psycopg 2 extensions to the DBAPI 2.0
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
This document is a short summary of the extensions built in psycopg 2.0.x over
|
|
the standard `Python Database API Specification 2.0`__, usually called simply
|
|
DBAPI-2.0 or even PEP-249. Before reading on this document please make sure
|
|
you already know how to program in Python using a DBAPI-2.0 compliant driver:
|
|
basic concepts like opening a connection, executing queries and commiting or
|
|
rolling back a transaction will not be explained but just used.

Connection and cursor factories
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
psycopg 2 exposes two new-style classes that can be sub-classed and expanded to
|
|
adapt them to the needs of the programmer: `cursor` and `connection`. The
|
|
`connection` class is usually sub-classed only to provide a . `cursor` is much
|
|
more interesting, because it is the class where query building, execution and
|
|
result type-casting into Python variables happens.

PostgreSQL status message and executed query
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
`cursor` objects have two special fields related to the last executed query:
|
|
|
|
- `.query` is the textual representation (str or unicode, depending on what
|
|
was passed to `.execute()` as first argument) of the query *after* argument
|
|
binding and mogrification has been applied. To put it another way, `.query`
|
|
is the *exact* query that was sent to the PostgreSQL backend.
|
|
|
|
- `.statusmessage` is the status message that the backend sent upon query
|
|
execution. It usually contains the basic type of the query (SELECT,
|
|
INSERT, UPDATE, ...) and some additional information like the number of
|
|
rows updated and so on. Refer to the PostgreSQL manual for more
|
|
information.
