Involved Source Files batch.go conn.go copy_from.go derived_types.go Package pgx is a PostgreSQL database driver. pgx provides a native PostgreSQL driver and can act as a database/sql driver. The native PostgreSQL interface is similar to the database/sql interface while providing better speed and access to PostgreSQL specific features. Use github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/stdlib to use pgx as a database/sql compatible driver. See that package's documentation for details. Establishing a Connection The primary way of establishing a connection is with [pgx.Connect]: conn, err := pgx.Connect(context.Background(), os.Getenv("DATABASE_URL")) The database connection string can be in URL or key/value format. Both PostgreSQL settings and pgx settings can be specified here. In addition, a config struct can be created by [ParseConfig] and modified before establishing the connection with [ConnectConfig] to configure settings such as tracing that cannot be configured with a connection string. Connection Pool [*pgx.Conn] represents a single connection to the database and is not concurrency safe. Use package github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool for a concurrency safe connection pool. Query Interface pgx implements Query in the familiar database/sql style. However, pgx provides generic functions such as CollectRows and ForEachRow that are a simpler and safer way of processing rows than manually calling defer rows.Close(), rows.Next(), rows.Scan, and rows.Err(). CollectRows can be used collect all returned rows into a slice. rows, _ := conn.Query(context.Background(), "select generate_series(1,$1)", 5) numbers, err := pgx.CollectRows(rows, pgx.RowTo[int32]) if err != nil { return err } // numbers => [1 2 3 4 5] ForEachRow can be used to execute a callback function for every row. This is often easier than iterating over rows directly. var sum, n int32 rows, _ := conn.Query(context.Background(), "select generate_series(1,$1)", 10) _, err := pgx.ForEachRow(rows, []any{&n}, func() error { sum += n return nil }) if err != nil { return err } pgx also implements QueryRow in the same style as database/sql. var name string var weight int64 err := conn.QueryRow(context.Background(), "select name, weight from widgets where id=$1", 42).Scan(&name, &weight) if err != nil { return err } Use Exec to execute a query that does not return a result set. commandTag, err := conn.Exec(context.Background(), "delete from widgets where id=$1", 42) if err != nil { return err } if commandTag.RowsAffected() != 1 { return errors.New("No row found to delete") } PostgreSQL Data Types pgx uses the pgtype package to converting Go values to and from PostgreSQL values. It supports many PostgreSQL types directly and is customizable and extendable. User defined data types such as enums, domains, and composite types may require type registration. See that package's documentation for details. Transactions Transactions are started by calling Begin. tx, err := conn.Begin(context.Background()) if err != nil { return err } // Rollback is safe to call even if the tx is already closed, so if // the tx commits successfully, this is a no-op defer tx.Rollback(context.Background()) _, err = tx.Exec(context.Background(), "insert into foo(id) values (1)") if err != nil { return err } err = tx.Commit(context.Background()) if err != nil { return err } The Tx returned from Begin also implements the Begin method. This can be used to implement pseudo nested transactions. These are internally implemented with savepoints. Use BeginTx to control the transaction mode. BeginTx also can be used to ensure a new transaction is created instead of a pseudo nested transaction. BeginFunc and BeginTxFunc are functions that begin a transaction, execute a function, and commit or rollback the transaction depending on the return value of the function. These can be simpler and less error prone to use. err = pgx.BeginFunc(context.Background(), conn, func(tx pgx.Tx) error { _, err := tx.Exec(context.Background(), "insert into foo(id) values (1)") return err }) if err != nil { return err } Prepared Statements Prepared statements can be manually created with the Prepare method. However, this is rarely necessary because pgx includes an automatic statement cache by default. Queries run through the normal Query, QueryRow, and Exec functions are automatically prepared on first execution and the prepared statement is reused on subsequent executions. See ParseConfig for information on how to customize or disable the statement cache. Copy Protocol Use CopyFrom to efficiently insert multiple rows at a time using the PostgreSQL copy protocol. CopyFrom accepts a CopyFromSource interface. If the data is already in a [][]any use CopyFromRows to wrap it in a CopyFromSource interface. Or implement CopyFromSource to avoid buffering the entire data set in memory. rows := [][]any{ {"John", "Smith", int32(36)}, {"Jane", "Doe", int32(29)}, } copyCount, err := conn.CopyFrom( context.Background(), pgx.Identifier{"people"}, []string{"first_name", "last_name", "age"}, pgx.CopyFromRows(rows), ) When you already have a typed array using CopyFromSlice can be more convenient. rows := []User{ {"John", "Smith", 36}, {"Jane", "Doe", 29}, } copyCount, err := conn.CopyFrom( context.Background(), pgx.Identifier{"people"}, []string{"first_name", "last_name", "age"}, pgx.CopyFromSlice(len(rows), func(i int) ([]any, error) { return []any{rows[i].FirstName, rows[i].LastName, rows[i].Age}, nil }), ) CopyFrom can be faster than an insert with as few as 5 rows. Listen and Notify pgx can listen to the PostgreSQL notification system with the `Conn.WaitForNotification` method. It blocks until a notification is received or the context is canceled. _, err := conn.Exec(context.Background(), "listen channelname") if err != nil { return err } notification, err := conn.WaitForNotification(context.Background()) if err != nil { return err } // do something with notification Tracing and Logging pgx supports tracing by setting ConnConfig.Tracer. To combine several tracers you can use the multitracer.Tracer. In addition, the tracelog package provides the TraceLog type which lets a traditional logger act as a Tracer. For debug tracing of the actual PostgreSQL wire protocol messages see github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgproto3. Lower Level PostgreSQL Functionality github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgconn contains a lower level PostgreSQL driver roughly at the level of libpq. pgx.Conn is implemented on top of pgconn. The Conn.PgConn() method can be used to access this lower layer. PgBouncer By default pgx automatically uses prepared statements. Prepared statements are incompatible with PgBouncer. This can be disabled by setting a different QueryExecMode in ConnConfig.DefaultQueryExecMode. extended_query_builder.go large_objects.go named_args.go rows.go tracer.go tx.go values.go

