# psql

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@v1.0.0
```

Direct:

```bash
pip install "psql @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/psql.git@v1.0.0"
```

Pulls `asyncpg`.

Drop the `@v1.0.0` 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"})
```

`host`/`port` default to `None`, not `"localhost"`/`5432` — asyncpg only reads a `dsn`'s
embedded host/port when the `host`/`port` kwargs are falsy, so passing `dsn=...` in
`pool_kwargs` (with no `host`/`port` of your own) lets the dsn's server reach asyncpg
instead of being silently overridden. The no-dsn path above still defaults to
`localhost:5432` when you don't pass `host`.

### 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.
