+1. Presentation
+===============
+
+1.1. Introduction
+-----------------
+
+PostgreSQL is a database system derived from Postgres4.2. It conforms to
+(most of) ANSI SQL and offers many interesting capabilities (C dynamic linking
+for functions or type definition, etc.). This package is copyright by the
+Regents of the University of California, and is freely distributable.
+
+Python is an interpreted programming language. It is object oriented, simple
+to use (light syntax, simple and straightforward statements), and has many
+extensions for building GUIs, interfacing with WWW, etc. An intelligent web
+browser (HotJava like) is currently under development (November 1995), and
+this should open programmers many doors. Python is copyrighted by Stichting S
+Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and is freely distributable.
+
+PyGreSQL is a python module that interfaces to a PostgreSQL database. It
+embeds the PostgreSQL query library to allow easy use of the powerful
+PostgreSQL features from a Python script.
+
+PyGreSQL 2.0 was developed and tested on a NetBSD 1.3_BETA system. It is
+based on the PyGres95 code written by Pascal Andre, andre@chimay.via.ecp.fr.
+I changed the version to 2.0 and updated the code for Python 1.5 and
+PostgreSQL 6.2.1. While I was at it I upgraded the code to use full ANSI
+style prototypes and changed the order of arguments to connect.

+ add-in used for demonstration.
+
+1.3. Installation
+-----------------
+
+* You first have to get and build Python and PostgreSQL.
+
+* PyGreSQL is implemented as two parts, a C module labeled _pg and a
+ Python wrapper called pg.py. This changed between 2.1 and 2.2. This
+ should not affect any existing programs but the installation is slightly
+ different.
+
+* Find the directory where your 'Setup' file lives (usually ??/Modules) and
+ copy or symlink the 'pgmodule.c' file there.
+
+* Add the following line to your Setup file
+ _pg pgmodule.c -I[pgInc] -L[pgLib] -lpq # -lcrypt # needed on some systems
+ where:
+ [pgInc] = path of the PostgreSQL include
+ [pgLib] = path of the PostgreSQL libraries
+ Some options may be added to this line:
+ -DNO_DEF_VAR - no default variables support
+ -DNO_DIRECT - no direct access methods
+ -DNO_LARGE - no large object support
+ -DNO_PQSOCKET - if running an older PostgreSQL
+
+ Define NO_PQSOCKET if you are using a version of PostgreSQL before 6.4
+ that does not have the PQsocket function. The other options will be
+ described in the next sections.
+
+* If you want a shared module, make sure that the "*shared*" keyword is
+ uncommented and add the above line below it. You used to need to install
+ your shared modules with "make sharedinstall but this no longer seems
+ to be true."
+
+* Copy pg.py to the lib directory where the rest of your modules are. For
+ example, that's /usr/local/lib/Python on my system.
+
+* Do 'make -f Makefile.pre.in boot' and do 'make && make install'
+
+* For more details read the documentation at the top of Makefile.pre.in
+
+* If you are on NetBSD, look in the packages directory under databases. If
+ it isn't there yet, it should be there shortly. You can also pick up the
+ package files from ftp://ftp.druid.net/pub/distrib/pygresql.pkg.tgz.
+ There is also a package in the FreeBSD ports collection but as I write
+ this it is at version 2.1. I will try to get that updated as well.
+
+* For Linux installation look at README.linux
+
+
+1.4. Where to get ... ?

+
+2. Programming information
+==========================
+
+This module defines three objects: the pgobject that handles the connection
+and all the requests to the database, the pglargeobject that handles
+all the accesses to Postgres large objects and pgqueryobject that handles
+query results.
+
+2.1. pg module description
+----------------------------
+
+The module defines only a few methods that allow to connect to a database and
+to allow to define "default variables" that override the environment variables
+used by PostgreSQL.
+
+These "default variables" were designed to allow you to handle general
+connection parameters without heavy code in your programs. You can prompt the
+user for a value, put it in the default variable, and forget it, without
+having to modify your environment. The support for default variables can be
+disabled by setting the -DNO_DEF_VAR option in the Python Setup file. Methods
+relative to this are specified by te tag [DV].
+
+All variables are set to None at module initialization, specifying that
+standard environment variables should be used.
+
+ 2.1.1. connect - opens a pg connection
+ ----------------------------------------
+
+ Syntax:
+ connect(dbname, host, port, opt, tty, user, passwd)
+ Parameters:
+ dbname - name of connected database (string/None)
+ host - name of the server host (string/None)
+ port - port used by the database server (integer/-1)
+ opt - connection options (string/None)
+ tty - debug terminal (string/None)
+ user - PostgreSQL user (string/None)
+ passwd - password for user (string/None)
+ Return type:
+ pgobject - the object handling the connection
+ Exceptions raised:
+ TypeError - bad argument type, or too many arguments
+ SyntaxError - duplicate argument definition
+ pg.error - some error occurred during pg connection definition