Batch queries are a way of bundling multiple queries together to avoid unnecessary network round trips. A Batch must only be sent once. QueuedQueries []*QueuedQuery Len returns number of queries that have been queued so far. Queue queues a query to batch b. query can be an SQL query or the name of a prepared statement. The only pgx option argument that is supported is QueryRewriter. Queries are executed using the connection's DefaultQueryExecMode. While query can contain multiple statements if the connection's DefaultQueryExecMode is QueryModeSimple, this should be avoided. QueuedQuery.Fn must not be set as it will only be called for the first query. That is, QueuedQuery.Query, QueuedQuery.QueryRow, and QueuedQuery.Exec must not be called. In addition, any error messages or tracing that include the current query may reference the wrong query. func (*Conn).SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) (br BatchResults) func Tx.SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) BatchResults func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Conn).SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) BatchResults func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Pool).SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) BatchResults func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Tx).SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) BatchResults
Close closes the batch operation. All unread results are read and any callback functions registered with QueuedQuery.Query, QueuedQuery.QueryRow, or QueuedQuery.Exec will be called. If a callback function returns an error or the batch encounters an error subsequent callback functions will not be called. For simple batch inserts inside a transaction or similar queries, it's sufficient to not set any callbacks, and just handle the return value of Close. Close must be called before the underlying connection can be used again. Any error that occurred during a batch operation may have made it impossible to resyncronize the connection with the server. In this case the underlying connection will have been closed. Close is safe to call multiple times. If it returns an error subsequent calls will return the same error. Callback functions will not be rerun. Exec reads the results from the next query in the batch as if the query has been sent with Conn.Exec. Prefer calling Exec on the QueuedQuery, or just calling Close. Query reads the results from the next query in the batch as if the query has been sent with Conn.Query. Prefer calling Query on the QueuedQuery. QueryRow reads the results from the next query in the batch as if the query has been sent with Conn.QueryRow. Prefer calling QueryRow on the QueuedQuery.

BatchTracer traces SendBatch. ( BatchTracer) TraceBatchEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchEndData) ( BatchTracer) TraceBatchQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchQueryData) TraceBatchStart is called at the beginning of SendBatch calls. The returned context is used for the rest of the call and will be passed to TraceBatchQuery and TraceBatchEnd. *github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.TraceLog

