=head1 NAME

Rose::DB::Pg - PostgreSQL driver class for Rose::DB.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Rose::DB;

  Rose::DB->register_db(
    domain   => 'development',
    type     => 'main',
    driver   => 'Pg',
    database => 'dev_db',
    host     => 'localhost',
    username => 'devuser',
    password => 'mysecret',
    server_time_zone => 'UTC',
    european_dates   => 1,
  );

  Rose::DB->default_domain('development');
  Rose::DB->default_type('main');
  ...

  $db = Rose::DB->new; # $db is really a Rose::DB::Pg-derived object
  ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Rose::DB> blesses objects into a class derived from L<Rose::DB::Pg> when the L<driver|Rose::DB/driver> is "pg".  This mapping of driver names to class names is configurable.  See the documentation for L<Rose::DB>'s L<new()|Rose::DB/new> and L<driver_class()|Rose::DB/driver_class> methods for more information.

This class cannot be used directly.  You must use L<Rose::DB> and let its L<new()|Rose::DB/new> method return an object blessed into the appropriate class for you, according to its L<driver_class()|Rose::DB/driver_class> mappings.

Only the methods that are new or have different behaviors than those in L<Rose::DB> are documented here.  See the L<Rose::DB> documentation for the full list of methods.

=head1 OBJECT METHODS

=over 4

=item B<european_dates [BOOL]>

Get or set the boolean value that determines whether or not dates are assumed to be in european dd/mm/yyyy format.  The default is to assume US mm/dd/yyyy format (because this is the default for PostgreSQL).

This value will be passed to L<DateTime::Format::Pg> as the value of the C<european> parameter in the call to the constructor C<new()>.  This L<DateTime::Format::Pg> object is used by L<Rose::DB::Pg> to parse and format date-related column values in methods like L<parse_date|Rose::DB/parse_date>, L<format_date|Rose::DB/format_date>, etc.

=item B<next_value_in_sequence SEQUENCE>

Advance the sequence named SEQUENCE and return the new value.  Returns undef if there was an error.

=item B<server_time_zone [TZ]>

Get or set the time zone used by the database server software.  TZ should be a time zone name that is understood by L<DateTime::TimeZone>.  The default value is "floating".

This value will be passed to L<DateTime::Format::Pg> as the value of the C<server_tz> parameter in the call to the constructor C<new()>.  This L<DateTime::Format::Pg> object is used by L<Rose::DB::Pg> to parse and format date-related column values in methods like L<parse_date|Rose::DB/parse_date>, L<format_date|Rose::DB/format_date>, etc.

See the L<DateTime::TimeZone> documentation for acceptable values of TZ.

=item B<pg_enable_utf8 [BOOL]>

Get or set the L<pg_enable_utf8|DBD::Pg/pg_enable_utf8> database handle attribute.  This is set directly on the L<dbh|Rose::DB/dbh>, if one exists.  Otherwise, it will be set when the L<dbh|Rose::DB/dbh> is created.  If no value for this attribute is defined (the default) then it will not be set when the L<dbh|Rose::DB/dbh> is created, deferring instead to whatever default value L<DBD::Pg> chooses.

Returns the value of this attribute in the L<dbh|Rose::DB/dbh>, if one exists, or the value that will be set when the L<dbh|Rose::DB/dbh> is next created.

See the L<DBD::Pg|DBD::Pg/pg_enable_utf8> documentation to learn more about this attribute.

=item B<sslmode [MODE]>

Get or set the SSL mode of the connection.  Valid values for MODE are C<disable>, C<allow>, C<prefer>, and C<require>.  This attribute is used to build the L<DBI> L<dsn|Rose::DB/dsn>.  Setting it has no effect until the next L<connect|Rose::DB/connect>ion.  See the L<DBD::Pg|DBD::Pg/connect> documentation to learn more about this attribute.

