Unreleased

  • Added ToField instances for case-insensitive strict and lazy text. Thanks to Max Tagher for the implementation.

Version 0.5.3.0 (2017-05-15)

  • Refactored some rudimentary cursor handling code out of the implementation of the fold operators, into a new Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Cursor module, thanks to Bardur Arantsson.

  • Made the FromField instance for Char compatible with postgresql's bpchar type. Thanks to Ivan Lazar Miljenovic for reporting the issue.

  • Added Show and Eq instances for Notification, thanks to Matvey Aksenov.

  • Fixed some example code, thanks to Matvey Aksenov.

  • Fixed a problem with using conversionError to throw exceptions of type SomeException. Previously, the exception would be wrapped in a second SomeException dynamic constructor which would cause normal GHC typecase idioms over SomeException to fail.

Version 0.5.2.1 (2016-06-29)

  • Bumped the lower bound for base to 4.6. Thanks to Herbert Valerio Riedel for reporting the issue.

  • Added an Eq instance for SqlError, thanks to Chris Allen

  • Fixed a bug where a all-caps "NULL" text value inside a postgresql array would get parsed as the SQL null value. Thanks goes to Edgar Gomes and Silk for finding and fixing this mistake.

  • Modified withTransaction and friends to ignore IOErrors when attempting to roll back the transaction. This fixes a buggy interaction between withTransaction and async exceptions (e.g. System.Timeout) on unix platforms. Thanks goes to Erik Hesselink and Silk for providing the test case that exposed this issue.

  • Added the testTimeout regression test for the problem above.

Version 0.5.2.0 (2016-05-25)

  • Significantly improved the error reporting from Copy.putCopyData, thanks to Ben Gamari.

  • Moved the test suite to use tasty, with a big thanks to Ben Gamari.

  • Added FromField.optionalField, and updated the documentation of FromField.fromJSONField, as inspired by an email conversation with Ian Wagner.

  • Updated all links in the haddocks to use https, and added a link to the documentation of connectPostgreSQL.

  • Added a truncated changelog to the source distribution.

Version 0.5.1.3 (2016-04-30)

  • Implemented the Monad of No Return proposal, future-proofing postgresql-simple against future releases of GHC.

  • Fixed a rare and usually benign race condition where getNotification could end up waiting on a newly reallocated file descriptor index, potentially leading to deadlock if the descriptor does not become readable promptly. This fix only applies to GHC 7.8 or later, as it depends on threadWaitReadSTM.

  • Tweaked the time parsers to accept times of day of the form hh:mm, omitting seconds, following changes made to aeson.

  • Updated the documentation of the In type to point out a gotcha when using the SQL fragment ... NOT IN ? with In []. Thanks goes to Simon Michael and Dan Haraj for bringing this issue to my attention.

Version 0.5.1.2 (2015-12-14)

  • The syntax generated for empty arrays was changed so that postgresql's type inference would work better, thanks to Amit Levy.

  • Further revision and expansion of the new Time documentation.

Version 0.5.1.1 (2015-12-02)

  • This is a documentation-only release

  • The documentation of the Time module has been completely rewritten, and is far longer and more informative. It contains a brief overview of civil time, the semantics of postgresql's time types, and their relation to Haskell's time types via postgresql-simple.

  • The documentation of connectPostgreSQL has been modified to mention the effects of environment variables on the connection string parameters.

  • The documentation of HStore.Internal has been unhidden from haddock.

  • A typo in example code was fixed courtesy of Levi Notik.

Version 0.5.1.0 (2015-10-22)

  • Optimized the implementation of the streaming operators to avoid creating intermediate lists of rows, thanks to Timo von Holtz.

  • Added default instances for ToRow and FromRow that depend on Generics, thanks to Alexey Khudyakov.

  • Fixed support for bytestring-0.9 and GHC 7.4.

Version 0.5.0.1 (2015-09-21)

  • Fixed a bug when printing a ZonedTime with a negative offset that is not a whole number of hours.

Version 0.5.0.0 (2015-09-19)

  • Removed the deprecated BuiltinTypes module.

  • Modified the SQL quasiquoter so that it returns a Query, not an overloaded string, and so that the OverloadedStrings language extension is no longer necessary, thanks to Mike Ledger.