Conn is a PostgreSQL connection handle. It is not safe for concurrent usage. Use a connection pool to manage access to multiple database connections from multiple goroutines. Begin starts a transaction. Unlike database/sql, the context only affects the begin command. i.e. there is no auto-rollback on context cancellation. BeginTx starts a transaction with txOptions determining the transaction mode. Unlike database/sql, the context only affects the begin command. i.e. there is no auto-rollback on context cancellation. Close closes a connection. It is safe to call Close on an already closed connection. Config returns a copy of config that was used to establish this connection. CopyFrom uses the PostgreSQL copy protocol to perform bulk data insertion. It returns the number of rows copied and an error. CopyFrom requires all values use the binary format. A pgtype.Type that supports the binary format must be registered for the type of each column. Almost all types implemented by pgx support the binary format. Even though enum types appear to be strings they still must be registered to use with CopyFrom. This can be done with Conn.LoadType and pgtype.Map.RegisterType. Deallocate releases a prepared statement. Calling Deallocate on a non-existent prepared statement will succeed. DeallocateAll releases all previously prepared statements from the server and client, where it also resets the statement and description cache. Exec executes sql. sql can be either a prepared statement name or an SQL string. arguments should be referenced positionally from the sql string as $1, $2, etc. IsClosed reports if the connection has been closed. LoadType inspects the database for typeName and produces a pgtype.Type suitable for registration. typeName must be the name of a type where the underlying type(s) is already understood by pgx. It is for derived types. In particular, typeName must be one of the following: - An array type name of a type that is already registered. e.g. "_foo" when "foo" is registered. - A composite type name where all field types are already registered. - A domain type name where the base type is already registered. - An enum type name. - A range type name where the element type is already registered. - A multirange type name where the element type is already registered. LoadTypes performs a single (complex) query, returning all the required information to register the named types, as well as any other types directly or indirectly required to complete the registration. The result of this call can be passed into RegisterTypes to complete the process. PgConn returns the underlying *pgconn.PgConn. This is an escape hatch method that allows lower level access to the PostgreSQL connection than pgx exposes. It is strongly recommended that the connection be idle (no in-progress queries) before the underlying *pgconn.PgConn is used and the connection must be returned to the same state before any *pgx.Conn methods are again used. Ping delegates to the underlying *pgconn.PgConn.Ping. Prepare creates a prepared statement with name and sql. sql can contain placeholders for bound parameters. These placeholders are referenced positionally as $1, $2, etc. name can be used instead of sql with Query, QueryRow, and Exec to execute the statement. It can also be used with Batch.Queue. The underlying PostgreSQL identifier for the prepared statement will be name if name != sql or a digest of sql if name == sql. Prepare is idempotent; i.e. it is safe to call Prepare multiple times with the same name and sql arguments. This allows a code path to Prepare and Query/Exec without concern for if the statement has already been prepared. Query sends a query to the server and returns a Rows to read the results. Only errors encountered sending the query and initializing Rows will be returned. Err() on the returned Rows must be checked after the Rows is closed to determine if the query executed successfully. The returned Rows must be closed before the connection can be used again. It is safe to attempt to read from the returned Rows even if an error is returned. The error will be the available in rows.Err() after rows are closed. It is allowed to ignore the error returned from Query and handle it in Rows. It is possible for a call of FieldDescriptions on the returned Rows to return nil even if the Query call did not return an error. It is possible for a query to return one or more rows before encountering an error. In most cases the rows should be collected before processing rather than processed while receiving each row. This avoids the possibility of the application processing rows from a query that the server rejected. The CollectRows function is useful here. An implementor of QueryRewriter may be passed as the first element of args. It can rewrite the sql and change or replace args. For example, NamedArgs is QueryRewriter that implements named arguments. For extra control over how the query is executed, the types QueryExecMode, QueryResultFormats, and QueryResultFormatsByOID may be used as the first args to control exactly how the query is executed. This is rarely needed. See the documentation for those types for details. QueryRow is a convenience wrapper over Query. Any error that occurs while querying is deferred until calling Scan on the returned Row. That Row will error with ErrNoRows if no rows are returned. SendBatch sends all queued queries to the server at once. All queries are run in an implicit transaction unless explicit transaction control statements are executed. The returned BatchResults must be closed before the connection is used again. Depending on the QueryExecMode, all queries may be prepared before any are executed. This means that creating a table and using it in a subsequent query in the same batch can fail. TypeMap returns the connection info used for this connection. WaitForNotification waits for a PostgreSQL notification. It wraps the underlying pgconn notification system in a slightly more convenient form. *Conn : database/sql/driver.Pinger func Connect(ctx context.Context, connString string) (*Conn, error) func ConnectConfig(ctx context.Context, connConfig *ConnConfig) (*Conn, error) func ConnectWithOptions(ctx context.Context, connString string, options ParseConfigOptions) (*Conn, error) func Rows.Conn() *Conn func Tx.Conn() *Conn func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Conn).Conn() *Conn func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Conn).Hijack() *Conn func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Tx).Conn() *Conn func BatchTracer.TraceBatchEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchEndData) func BatchTracer.TraceBatchQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchQueryData) func BatchTracer.TraceBatchStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchStartData) context.Context func CopyFromTracer.TraceCopyFromEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceCopyFromEndData) func