFastpathAPI

Fastpath getFastpathAPI()
                        throws SQLException

This returns the Fastpath API for the current connection.

Returns:

Fastpath API for the current connection

Throws:

SQLException - if something wrong happens

Since:

7.3

addDataType

void addDataType(String type,
                 String className)

Deprecated. As of 8.0, replaced by addDataType(String, Class). This deprecated method does not work correctly for registering classes that cannot be directly loaded by the JDBC driver's classloader.

This allows client code to add a handler for one of org.postgresql's more unique data types. It is approximately equivalent to addDataType(type, Class.forName(name)).

Parameters:

type - JDBC type name

className - class name

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the type cannot be registered (class not found, etc).

addDataType

void addDataType(String type,
                 Class<? extends PGobject> klass)
                 throws SQLException

This allows client code to add a handler for one of org.postgresql's more unique data types.

NOTE: This is not part of JDBC, but an extension.

The best way to use this is as follows:

 ...
 ((org.postgresql.PGConnection)myconn).addDataType("mytype", my.class.name.class);
 ...
 

where myconn is an open Connection to org.postgresql.

The handling class must extend org.postgresql.util.PGobject

Parameters:

type - the PostgreSQL type to register

klass - the class implementing the Java representation of the type; this class must implement PGobject).

Throws:

SQLException - if klass does not implement PGobject).

Since:

8.0

PGobject

setPrepareThreshold

void setPrepareThreshold(int threshold)

Set the default statement reuse threshold before enabling server-side prepare. See PGStatement.setPrepareThreshold(int) for details.

Parameters:

threshold - the new threshold

Since:

build 302

getPrepareThreshold

int getPrepareThreshold()

Get the default server-side prepare reuse threshold for statements created from this connection.

Returns:

the current threshold

Since:

build 302

setDefaultFetchSize

void setDefaultFetchSize(int fetchSize)
                         throws SQLException

Set the default fetch size for statements created from this connection

Parameters:

fetchSize - new default fetch size

Throws:

SQLException - if specified negative fetchSize parameter

See Also:

Statement.setFetchSize(int)

getDefaultFetchSize

int getDefaultFetchSize()

Get the default fetch size for statements created from this connection

Returns:

current state for default fetch size

See Also:

PGProperty.DEFAULT_ROW_FETCH_SIZE, Statement.getFetchSize()

getBackendPID

int getBackendPID()

Return the process ID (PID) of the backend server process handling this connection.

Returns:

PID of backend server process.

escapeIdentifier

String escapeIdentifier(String identifier)
                        throws SQLException

Return the given string suitably quoted to be used as an identifier in an SQL statement string. Quotes are added only if necessary (i.e., if the string contains non-identifier characters or would be case-folded). Embedded quotes are properly doubled.

Parameters:

identifier - input identifier

Returns:

the escaped identifier

Throws:

SQLException - if something goes wrong

escapeLiteral

String escapeLiteral(String literal)
                     throws SQLException

Return the given string suitably quoted to be used as a string literal in an SQL statement string. Embedded single-quotes and backslashes are properly doubled. Note that quote_literal returns null on null input.

Parameters:

literal - input literal

Returns:

the quoted literal

Throws:

SQLException - if something goes wrong

getPreferQueryMode

PreferQueryMode getPreferQueryMode()

Returns true if the connection is configured to use "simple 'Q' execute" commands only When running in simple protocol only, certain features are not available: callable statements, partial result set fetch, bytea type, etc. The list of supported features is subject to change.

Returns:

true if the connection is configured to use "simple 'Q' execute" commands only

getAutosave

AutoSave getAutosave()

Connection configuration regarding automatic per-query savepoints.

Returns:

connection configuration regarding automatic per-query savepoints

See Also:

PGProperty.AUTOSAVE

setAutosave

void setAutosave(AutoSave autoSave)

Configures if connection should use automatic savepoints.

Parameters:

autoSave - connection configuration regarding automatic per-query savepoints