=head2 Value Parsing and Formatting

=over 4

=item B<format_array ARRAYREF | LIST>

Given a reference to an array or a list of values, return a string formatted according to the rules of PostgreSQL's "ARRAY" column type.  Undef is returned if ARRAYREF points to an empty array or if LIST is not passed.

=item B<format_interval DURATION>

Given a L<DateTime::Duration> object, return a string formatted according to the rules of PostgreSQL's "INTERVAL" column type.  If DURATION is undefined, a L<DateTime::Duration> object, a valid interval keyword (according to L<validate_interval_keyword|Rose::DB/validate_interval_keyword>), or if it looks like a function call (matches C</^\w+\(.*\)$/>) and L<keyword_function_calls|Rose::DB/keyword_function_calls> is true, then it is returned unmodified.

=item B<parse_array STRING>

Parse STRING and return a reference to an array.  STRING should be formatted according to PostgreSQL's "ARRAY" data type.  Undef is returned if STRING is undefined.

=item B<parse_interval STRING>

Parse STRING and return a L<DateTime::Duration> object.  STRING should be formatted according to the PostgreSQL native "interval" (years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds) data type.

If STRING is a L<DateTime::Duration> object, a valid interval keyword (according to L<validate_interval_keyword|Rose::DB/validate_interval_keyword>), or if it looks like a function call (matches C</^\w+\(.*\)$/>) and L<keyword_function_calls|Rose::DB/keyword_function_calls> is true, then it is returned unmodified.  Otherwise, undef is returned if STRING could not be parsed as a valid "interval" value.

=item B<validate_date_keyword STRING>

Returns true if STRING is a valid keyword for the PostgreSQL "date" data type.  Valid (case-insensitive) date keywords are:

    current_date
    epoch
    now
    now()
    today
    tomorrow
    yesterday

The keywords are case sensitive.  Any string that looks like a function call (matches C</^\w+\(.*\)$/>) is also considered a valid date keyword if L<keyword_function_calls|Rose::DB/keyword_function_calls> is true.

=item B<validate_datetime_keyword STRING>

Returns true if STRING is a valid keyword for the PostgreSQL "datetime" data type, false otherwise.  Valid (case-insensitive) datetime keywords are:

    -infinity
    allballs
    current_date
    current_time
    current_time()
    current_timestamp
    current_timestamp()
    epoch
    infinity
    localtime
    localtime()
    localtimestamp
    localtimestamp()
    now
    now()
    timeofday()
    today
    tomorrow
    yesterday

The keywords are case sensitive.  Any string that looks like a function call (matches C</^\w+\(.*\)$/>) is also considered a valid datetime keyword if L<keyword_function_calls|Rose::DB/keyword_function_calls> is true.

=item B<validate_time_keyword STRING>

Returns true if STRING is a valid keyword for the PostgreSQL "time" data type, false otherwise.  Valid (case-insensitive) timestamp keywords are:

    allballs
    current_time
    current_time()
    localtime
    localtime()
    now
    now()
    timeofday()

The keywords are case sensitive.  Any string that looks like a function call (matches C</^\w+\(.*\)$/>) is also considered a valid timestamp keyword if L<keyword_function_calls|Rose::DB/keyword_function_calls> is true.

=item B<validate_timestamp_keyword STRING>

Returns true if STRING is a valid keyword for the PostgreSQL "timestamp" data type, false otherwise.  Valid (case-insensitive) timestamp keywords are:

    -infinity
    allballs
    current_date
    current_time
    current_time()
    current_timestamp
    current_timestamp()
    epoch
    infinity
    localtime
    localtime()
    localtimestamp
    localtimestamp()
    now
    now()
    timeofday()
    today
    tomorrow
    yesterday

The keywords are case sensitive.  Any string that looks like a function call (matches C</^\w+\(.*\)$/>) is also considered a valid timestamp keyword if L<keyword_function_calls|Rose::DB/keyword_function_calls> is true.