CopyFromTracer.TraceCopyFromStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceCopyFromStartData) context.Context func NamedArgs.RewriteQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, sql string, args []any) (newSQL string, newArgs []any, err error) func PrepareTracer.TracePrepareEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TracePrepareEndData) func PrepareTracer.TracePrepareStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TracePrepareStartData) context.Context func QueryRewriter.RewriteQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, sql string, args []any) (newSQL string, newArgs []any, err error) func QueryTracer.TraceQueryEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceQueryEndData) func QueryTracer.TraceQueryStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceQueryStartData) context.Context func StrictNamedArgs.RewriteQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, sql string, args []any) (newSQL string, newArgs []any, err error) func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceBatchEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchEndData) func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceBatchQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchQueryData) func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceBatchStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchStartData) context.Context func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceCopyFromEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceCopyFromEndData) func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceCopyFromStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceCopyFromStartData) context.Context func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TracePrepareEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TracePrepareEndData) func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TracePrepareStart(ctx context.Context, _ *Conn, data TracePrepareStartData) context.Context func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceQueryEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceQueryEndData) func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.(*TraceLog).TraceQueryStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceQueryStartData) context.Context
ConnConfig contains all the options used to establish a connection. It must be created by ParseConfig and then it can be modified. A manually initialized ConnConfig will cause ConnectConfig to panic. Config pgconn.Config AfterConnect is called after ValidateConnect. It can be used to set up the connection (e.g. Set session variables or prepare statements). If this returns an error the connection attempt fails. AfterNetConnect is called after the network connection, including TLS if applicable, is established but before any PostgreSQL protocol communication. It takes the established net.Conn and returns a net.Conn that will be used in its place. It can be used to wrap the net.Conn (e.g. for logging, diagnostics, or testing). Its functionality has some overlap with DialFunc. However, DialFunc takes place before TLS is established and cannot be used to control the final net.Conn used for PostgreSQL protocol communication while AfterNetConnect can. BuildContextWatcherHandler is called to create a ContextWatcherHandler for a connection. The handler is called when a context passed to a PgConn method is canceled. Config.BuildFrontend pgconn.BuildFrontendFunc ChannelBinding is the channel_binding parameter for SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS authentication. Valid values: "disable", "prefer", "require". Defaults to "prefer". Config.ConnectTimeout time.Duration Config.Database string // e.g. net.Dialer.DialContext Config.Fallbacks []*pgconn.FallbackConfig // host (e.g. localhost) or absolute path to unix domain socket directory (e.g. /private/tmp) Config.KerberosSpn string Config.KerberosSrvName string // e.g. net.Resolver.LookupHost MaxProtocolVersion is the maximum PostgreSQL protocol version to request from the server. Valid values: "3.0", "3.2", "latest". Defaults to "3.0" for compatibility. MinProtocolVersion is the minimum acceptable PostgreSQL protocol version. If the server does not support at least this version, the connection will fail. Valid values: "3.0", "3.2", "latest". Defaults to "3.0". OAuthTokenProvider is a function that returns an OAuth token for authentication. If set, it will be used for OAUTHBEARER SASL authentication when the server requests it. OnNotice is a callback function called when a notice response is received. OnNotification is a callback function called when a notification from the LISTEN/NOTIFY system is received. OnPgError is a callback function called when a Postgres error is received by the server. The default handler will close the connection on any FATAL errors. If you override this handler you should call the previously set handler or ensure that you close on FATAL errors by returning false. Config.Password string Config.Port uint16 // Run-time parameters to set on connection as session default values (e.g. search_path or application_name) // sslnegotiation=postgres or sslnegotiation=direct // nil disables TLS Config.User string ValidateConnect is called during a connection attempt after a successful authentication with the PostgreSQL server. It can be used to validate that the server is acceptable. If this returns an error the connection is closed and the next fallback config is tried. This allows implementing high availability behavior such as libpq does with target_session_attrs. DefaultQueryExecMode controls the default mode for executing queries. By default pgx uses the extended protocol and automatically prepares and caches prepared statements. However, this may be incompatible with proxies such as PGBouncer. In this case it may be preferable to use QueryExecModeExec or QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol. The same functionality can be controlled on a per query basis by passing a QueryExecMode as the first query argument. DescriptionCacheCapacity is the maximum size of the description cache used when executing a query with "cache_describe" query exec mode. StatementCacheCapacity is maximum size of the statement cache used when executing a query with "cache_statement" query exec mode. Tracer QueryTracer ConnString returns the connection string as parsed by pgx.ParseConfig into pgx.ConnConfig. Copy returns a deep copy of the config that is safe to use and modify. The only exception is the tls.Config: according to the tls.Config docs it must not be modified after creation. func ParseConfig(connString string) (*ConnConfig, error) func ParseConfigWithOptions(connString string, options ParseConfigOptions) (*ConnConfig, error) func (*Conn).Config() *ConnConfig func (*ConnConfig).Copy() *ConnConfig func ConnectConfig(ctx context.Context, connConfig *ConnConfig) (*Conn, error)

