[dbconn] is the type of connections to a PostgreSQL database.
[dbresult] is the type of result sets from SQL queries.
[oid] is the type of PostgreSQL internal object identifiers.
[openbase { dbhost, dbport, dboptions, dbtty, dbname, dbuser, dbpwd }]
opens a connection to a PostgreSQL database server on the given
host (default the local one) on the given port (default 5432), with
the given options (default the empty string), with error logging on
the given tty (default?), to the given database (defaults to the
user's login name), for the given user name (defaults to the
current user's login name), and the given password (default none).
The result is a connection which may be used in subsequent queries.
[closebase dbconn] closes the database connection. No further
queries can be executed.
[db dbconn] returns the name of the database.
[host dbconn] returns SOME h, where h is the database server host
name, if the connection uses the Internet; returns NONE if the
connection is to a socket on the local server.
[options dbconn] returns the options given when opening the database.
[port dbconn] returns the port number of the connection.
[tty dbconn] returns the name of the tty used for logging.
[status dbconn] returns true if the connection is usable, false
otherwise.
[reset dbconn] attempts to close and then reopen the connection to
the database server.
[errormessage dbconn] returns NONE if no error occurred, and SOME msg
if an error occurred, where msg describes the error.
[execute dbconn query] sends an SQL query to the database server
for execution, and returns a resultset dbres.
[resultstatus dbres] returns the status of the result set dbres.
After a select query that succeeded, it will be Tuples_ok.
[ntuples dbres] returns the number of tuples in the result set
after a query.
[cmdtuples dbres] returns the number of tuples affected by an
insert, update, or delete SQL command.
[nfields dbres] returns the number of fields in each tuple after a
query.
[fname dbres fno] returns the name of field number fno (in the
result set after a query). The fields are numbered 0, 1,...
[fnames dbres] returns a vector of the field names (in the result
set after a query).
[fnumber dbres fname] returns SOME i where i is the number (0, 1,
...) of the field called fname (in the result set after a query),
if the result set contains such a field name; returns NONE otherwise.
[ftype dbres fno] returns the dyntype of field number fno (in the
result set after a query).
[ftypes dbres] returns a vector of the dyntypes (in the result set
after a query).
[fromtag dt] returns the name of the preferred PostgreSQL type used
to represent values of the dyntype dt. This may be used when
building `create table' statements.
[getint dbres fno tupno] returns the integer value of field number
fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres. Raises Null if the value
is NULL.
[getreal dbres fno tupno] returns the floating-point value of field
number fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres. Raises Null if the
value is NULL.
[getstring dbres fno tupno] returns the string value of field
number fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres. Raises Null if the
value is NULL.
[getdate dbres fno tupno] returns the date (yyyy, mth, day) value
of field number fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres. Raises
Null if the value is NULL. Raises Fail if the field cannot be
scanned as a date.
[gettime dbres fno tupno] returns the time-of-day (hh, mm, ss)
value of field number fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres.
Raises Null if the value is NULL. Raises Fail if the field cannot
be scanned as a time.
[getdatetime dbres fno tupno] returns the Date.date value of field
number fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres. Raises Null if the
value is NULL. Raises Fail if the field cannot be scanned as a
date.
[getbool dbres fno tupno] returns the boolean value of field number
fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres. Raises Null if the value
is NULL.
[isnull dbres fno tupno] returns true if the value of field number
fno in tuple tupno of result set dbres is NULL; false otherwise.
[getdynfield dbres fno tupno] returns the value of field number fno
in tuple tupno of result set dbres as a dynval (a wrapped value).
A NULL value is returned as NullVal. Note that the partial
application (getdynfield dbres fno) precomputes the type of the
field fno. Hence it is far more efficient to compute
let val getfno = getdynfield dbres fno
in tabulate(ntuples dbres, getfno) end
than to compute
let fun getfno tupno = getdynfield dbres fno tupno
in tabulate(ntuples dbres, getfno) end
because the latter repeatedly computes the type of the field.
[getdyntup dbres tupno] returns the fields of tuple tupno in result
set dbres as a vector of dynvals.
[getdyntups dbres] returns all tuples of result set dbres as a
vector of vectors of dynvals.
[dynval2s dv] returns a string representing the dynval dv.
[applyto x f] computes f(x). This is convenient for applying
several functions (given in a list or vector) to the same value:
map (applyto 5) (tabulate(3, getdynfield dbres))
equals
[getdynfield dbres 0 5, getdynfield dbres 1 5, getdynfield dbres 2 5]
[copytableto(dbconn, tablename, put)] executes a "COPY TABLE TO"
statement, applies the function put to every tuple of the table,
represented as a line of text (not terminated by newline \n), and
cleans up at the end. For instance, to copy the contents of a
table t to a text stream s (one tuple on each line), define
fun put line =
(TextIO.output(s, line); TextIO.output(s, "\n"))
and execute
copytableto(dbconn, "t", put).
[copytablefrom(dbconn, tablename, useput)] executes a "COPY TABLE
FROM" statement, creates a put function for copying lines to the
table, passes the put function to useput, and cleans up at the end.
The put function may be called multiple times for each line
(tuple); the end of each line is indicated with the newline
character "\n" as usual. For instance, to copy the contents of a
text stream s to a table t, define
fun useput put =
while not (TextIO.endOfStream s) do put(TextIO.inputLine s);
and execute
copytablefrom(dbconn, "t", useput).
Note that TextIO.inputLine preserves the newline at the end of each
line.
[formattable dbresult] returns a wseq representing an HTML table.
The HTML table has a column for every field in the dbresult. The
first row is a table header giving the names of the fields in the
dbresult. The remaining rows correspond to the tuples in the
dbresult, in the order they are provided by the database server.
Null fields are shown as NULL.
[showquery dbconn query] sends the SQL query to the database
server, then uses formattable to format the result of the query.