+ Description:
+ This method opens a connection to a specified database on a given
+ PostgreSQL server. You can use keywords here, as described in the

+
+ - large objects access modes, used by (pgobject.)locreate and
+ (pglarge.)open: (pg.)INV_READ, (pg.)INV_WRITE, (pg.)INV_ARCHIVE
+ - positional flags, used by (pglarge.)seek: (pg.)SEEK_SET,
+ (pg.)SEEK_CUR, (pg.)SEEK_END.
+ - version and __version__ constants that give the current version.
+
+ 2.1.9.
+ 2.1.10. Miscellaneous attributes
+
+ The following methods return information about the current connection.
+
+ -
+2.2. pgobject description
+---------------------------
+
+ This object handle a connection to a PostgreSQL database. It embeds and
+hides all the parameters that define this connection, thus just leaving really
+significant parameters in function calls.
+ Some methods give direct access to the connection socket. They are specified
+by the tag [DA]. DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If
+you prefer disabling them, set the -DNO_DIRECT option in the Python Setup file.
+ Some other methods give access to large objects (refer to PostgreSQL user
+manual for more information about these). if you want to forbid access to these
+from the module, set the -DNO_LARGE option in the Python Setup file. These
+methods are specified by the tag [LO].
+

+ This method simply sends a SQL query to the database. If the query is
+ an insert statement, the return value is the OID of the newly
+ inserted row. If it is otherwise a query that does not return a result
+ (ie. is not a some kind of SELECT statement), it returns None.
+ Otherwise, it returns a pgqueryobject that can be accessed via the
+ getresult method or printed.
+
+ pgqueryobject methods

+ tuples/lists that define the values for each inserted row. The rows values
+ may contain string, integer, long or double (real) values.
+ BE VERY CAREFUL: this method doesn't typecheck the fields according to the
+ table definition; it just look whether or not it knows how to handle such
+ types.

+ give the name of a file containing the data to be use.
+
+ 2.2.13. pgobject attributes
+ -----------------------------
+
+ Every pgobject defines a set of read-only attributes that describe the

+ error - the last warning/error message from the server (string)
+
+2.3. pglarge description
+--------------------------
+
+ This object handles all the request concerning a postgres large object. It
+embeds and hides all the 'recurrent' variables (object oid and connection),
+exactly in the same way pgobjects do, thus only keeping significant
+parameters in function calls. It keeps a reference to the pgobject used for
+its creation, sending requests though with its parameters. Any modification but
+dereferencing the pgobject will thus affect the pglarge object.
+Dereferencing the initial pgobject is not a problem since Python won't
+deallocate it before the large object dereference it.
+ All functions return a generic error message on call error, whatever the
+exact error was. The 'error' attribute of the object allow to get the exact
+error message.
+

+ constants defined in the pgmodule (INV_READ, INV_WRITE).
+
+ 2.3.2. close - closes a large object
+ ------------------------------------
+
+ Syntax: close()
+ Parameters: none