CopyFromSource is the interface used by *Conn.CopyFrom as the source for copy data. Err returns any error that has been encountered by the CopyFromSource. If this is not nil *Conn.CopyFrom will abort the copy. Next returns true if there is another row and makes the next row data available to Values(). When there are no more rows available or an error has occurred it returns false. Values returns the values for the current row.

ExtendedQueryBuilder is used to choose the parameter formats, to format the parameters and to choose the result formats for an extended query. ParamFormats []int16 ParamValues [][]byte ResultFormats []int16 Build sets ParamValues, ParamFormats, and ResultFormats for use with *PgConn.ExecParams or *PgConn.ExecPrepared. If sd is nil then QueryExecModeExec behavior will be used.
Identifier a PostgreSQL identifier or name. Identifiers can be composed of multiple parts such as ["schema", "table"] or ["table", "column"].

A LargeObject is a large object stored on the server. It is only valid within the transaction that it was initialized in. It uses the context it was initialized with for all operations. It implements these interfaces: io.Writer io.Reader io.Seeker io.Closer Close the large object descriptor. Read reads up to len(p) bytes into p returning the number of bytes read. Seek moves the current location pointer to the new location specified by offset. Tell returns the current read or write location of the large object descriptor. Truncate the large object to size. Write writes p to the large object and returns the number of bytes written and an error if not all of p was written. *LargeObject : internal/bisect.Writer *LargeObject : io.Closer *LargeObject : io.ReadCloser *LargeObject : io.Reader *LargeObject : io.ReadSeekCloser *LargeObject : io.ReadSeeker *LargeObject : io.ReadWriteCloser *LargeObject : io.ReadWriter *LargeObject : io.ReadWriteSeeker *LargeObject : io.Seeker *LargeObject : io.WriteCloser *LargeObject : io.Writer *LargeObject : io.WriteSeeker func (*LargeObjects).Open(ctx context.Context, oid uint32, mode LargeObjectMode) (*LargeObject, error)

LargeObjects is a structure used to access the large objects API. It is only valid within the transaction where it was created. For more details see: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/largeobjects.html Create creates a new large object. If oid is zero, the server assigns an unused OID. Open opens an existing large object with the given mode. ctx will also be used for all operations on the opened large object. Unlink removes a large object from the database. func Tx.LargeObjects() LargeObjects func github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool.(*Tx).LargeObjects() LargeObjects
NamedArgs can be used as the first argument to a query method. It will replace every '@' named placeholder with a '$' ordinal placeholder and construct the appropriate arguments. For example, the following two queries are equivalent: conn.Query(ctx, "select * from widgets where foo = @foo and bar = @bar", pgx.NamedArgs{"foo": 1, "bar": 2}) conn.Query(ctx, "select * from widgets where foo = $1 and bar = $2", 1, 2) Named placeholders are case sensitive and must start with a letter or underscore. Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers, or underscores. RewriteQuery implements the QueryRewriter interface. NamedArgs : QueryRewriter
ParseConfigOptions contains options that control how a config is built such as getsslpassword. ParseConfigOptions pgconn.ParseConfigOptions GetSSLPassword gets the password to decrypt a SSL client certificate. This is analogous to the libpq function PQsetSSLKeyPassHook_OpenSSL. func ConnectWithOptions(ctx context.Context, connString string, options ParseConfigOptions) (*Conn, error) func ParseConfigWithOptions(connString string, options ParseConfigOptions) (*ConnConfig, error)
PrepareTracer traces Prepare. ( PrepareTracer) TracePrepareEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TracePrepareEndData) TracePrepareStart is called at the beginning of Prepare calls. The returned context is used for the rest of the call and will be passed to TracePrepareEnd. *github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/tracelog.TraceLog
( QueryExecMode) String() string QueryExecMode : expvar.Var QueryExecMode : fmt.Stringer const QueryExecModeCacheDescribe const QueryExecModeCacheStatement const QueryExecModeDescribeExec const QueryExecModeExec const QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol
QueryResultFormats controls the result format (text=0, binary=1) of a query by result column position.
QueryResultFormatsByOID controls the result format (text=0, binary=1) of a query by the result column OID.
QueryRewriter rewrites a query when used as the first arguments to a query method. ( QueryRewriter) RewriteQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, sql string, args []any) (newSQL string, newArgs []any, err error) NamedArgs StrictNamedArgs
QueryTracer traces Query, QueryRow, and Exec. ( QueryTracer) TraceQueryEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceQueryEndData) TraceQueryStart is called at the beginning of Query, QueryRow, and Exec calls.

