Low level Postgres protocol APIs.

This crate implements the low level components of Postgres’s communication protocol, including message and value serialization and deserialization. It is designed to be used as a building block by higher level APIs such as rust-postgres, and should not typically be used directly.

Note

This library assumes that the client_encoding backend parameter has been set to UTF8. It will most likely not behave properly if that is not the case.

Modules

  • Authentication protocol support.
  • Provides functions for escaping literals and identifiers for use in SQL queries.
  • Postgres message protocol support.
  • Functions to encrypt a password in the client.
  • Conversions to and from Postgres’s binary format for various types.

Enums

  • An enum indicating if a value is NULL or not.

Type Aliases

  • A Postgres Log Sequence Number (LSN).
  • A Postgres OID.
