postgres 3.0.6

PostgreSQL database driver. Supports statement reuse and binary protocol and connection pooling.

Changelog

3.0.6

• Allow passing a SecurityContext when opening postgres connections.

3.0.5

• Support for type char/character/bpchar.

3.0.4

• Fix: SSL connection problem handler.

3.0.3

• Using const for ConnectionSettings, SessionSettings and PoolSettings classes. (#267 by Gerrel)
• Parsing of Sql.indexed and Sql.named happens when the Connection starts to interpret it. Errors with unknown type names are thrown in this later step.

3.0.2

• Fix: Dispose disconnected pool Connections. (#260 by nehzata).
• Deprecated ParseMessage constructor's types argument, use typeOids instead. (As most users don't access this directly, it will be removed in 3.1.0).

3.0.1

• Fix: do not allow execute after closing the Connection.
• Session.runTx() supports rolling back the transaction through TxSession.rollback() (otherwise any exception has the same effect, but callers need to catch it).
• Supporting more type aliases, including serial4, serial8, integer...
• Deprecated all of v2 API, legacy fallback will be removed in next minor version (3.1.0).

3.0.0

New features:

• New API (better names and consistency).
• New SQL parsing and configurable query substitutions.
• Integrated connection pooling.
• A somewhat-compatible legacy API support to help migrations (will be removed in 3.1.0).

BREAKING CHANGES

The package had a partial rewrite affecting public client API and internal behaviour, keeping most of the wire protocol handling from the old version.

Users of this package must rewrite and test their application when upgrading.

Notable breaking behaviour changes:

• Simple query protocol allows sending queries to the server without awaiting on the result. The new implementation queues these request on the client instead.
• Table name OIDs are not fetched or cached, this information from the result schema is absent, also causing mappedResultsQuery to be removed from the new API.
• Queries are not cached implicitly, explicit prepared statements can be used instead.
• interval values are returned as Interval type instead of Duration.
• A newly added UndecodedBytes instances are returned when the package does not know or has not implemented the appropriate type decoding yet. Previously these values were auto-encoded to String and if that failed the Uint8List were used.
• Types, fields and parameter names may have been renamed to be more consistent or more aligned with the Dart naming guides.

Legacy compatibility layer

package:postgres/legacy.dart provides a somewhat backwards-compatible API via the PostgreSQLConnection.withV3() constructor. Many features, including the ones mentioned above are missing and/or throw UnimplementedError when called.

Migration

• You may use the legacy compatibility layer to check if your code relies on any of the above mentioned feature, rewrite if needed.
• Start using the new API, incrementally, when possible.
• For most queries, you may use Sql.named('SELECT ...') to keep the default name- and Map-based query @variable`` substitution, or you may use the raw $1` version (with 1-based indexes).
• Always write tests.

If you have any issues with migration or with the new behavior, please open an issue on the package's GitHub issue tracker or discussions.

Thanks

The rewrite happened because of many contributions (including code, comments or criticism) on the new direction and design. I'd like to call out especially to simolus3 and osaxma, who helped to push forward.

2.6.3

• Allow encoding to be specified for connections. The setting will be used for all connection-related string conversions.
• Allow generic List type as substitution values in binary encoding (as long as the inner type matches).
• Refactor: replaced UTF8BackedString with generic encoding (not complete).
• Breaking change in package:postgres/messages.dart: default constructors made internal, parsing is done with more efficient reader.

2.6.2

• Improved (experimental) v3 implementation. #98 and #102 by simolus3.

2.6.1

• Added support for bigInt (int8) arrays. #41 by schultek.

2.6.0

• Updated to package:lints.
• Adding lowerCase values to AuthenticationScheme.
• Add new package:postgres/postgres_v3_experimental.dart library as a preview. It exposes the postgres client under a new API that will replace the current one in version 3.0.0 of this package. At the moment, the new library is experimental and not fully implemented. Until the actual 3.0.0 release, the new APIs might change without a breaking version.

2.5.2

• Connecting without a password for non-trusted users throws an exception instead of timing out #68 by osaxma.

2.5.1

• Use substitutionValues with useSimpleQueryProtocol #62 by osaxma

2.5.0

• Added Support for Streaming Replication Protocol which included the following changes:
  • Replication Mode Messages Handling. #58 by osaxma
  • Add new message types for replication. #57 by osaxma
  • Add connection configuration for Streaming Replication Protocol. #56 by osaxma
  • Raise the min sdk version to support enhanced enums. #55 by osaxma
  • Add LSN type and time conversion to and from ms-since-Y2K. #53 by osaxma
  • Fix affected rows parsing in CommandCompleteMessage. #52 by osaxma
  • Introduced new APIs to PostgreSQLConnection: addMessage to send client messages, messages stream to listen to server messages & useSimpleQueryProtocol option in query method. #51 by osaxma

2.4.6

• Fix crash when manually issuing a transaction statement like BEGIN without using the high-level transaction APIs. #47 by simolus3.