QueuedQuery is a query that has been queued for execution via a Batch. Arguments []any Fn batchItemFunc SQL string Exec sets fn to be called when the response to qq is received. Note: for simple batch insert uses where it is not required to handle each potential error individually, it's sufficient to not set any callbacks, and just handle the return value of BatchResults.Close. Query sets fn to be called when the response to qq is received. Query sets fn to be called when the response to qq is received. func (*Batch).Queue(query string, arguments ...any) *QueuedQuery
Row is a convenience wrapper over Rows that is returned by QueryRow. Row is an interface instead of a struct to allow tests to mock QueryRow. However, adding a method to an interface is technically a breaking change. Because of this the Row interface is partially excluded from semantic version requirements. Methods will not be removed or changed, but new methods may be added. Scan works the same as Rows. with the following exceptions. If no rows were found it returns ErrNoRows. If multiple rows are returned it ignores all but the first.

Rows is the result set returned from *Conn.Query. Rows must be closed before the *Conn can be used again. Rows are closed by explicitly calling Close(), calling Next() until it returns false, or when a fatal error occurs. Once a Rows is closed the only methods that may be called are Close(), Err(), and CommandTag(). Rows is an interface instead of a struct to allow tests to mock Query. However, adding a method to an interface is technically a breaking change. Because of this the Rows interface is partially excluded from semantic version requirements. Methods will not be removed or changed, but new methods may be added. Close closes the rows, making the connection ready for use again. It is safe to call Close after rows is already closed. CommandTag returns the command tag from this query. It is only available after Rows is closed. Conn returns the underlying *Conn on which the query was executed. This may return nil if Rows did not come from a *Conn (e.g. if it was created by RowsFromResultReader) Err returns any error that occurred while executing a query or reading its results. Err must be called after the Rows is closed (either by calling Close or by Next returning false) to check if the query was successful. If it is called before the Rows is closed it may return nil even if the query failed on the server. FieldDescriptions returns the field descriptions of the columns. It may return nil. In particular this can occur when there was an error executing the query. Next prepares the next row for reading. It returns true if there is another row and false if no more rows are available or a fatal error has occurred. It automatically closes rows upon returning false (whether due to all rows having been read or due to an error). Callers should check rows.Err() after rows.Next() returns false to detect whether result-set reading ended prematurely due to an error. See Conn.Query for details. For simpler error handling, consider using the higher-level pgx v5 CollectRows() and ForEachRow() helpers instead. RawValues returns the unparsed bytes of the row values. The returned data is only valid until the next Next call or the Rows is closed. Scan reads the values from the current row into dest values positionally. dest can include pointers to core types, values implementing the Scanner interface, and nil. nil will skip the value entirely. It is an error to call Scan without first calling Next() and checking that it returned true. Rows is automatically closed upon error. Values returns the decoded row values. As with Scan(), it is an error to call Values without first calling Next() and checking that it returned true.

Tx represents a database transaction. Tx is an interface instead of a struct to enable connection pools to be implemented without relying on internal pgx state, to support pseudo-nested transactions with savepoints, and to allow tests to mock transactions. However, adding a method to an interface is technically a breaking change. If new methods are added to Conn it may be desirable to add them to Tx as well. Because of this the Tx interface is partially excluded from semantic version requirements. Methods will not be removed or changed, but new methods may be added. Begin starts a pseudo nested transaction. Commit commits the transaction if this is a real transaction or releases the savepoint if this is a pseudo nested transaction. Commit will return an error where errors.Is(ErrTxClosed) is true if the Tx is already closed, but is otherwise safe to call multiple times. If the commit fails with a rollback status (e.g. the transaction was already in a broken state) then an error where errors.Is(ErrTxCommitRollback) is true will be returned. Conn returns the underlying *Conn that on which this transaction is executing.

