* tests/test_dates.py: add tests for date/time typecasting and
adaption.
* psycopg/adapter_mxdatetime.c (mxdatetime_str): add support for
outputting BC dates (which involves switching them to one-based
dates). Also remove broken handling of microseconds.
* psycopg/typecast.c (typecast_parse_date): if the string ends
with "BC" adjust the year value to be a zero-based BC value as
used by mx.DateTime (datetime doesn't support BC dates).
(typecast_parse_time): ignore ' ', 'B' and 'C' in time strings
rather than treating them as part of the seconds part of the time.
(TransactionTestCase.test_failed_commit): Expect IntegrityError
instead of OperationalError.
* psycopg/pqpath.c (exception_from_sqlstate): new function that
converts an SQLSTATE error code to the corresponding exception
class.
(pq_raise): use exception_from_sqlstate() to pick which exception
to use when working with protocol version 3.
(pq_complete_error): Let pq_raise() pick an appropriate exception
rather than forcing OperationalError.
patch from ticket #209 to check return value from
PyObject_AsCharBuffer(). This fixes the segfault.
(binary_quote): switch from PyObject_AsCharBuffer() to
PyObject_AsReadBuffer() to support buffer objects that don't
implement the bf_getcharbuf protocol.
* tests/types_basic.py (TypesBasicTests.testBinary): Test round
tripping of bytea buffers. Currently segfaults.
requiring it.
Added a connection flag to store whether E''-style quoting is required: this
avoids repeated PQparameterStatus() calls.
Added a test case to verify correct behavior on strings, unicode and binary
data. Tested with PG versions from 7.4 to 8.3b2, with any server
'standard_conforming_strings' setting and with 'PSYCOPG_OWN_QUOTING' too.
