New features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Added `~psycopg2.extensions.encrypt_password()` function (:ticket:`#576`).
|
||||
- Added `~psycopg2.extensions.Column.table_oid` and
|
||||
`~psycopg2.extensions.Column.table_column` attributes on `cursor.description`
|
||||
items (:ticket:`#661`).
|
||||
- Added `connection.host` property (:ticket:`#726`).
|
||||
- `~psycopg2.sql.Identifier` can represent qualified names in SQL composition
|
||||
(:ticket:`#732`).

.. attribute:: description
|
||||
|
||||
This read-only attribute is a sequence of 7-item sequences.
|
||||
Read-only attribute describing the result of a query. It is a
|
||||
sequence of `~psycopg2.extensions.Column` instances, each one
|
||||
describing one result column in order. The attribute is `!None` for
|
||||
operations that do not return rows or if the cursor has not had an
|
||||
operation invoked via the |execute*|_ methods yet.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these sequences is a named tuple (a regular tuple if
|
||||
:func:`collections.namedtuple` is not available) containing information
|
||||
describing one result column:
|
||||
For compatibility with the DB-API, every object can be unpacked as a
|
||||
7-items sequence: the attributes retuned this way are the following.
|
||||
For further details and other attributes available check the
|
||||
`~psycopg2.extensions.Column` documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
0. `!name`: the name of the column returned.
|
||||
1. `!type_code`: the PostgreSQL OID of the column. You can use the
|
||||
|pg_type|_ system table to get more informations about the type.
|
||||
This is the value used by Psycopg to decide what Python type use
|
||||
to represent the value. See also
|
||||
:ref:`type-casting-from-sql-to-python`.
|
||||
2. `!display_size`: the actual length of the column in bytes.
|
||||
Obtaining this value is computationally intensive, so it is
|
||||
always `!None` unless the :envvar:`PSYCOPG_DISPLAY_SIZE` parameter
|
||||
is set at compile time. See also PQgetlength_.
|
||||
3. `!internal_size`: the size in bytes of the column associated to
|
||||
this column on the server. Set to a negative value for
|
||||
variable-size types See also PQfsize_.
|
||||
4. `!precision`: total number of significant digits in columns of
|
||||
type |NUMERIC|_. `!None` for other types.
|
||||
5. `!scale`: count of decimal digits in the fractional part in
|
||||
columns of type |NUMERIC|. `!None` for other types.
|
||||
6. `!null_ok`: always `!None` as not easy to retrieve from the libpq.
|
||||
0. `~psycopg2.extensions.Column.name`: the name of the column returned.
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute will be `!None` for operations that do not return rows
|
||||
or if the cursor has not had an operation invoked via the
|
||||
|execute*|_ methods yet.
|

1. `~psycopg2.extensions.Column.type_code`: the PostgreSQL OID of the

column.