Rollback will return an error where errors.Is(ErrTxClosed) is true if the Tx is already closed, but is otherwise safe to call multiple times. Hence, a defer tx.Rollback() is safe even if tx.Commit() will be called first in a non-error condition. Any other failure of a real transaction will result in the connection being closed.

TxIsoLevel is the transaction isolation level (serializable, repeatable read, read committed or read uncommitted) const ReadCommitted const ReadUncommitted const RepeatableRead const Serializable
TxOptions are transaction modes within a transaction block AccessMode TxAccessMode BeginQuery is the SQL query that will be executed to begin the transaction.

Package-Level Functions (total 53, in which 26 are exported)
Type Parameters: T: any S: ~[]T AppendRows iterates through rows, calling fn for each row, and appending the results into a slice of T. This function closes the rows automatically on return.
BeginFunc calls Begin on db and then calls fn. If fn does not return an error then it calls Commit on db. If fn returns an error it calls Rollback on db. The context will be used when executing the transaction control statements (BEGIN, ROLLBACK, and COMMIT) but does not otherwise affect the execution of fn.
BeginTxFunc calls BeginTx on db and then calls fn. If fn does not return an error then it calls Commit on db. If fn returns an error it calls Rollback on db. The context will be used when executing the transaction control statements (BEGIN, ROLLBACK, and COMMIT) but does not otherwise affect the execution of fn.
Type Parameters: T: any CollectExactlyOneRow calls fn for the first row in rows and returns the result. - If no rows are found returns an error where errors.Is(ErrNoRows) is true. - If more than 1 row is found returns an error where errors.Is(ErrTooManyRows) is true. This function closes the rows automatically on return.
Type Parameters: T: any CollectOneRow calls fn for the first row in rows and returns the result. If no rows are found returns an error where errors.Is(ErrNoRows) is true. CollectOneRow is to CollectRows as QueryRow is to Query. This function closes the rows automatically on return.
Type Parameters: T: any CollectRows iterates through rows, calling fn for each row, and collecting the results into a slice of T. This function closes the rows automatically on return.
Connect establishes a connection with a PostgreSQL server with a connection string. See pgconn.Connect for details.
ConnectConfig establishes a connection with a PostgreSQL server with a configuration struct. connConfig must have been created by ParseConfig.
ConnectWithOptions behaves exactly like Connect with the addition of options. At the present options is only used to provide a GetSSLPassword function.
CopyFromFunc returns a CopyFromSource interface that relies on nxtf for values. nxtf returns rows until it either signals an 'end of data' by returning row=nil and err=nil, or it returns an error. If nxtf returns an error, the copy is aborted.
CopyFromRows returns a CopyFromSource interface over the provided rows slice making it usable by *Conn.CopyFrom.
CopyFromSlice returns a CopyFromSource interface over a dynamic func making it usable by *Conn.CopyFrom.
ForEachRow iterates through rows. For each row it scans into the elements of scans and calls fn. If any row fails to scan or fn returns an error the query will be aborted and the error will be returned. Rows will be closed when ForEachRow returns.
ParseConfig creates a ConnConfig from a connection string. ParseConfig handles all options that [pgconn.ParseConfig] does. In addition, it accepts the following options: - default_query_exec_mode. Possible values: "cache_statement", "cache_describe", "describe_exec", "exec", and "simple_protocol". See QueryExecMode constant documentation for the meaning of these values. Default: "cache_statement". - statement_cache_capacity. The maximum size of the statement cache used when executing a query with "cache_statement" query exec mode. Default: 512. - description_cache_capacity. The maximum size of the description cache used when executing a query with "cache_describe" query exec mode. Default: 512.
ParseConfigWithOptions behaves exactly as ParseConfig does with the addition of options. At the present options is only used to provide a GetSSLPassword function.
RowsFromResultReader returns a Rows that will read from values resultReader and decode with typeMap. It can be used to read from the lower level pgconn interface.
Type Parameters: T: any RowTo returns a T scanned from row.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToAddrOf returns the address of a T scanned from row.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToAddrOfStructByName returns the address of a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have the same number of named public fields as row has fields.