+ SyntaxError - too many parameters
+ IOError - object is not opened, or seek/tell error
+ Description:
+ This (composite) method allows to get the size of a large object. Currently
+ the large object needs to be opened. It was implemented because this
+ function is very useful for a WWW interfaced database.
+
+ 2.3.6. export - saves a large object to a file
+ ----------------------------------------------
+
+ Syntax: export(name)
+ Parameters:
+ name - file to be created
+ Return type:
+ None
+ Exception raised:
+ pg.error - invalid connection or invalid object
+ TypeError - bad parameter type, or too many parameters
+ IOError - object is not closed, or export error
+ Description:
+ This methods allows to dump the content of a large object in a very simple
+ way. The exported file is created on the host of the program, not the
+ server host.
+
+ 2.3.7. Object attributes
+ ------------------------
+
+ pglarge objects define a read-only set of attributes that allow to get some
+information about it. These attributes are:
+ oid - the oid associated with the object
+ pgcnx - the pgobject associated with the object
+ error - the last warning/error message of the connection
+BE CAREFUL: in multithreaded environments, 'error' may be modified by another
+thread using the same pgobject. Remember these object are shared, not
+duplicated. You should provide some locking to be able if you want to check
+this.
+ The oid attribute is very interesting because it allow you reuse the oid
+later, creating the pglarge object with a pgobject getlo() method call.
+
+
+3. The pg wrapper
+================
+
+The previous functions are wrapped in a module called pg. The module
+has a class called DB. The above functions are also included in the
+name space so it isn't necessary to import both modules. The preferred
+way to use this module is as follows.
+
+from pg import DB
+db = DB(...) # See description of the initialization method below.
+
+The following describes the methods and variables of this class.
+
+
+ 3.1. Initialization
+ -------------------
+ The DB class is initialized with the same arguments as the connect
+ method described in section 2. It also initializes a few internal
+ variables. The statement 'db = DB()' will open the local database
+ with the name of the user just like connect() does.
+
+ 3.2. pkey
+ ---------
+ Syntax:
+ pkey(table)
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ Returns:
+ Name of field which is the primary key of the table.
+ Description:
+ This method returns the primary key of a table. Note that this raises
+ an exception if the table doesn't have a primary key. Further, in the
+ currently released implementation of PostgreSQL the 'PRIMARY KEY' syntax
+ doesn't actually fill in the necessary tables to determine primary keys.
+ You can do this yourself with the following query.
+
+ # Set up table and primary_field variables...
+
+ """UPDATE pg_index SET indisprimary = 't'
+ WHERE pg_index.oid in (SELECT pg_index.oid
+ FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index
+ WHERE pg_class.oid = pg_attribute.attrelid AND
+ pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND
+ pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND
+ pg_class.relname = '%(table)s' AND
+ pg_attribute.attname = '%(primary_field)');""" % locals()
+
+ This will be fixed in the upcoming 6.5 release of PostgreSQL or
+ you can download the current sources now. Downloading current
+ is, as usual, at your own risk.
+
+ 3.3. get_databases - get list of databases in the system
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+ Syntax: get_databases()
+ Parameters: none
+ Returns: list of databases in the system
+ Description:
+ Although you can do this with a simple select, it is added here for
+ convenience
+
+ 3.4. get_tables - get list of tables in connected database
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ Syntax: get_tables()
+ Parameters: none
+ Returns: list of tables in connected database
+
+ 3.5. get_attnames
+ -----------------
+ Syntax:
+ get_attnames(table)
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ Returns:
+ List of attribute names
+ Description:
+ Given the name of a table, digs out the list of attribute names.
+
+ 3.6. get - get a tuple from a database table
+ --------------------------------------------
+ Syntax:
+ get(table, arg, [keyname])
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ arg - either a dictionary or the value to be looked up
+ keyname - name of field to use as key (optional)
+ Returns:
+ A dictionary mapping attribute names to row values.
+ Description:
+ This method is the basic mechanism to get a single row. It assumes
+ that the key specifies a unique row. If keyname is not specified
+ then the primary key for the table is used. If arg is a dictionary
+ then the value for the key is taken from it and it is modified to
+ include the new values, replacing existing values where necessary.
+ The oid is also put into the dictionary but in order to allow the
+ caller to work with multiple tables, the attribute name is munged
+ to make it unique. It consists of the string "oid_" followed by
+ the name of the table.
+
+
+ 3.7. insert - insert a tuple into a database table
+ --------------------------------------------------
+ Syntax:
+ insert(table, a)
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ a - a dictionary of values
+ Returns:
+ The OID of the newly inserted row.
+ Description:
+ This method inserts values into the table specified filling in the
+ values from the dictionary. It then reloads the dictionary with the
+ values from the database. This causes the dictionary to be updated
+ with values that are modified by rules, triggers, etc.
+
+
+ 3.8. update
+ -----------
+ Syntax:
+ update(table, a)
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ a - a dictionary of values
+ Returns:
+ A dictionary with the new row
+ Description:
+ Similar to insert but updates an existing row. The update is based
+ on the OID value as munged by get. The array returned is the
+ one sent modified to reflect any changes caused by the update due
+ to triggers, rules, defaults, etc.
+
+ 3.9. clear
+ ----------
+ Syntax:
+ clear(table, [a])
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ a - a dictionary of values
+ Returns:
+ A dictionary with an empty row
+ Description:
+ This method clears all the attributes to values determined by the types.
+ Numeric types are set to 0, dates are set to 'TODAY' and everything
+ else is set to the empty string. If the array argument is present,
+ it is used as the array and any entries matching attribute names
+ are cleared with everything else left unchanged.
+
+ 3.8. delete
+ -----------
+ Syntax:
+ delete(table, a)
+ Parameters:
+ table - name of table
+ a - a dictionary of values
+ Returns:
+ None
+ Description:
+ This method deletes the row from a table. It deletes based on the OID
+ as munged as described above.
+
+
+4. Future directions
+====================
+
+The large object and direct access functions need much more attention.
+
+I want to add a DB-SIG API wrapper around the underlying module. This
+will be in 3.0.
