+
+Async PostgreSQL wrapper over [asyncpg](https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/) — a small,
+config-free, **fail-loud**, two-layer API: friendly portable verbs for the common case, a
+raw escape hatch for the rest. Second of the datastore trio (`redis` / `psql` / `mysql`),
+a sibling of the `mongo` lib. Class is **`PsqlDB`**.
+
+## Install
+
+`requirements.txt`:
+
+```
+psql @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/psql.git@v0.1.0
+```
+
+Direct:
+
+```bash
+pip install "psql @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/psql.git@v0.1.0"
+```
+
+Pulls `asyncpg`.
+
+Drop the `@v0.1.0` suffix from the line above to install the latest unpinned.
+
+## The two-layer API
+
+**Layer 1 — friendly verbs** for simple single-table CRUD. These hide the dialect and are
+**identical to the `mysql` lib**, so you swap psql↔mysql with zero call-site changes.
+
+**Layer 2 — raw escape hatch** for the complex ~20% (joins, aggregates, CTEs, window
+functions). You write the SQL with `$1, $2` placeholders; the wrapper still gives pooling,
+parameterization, fail-loud errors, and row→dict conversion. Raw SQL is psql-specific.
+
+There is deliberately **nothing in between** — no query builder, no ORM. A join goes
+through raw `fetch()`, never a chainable `.where()/.join()`. (That's SQLAlchemy's job.)
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from psql import PsqlDB
+
+# construction is sync; connect() builds the pool + SELECT 1 to fail loud on bad config
+db = await PsqlDB(host="localhost", port=5432, database="app",
+                  user="postgres", password="secret").connect()
+
+# --- layer 1: friendly, portable ---
+await db.create_table("users", {"id": "serial primary key", "name": "text not null", "age": "int"})
+await db.insert("users", {"name": "ada", "age": 30})       # -> 1 (rowcount)
+rows = await db.get("users", {"age": 30})                   # [{"id": 1, "name": "ada", ...}]
+one  = await db.get_one("users", {"name": "ada"})           # {...} or None
+ok   = await db.exists("users", {"name": "ada"})            # True
+await db.delete("users", {"name": "ada"})                   # -> rowcount
+await db.upsert("users", {"id": 1, "name": "ada2"}, conflict=["id"])  # ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
+
+await db.close()
+```
+
+Context-manager form:
+
+```python
+async with PsqlDB(database="app", user="postgres") as db:
+    await db.insert("events", {"kind": "login"})
+```
+
+### Layer 2 — raw SQL for the complex queries
+
+```python
+# a join — not modelled by layer 1, so write it directly. $1 placeholders, plain-dict rows.
+rows = await db.fetch(
+    "SELECT u.name, count(o.id) AS orders "
+    "FROM users u JOIN orders o ON o.user_id = u.id "
+    "WHERE u.active = $1 GROUP BY u.name",
+    True,
+)
+row  = await db.fetchone("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", 7)   # dict or None
+n    = await db.fetchval("SELECT count(*) FROM users")             # scalar or None
+await db.execute("UPDATE users SET active = $1 WHERE last_seen < $2", False, cutoff)
+
+# atomic multi-statement block — commits on clean exit, rolls back + re-raises on error
+async with db.transaction() as conn:
+    await conn.execute("INSERT INTO ledger(acct, delta) VALUES($1, $2)", a, -amount)
+    await conn.execute("INSERT INTO ledger(acct, delta) VALUES($1, $2)", b, +amount)
+```
+
+For anything even Layer 2 doesn't model (`COPY`, `LISTEN/NOTIFY`, prepared statements,
+cursors), use the raw `db.pool` — the underlying `asyncpg.Pool`.
+
+## Rows & placeholders
+
+- **Rows are plain dicts** (`{column: value}`), not asyncpg `Record` objects — identical
+  shape to the `mysql` lib.
+- **Values are always parameterized.** Layer 1 builds `$1, $2` internally; Layer 2 takes
+  your `$1` placeholders + params. Never f-string a value into SQL. Only identifiers
+  (table/column names) are interpolated, and they're quoted.
+
+## Error contract — fail loud
+
+Unlike the `mongo` lib (which log-and-swallows), **this lib re-raises.** Every method
+catches the driver error (`asyncpg.PostgresError` / `InterfaceError`, `OSError` on
+connection loss), logs it via `logging.getLogger(__name__)`, and raises. A `None` / `[]`
+return is only ever a real result (no row, empty table) — never a swallowed failure.
+
+## Surface
+
+- **Layer 1:** `create_database`, `create_table(name, {col: "type"})`, `drop(name, table=)`,
+  `insert(table, {col: val})`, `get(table, {conds})`, `get_one(table, {conds})`,
+  `delete(table, {conds})`, `exists(table, {conds})`, `upsert(table, {col: val}, conflict=[...])`
+- **Layer 2:** `execute(sql, *params)`, `fetch`, `fetchone`, `fetchval`, `transaction()`
+- **Raw:** `pool` property → `asyncpg.Pool`
+
+`get`/`delete`/`exists`/`get_one` take **equality** conditions only (`col = val AND ...`);
+anything richer goes through Layer 2.
+
+## Versioning
+
+Releases are tagged `vX.Y.Z`. The install line above pins a release; drop the `@vX.Y.Z`
+suffix to install the latest unpinned. Pin deliberately for reproducible installs.