If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToAddrOfStructByNameLax returns the address of a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have greater than or equal number of named public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by name. The match is case-insensitive. The database column name can be overridden with a "db" struct tag. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToAddrOfStructByPos returns the address of a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have the same number a public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by position. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.
RowToMap returns a map scanned from row.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToStructByName returns a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have the same number of named public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by name. The match is case-insensitive. The database column name can be overridden with a "db" struct tag. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToStructByNameLax returns a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have greater than or equal number of named public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by name. The match is case-insensitive. The database column name can be overridden with a "db" struct tag. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.
Type Parameters: T: any RowToStructByPos returns a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have the same number of public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by position. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.
ScanRow decodes raw row data into dest. It can be used to scan rows read from the lower level pgconn interface. typeMap - OID to Go type mapping. fieldDescriptions - OID and format of values values - the raw data as returned from the PostgreSQL server dest - the destination that values will be decoded into
Package-Level Variables (total 10, in which 4 are exported)
ErrNoRows occurs when rows are expected but none are returned.
ErrTooManyRows occurs when more rows than expected are returned.
ErrTxCommitRollback occurs when an error has occurred in a transaction and Commit() is called. PostgreSQL accepts COMMIT on aborted transactions, but it is treated as ROLLBACK.

Cache statement descriptions (i.e. argument and result types) and assume they do not change. This uses the extended protocol. Queries are executed in a single round trip after the description is cached. If the database schema is modified or the search_path is changed after a statement is cached then the first execution of a previously cached query may fail. e.g. If the number of columns returned by a "SELECT *" changes or the type of a column is changed.
Automatically prepare and cache statements. This uses the extended protocol. Queries are executed in a single round trip after the statement is cached. This is the default. If the database schema is modified or the search_path is changed after a statement is cached then the first execution of a previously cached query may fail. e.g. If the number of columns returned by a "SELECT *" changes or the type of a column is changed.
Get the statement description on every execution. This uses the extended protocol. Queries require two round trips to execute. It does not use named prepared statements. But it does use the unnamed prepared statement to get the statement description on the first round trip and then uses it to execute the query on the second round trip. This may cause problems with connection poolers that switch the underlying connection between round trips. It is safe even when the database schema is modified concurrently.
Assume the PostgreSQL query parameter types based on the Go type of the arguments. This uses the extended protocol with text formatted parameters and results. Queries are executed in a single round trip. Type mappings can be registered with pgtype.Map.RegisterDefaultPgType. Queries will be rejected that have arguments that are unregistered or ambiguous. e.g. A map[string]string may have the PostgreSQL type json or hstore. Modes that know the PostgreSQL type can use a map[string]string directly as an argument. This mode cannot. On rare occasions user defined types may behave differently when encoded in the text format instead of the binary format. For example, this could happen if a "type RomanNumeral int32" implements fmt.Stringer to format integers as Roman numerals (e.g. 7 is VII). The binary format would properly encode the integer 7 as the binary value for 7. But the text format would encode the integer 7 as the string "VII". As QueryExecModeExec uses the text format, it is possible that changing query mode from another mode to QueryExecModeExec could change the behavior of the query. This should not occur with types pgx supports directly and can be avoided by registering the types with pgtype.Map.RegisterDefaultPgType and implementing the appropriate type interfaces. In the cas of RomanNumeral, it should implement pgtype.Int64Valuer.
Use the simple protocol. Assume the PostgreSQL query parameter types based on the Go type of the arguments. This is especially significant for []byte values. []byte values are encoded as PostgreSQL bytea. string must be used instead for text type values including json and jsonb. Type mappings can be registered with pgtype.Map.RegisterDefaultPgType. Queries will be rejected that have arguments that are unregistered or ambiguous. e.g. A map[string]string may have the PostgreSQL type json or hstore. Modes that know the PostgreSQL type can use a map[string]string directly as an argument. This mode cannot. Queries are executed in a single round trip. QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol should have the user application visible behavior as QueryExecModeExec. This includes the warning regarding differences in text format and binary format encoding with user defined types. There may be other minor exceptions such as behavior when multiple result returning queries are erroneously sent in a single string. QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol uses client side parameter interpolation. All values are quoted and escaped. Prefer QueryExecModeExec over QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol whenever possible. In general QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol should only be used if connecting to a proxy server, connection pool server, or non-PostgreSQL server that does not support the extended protocol.
