shadow-pgsql

WARNING: Stay away from this. Stick with JDBC, this was not worth the effort!

[thheller/shadow-pgsql "0.13.0"]

I need to write some docs ...

A PostgreSQL Client for the JVM.

The standard interface in Java to talk to Postgres is the official JDBC-Driver. JDBC tries to create a common Interface for Databases but not all SQL Databases are created equal. That makes using Postgres-specific features rather cumbersome to use.

This library tries to provide a far simpler yet more powerful interface to the PostgreSQL Server.

Requirements

JDK 8+, PostgreSQL 9+ (only tested against 9.1.2, 9.3.5, might work with older versions)

Features

• Fully customizable Types via simple Interface
• Binary Format when supported by Type

Status

• Basic Types have been implemented.
• Query & Statement support
• Transactions with Savepoints

TODO:

• more Types
• UTF-8 is hardcoded right now, things will go wrong if backend is not UTF-8
• Tests
• better Errors (Messages)
• Docs
• Auth Support (MD5, ...)
• Generics (didn't write any serious Java for over 10 years, need to learn Generics first)
• Cursor Support
• FunctionCall API
• Copy API

Usage

Needs more docs, for now check what can hardly be called Tests.

• Java
• Clojure
