`psycopg2.extras` -- Miscellaneous goodies for Psycopg 2
=============================================================
.. sectionauthor:: Daniele Varrazzo <daniele.varrazzo@gmail.com>
.. module:: psycopg2.extras
.. testsetup::
import psycopg2.extras
from psycopg2.extras import Inet

This module is a generic place used to hold little helper functions and
classes until a better place in the distribution is found.

Dictionary-like cursor
----------------------
The dict cursors allow to access to the retrieved records using an iterface
similar to the Python dictionaries instead of the tuples. You can use it
either passing `DictConnection` as `connection_factory` argument
to the `~psycopg2.connect()` function or passing `DictCursor` as
the `!cursor_factory` argument to the `~connection.cursor()` method
of a regular `connection`.
>>> dict_cur = conn.cursor(cursor_factory=psycopg2.extras.DictCursor)
>>> dict_cur.execute("INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES(%s, %s)",
... (100, "abc'def"))
>>> dict_cur.execute("SELECT * FROM test")
>>> rec = dict_cur.fetchone()
>>> rec['id']
1
>>> rec['num']
100
>>> rec['data']
"abc'def"
The records still support indexing as the original tuple:
>>> rec[2]
"abc'def"

Hstore data type
----------------
.. versionadded:: 2.2.3
The |hstore|_ data type is a key-value store embedded in PostgreSQL. It has
been available for several server versions but with the release 9.0 it has
been greatly improved in capacity and usefulness with the addiction of many
functions. It supports GiST or GIN indexes allowing search by keys or
key/value pairs as well as regular BTree indexes for equality, uniqueness etc.
Psycopg can convert Python `dict` objects to and from |hstore| structures.
Only dictionaries with string/unicode keys and values are supported. `None`
is also allowed as value. Psycopg uses a more efficient |hstore|
representation when dealing with PostgreSQL 9.0 but previous server versions
are supportes as well. By default the adapter/typecaster are disabled: they
can be enabled using the `register_hstore()` function.

UUID data type
