(** {6 Connection management} *)

val connect : ?host:string -> ?port:int -> ?user:string -> ?password:string -> ?database:string -> ?unix_domain_socket_dir:string -> unit -> 'a t monad
(** Connect to the database.  The normal [$PGDATABASE], etc. environment
  * variables are available.
  *)

val close : 'a t -> unit monad
(** Close the database handle.  You must call this after you have
  * finished with the handle, or else you will get leaked file
  * descriptors.
  *)

val ping : 'a t -> unit monad
(** Ping the database.  If the database is not available, some sort of
  * exception will be thrown.
  *)

(** {6 Transactions} *)

val begin_work : ?isolation:isolation -> ?access:access -> ?deferrable:bool -> 'a t -> unit monad
(** Start a transaction. *)

val commit : 'a t -> unit monad
(** Perform a COMMIT operation on the database. *)

val rollback : 'a t -> unit monad
(** Perform a ROLLBACK operation on the database. *)

(** {6 Serial column} *)

val serial : 'a t -> string -> int64 monad
(** This is a shorthand for [SELECT CURRVAL(serial)].  For a table
  * called [table] with serial column [id] you would typically
  * call this as [serial dbh "table_id_seq"] after the previous INSERT
  * operation to get the serial number of the inserted row.
  *)

val serial4 : 'a t -> string -> int32 monad
(** As {!serial} but assumes that the column is a SERIAL or
  * SERIAL4 type.
  *)

val serial8 : 'a t -> string -> int64 monad
(** Same as {!serial}.
  *)

(** {6 Miscellaneous} *)

val max_message_length : int ref
(** Maximum message length accepted from the back-end.  The default
  * is [Sys.max_string_length], which means that we will try to read as
  * much data from the back-end as we can, and this may cause us to
  * run out of memory (particularly on 64 bit machines), causing a
  * possible denial of service.  You may want to set this to a smaller
  * size to avoid this happening.
  *)

val verbose : int ref
(** Verbosity.  0 means don't print anything.  1 means print short
  * error messages as returned from the back-end.  2 means print all
  * messages as returned from the back-end.  Messages are printed on [stderr].
  * Default verbosity level is 1.
  *)

val set_private_data : 'a t -> 'a -> unit
(** Attach some private data to the database handle.
  *
  * NB. The pa_pgsql camlp4 extension uses this for its own purposes, which
  * means that in most programs you will not be able to attach private data
  * to the database handle.
  *)

val private_data : 'a t -> 'a
(** Retrieve some private data previously attached to the database handle.
  * If no data has been attached, raises [Not_found].
  *
  * NB. The pa_pgsql camlp4 extension uses this for its own purposes, which
  * means that in most programs you will not be able to attach private data
  * to the database handle.

val prepare : 'a t -> query:string -> ?name:string -> ?types:oid list -> unit -> unit monad
(** [prepare conn ~query ?name ?types ()] prepares the statement [query]
  * and optionally names it [name] and sets the parameter types to [types].
  * If no name is given, then the "unnamed" statement is overwritten.  If
  * no types are given, then the PostgreSQL engine infers types.
  * Synchronously checks for errors.

val execute_rev : 'a t -> ?name:string -> ?portal:string -> params:param list -> unit -> row list monad
val execute : 'a t -> ?name:string -> ?portal:string -> params:param list -> unit -> row list monad
(** [execute conn ?name ~params ()] executes the named or unnamed
  * statement [name], with the given parameters [params],
  * returning the result rows (if any).
  *
  * There are several steps involved at the protocol layer:
  * (1) a "portal" is created from the statement, binding the
  * parameters in the statement (Bind).
  * (2) the portal is executed (Execute).
  * (3) we synchronise the connection (Sync).
  *
  * The optional [?portal] parameter may be used to name the portal
  * created in step (1) above (otherwise the unnamed portal is used).
  * This is only important if you want to call {!describe_portal}
  * to find out the result types.
  *)

(** {6 Low level type conversion functions - DO NOT USE DIRECTLY} *)

val name_of_type : ?modifier:int32 -> oid -> string
(** Returns the OCaml equivalent type name to the PostgreSQL type [oid].
  * For instance, [name_of_type (Int32.of_int 23)] returns ["int32"] because
  * the OID for PostgreSQL's internal [int4] type is [23].  As another
  * example, [name_of_type (Int32.of_int 25)] returns ["string"].
