val connect :
?host:string ->

?max_message_length:int ->

t Io.t
Connect to the database. The normal $PGDATABASE
, etc. environment variables are available.
max_message_length
is the maximum message length accepted from the back-end. The default is Sys.max_string_length
, which means that we will try to read as much data from the back-end as we can, and this may cause us to run out of memory (particularly on 64 bit machines), causing a possible denial of service. You may want to set this to a smaller size to avoid this happening.
Close the database handle. You must call this after you have finished with the handle, or else you will get leaked file descriptors.
val with_conn :
?host:string ->
?port:int ->
?user:string ->
?password:string ->
?database:string ->
?unix_domain_socket_dir:string ->
?verbose:int ->
?max_message_length:int ->
(t -> 'a Io.t) ->
'a Io.t
Calls connect
, passes the DB handle to the callback, then calls close
. This is the preferred way to use this library since it cleans up after itself.
Ping the database. If the database is not available, some sort of exception will be thrown.
This function is a wrapper of ping
that returns a boolean instead of raising an exception.
val begin_work :
?isolation:Isolation.t ->
?access:Access.t ->
?deferrable:bool ->
t ->
t Io.t
Start a transaction.
Commit a transaction. Throws an exception if no transaction is open. Use with_transaction
when possible.
Rollback a transaction. Throws an exception if no transaction is open. Use with_transaction
when possible.
val with_transaction :
?isolation:Isolation.t ->
?access:Access.t ->
?deferrable:bool ->
t ->
(t -> 'b Io.t) ->
'b Io.t
with_transaction db ?isolation ?access ?deferrable f
wraps your function f
inside a transactional block. See begin_work
for a description of isolation
, access
, and deferrable
. If f
throws an exception, the transaction will be rolled back. Otherwise the transaction will be commited. It is an error to call commit
or rollback
manually inside of this function.
module Prepared : sig ... end
execute conn ?params query
prepares and executes the statement query
and returns the result.
execute_unit conn ?params query
same as execute, but intended for database calls that have side-affects rather than returning results
val execute_fold :
?params:Types.param list ->
t ->
string ->
init:'accum ->
f:('accum -> Types.row -> 'accum Io.t) ->
'accum Io.t
val execute_map :
?params:Types.param list ->
t ->
string ->
f:(Types.row -> 'a Io.t) ->
'a list Io.t
val execute_iter :
?params:Types.param list ->
t ->
string ->
f:(Types.row -> unit Io.t) ->
unit Io.t
val execute_many :
t ->
query:string ->
params:Types.param list list ->
Types.row list list Io.t
Prepares a query as in execute
and then executes it once per set of parameters in params
. This is more efficient than calling execute
in a loop because the query is only prepared once.
simple_query conn query
executes the command(s) in the given query
and returns a list of query results (i.e. if you run two queries, you will get a list with two elements: the results of the first query followed by the results of the second query.