  • Moved away from blaze-builder in favor of bytestring-builder. This shouldn't affect very many people, but does reduce the transitive dependencies.

  • Rewrote the timestamp printers to use the new Prim infrastructure in bytestring-builder. The new printers should be a fair bit faster.

  • Added support for exclusion violations to the ConstraintViolation type in the Errors module, thanks to João Cristóvão.

  • Moved away from the uuid package in favor of the uuid-types package, thanks to Bardur Arantsson. This shouldn't affect anybody, but does reduce the transitive dependencies.

  • Postgresql-simple now explicitly assumes the UTF8 character encoding for communication between the client and server. All database encodings support UTF8 except for Mule Internal Code, the Multilingual Extensions for Emacs. An exception should be raised upon connecting to a database by the backend if the backend cannot accomodate this requirement.

  • Added Eq and Typeable instances for Connection.

  • Added the foldWith, forEachWith, and returningWith families of functions courtesy of Travis Staton.

  • Support for Ranged types, with thanks to Leonid Onokhov for his contributions.

  • The FromField instance for JSON now allows for top-level values that are not objects or arrays, thanks to Sam Rijs.

  • The timestamp parsers have been replaced with those now in Aeson. Janne Hellsten adapted the old parsers from postgresql-simple for inclusion in Aeson; Bryan O'Sullivan rewrote those parsers to be faster, with some tweaks contributed by myself. And now to bring the effort full circle, the result has been brought back to postgresql-simple, with some adaptations.

  • Fixed a bug in the typeinfo system where postgresql's _record type was being reported as a basic type and not an array type. Thanks to Nickolay Kolev for helping to expose this issue.

  • Fixed a bug with the typeInfo operator, thanks to Timmy Tofu. In the case of parsing subfields of arrays and composites, it would fetch the TypeInfo of the array or composite type and not the subtype.

Version 0.4.10.0 (2015-02-26)

  • Added a blurb about SSL/TLS in the documentation for connectPostgreSQL

  • Moved some functions into the Internal module, courtesy of Aleksey Uimanov.

Version 0.4.9.0 (2014-12-27)

  • Made the fromField method for PGArray available as pgArrayFieldParser, outside of the typeclass courtesy of Tom Ellis.

  • Fixed a missing OverloadedStrings pragma in the documentation of SqlQQ.

  • Fixed deprecation warnings, courtesy of Simon Hengel.

Version 0.4.8.0 (2014-11-24)

  • Added support for postgresql's citext type extension via the case-insensitive package.

  • Added the function parseHStoreList to the HStore module.

Version 0.4.7.0 (2014-10-27)

  • Added support for very old timestamps to UTCTime. Depending on time zone, very old timestamps can be returned with a offset from UTC that contains seconds.

    All timezones in the TZ database moved to a time standard offset an integer number of minutes from UTC before 1973, almost all locations moved before 1938, and a solid majority moved before 1921.

    ZonedTime assumes offsets are a whole number of minutes, and thus the conversion to ZonedTime does not support these timestamps and will still throw a conversion error.

    Note that PostgreSQL's "timestamp with time zone" (or "timestamptz") type is nearly universally misunderstood. For an explanation, see:

    https://github.com/lpsmith/postgresql-simple/issues/69

    Thanks to Michael Snoyman for his assistance with this issue.

Version 0.4.6.0 (2014-10-07)

  • Added an instance ToField NominalDiffTime.

Version 0.4.5.0 (2014-09-26)

  • Added support for retrieving NaN and ±Infinity floating point values from postgres to the FromField instances for Float, Double, and Rational. The instance for Scientific is unchanged due to the fact it has no way of representing these special values. Thanks goes to Tom Nielsen for reporting the issue.

Version 0.4.4.1 (2014-09-07)

  • Fixed a rather serious bug that prevented the COPY module from working at all on unix clients since version 0.4.3.0. Thanks goes to Dmitry Dzhus for reporting the issue.

  • Added a regression test for the COPY module to the test suite.

Version 0.4.4.0 (2014-08-26)

  • Added the jsonb type debuting in PostgreSQL 9.4 to the TypeInfo.Static and Builtin tables, and extended the out-of-box json instances to be compatible with the new type. Thanks to Tobias Florek for the patch.

  • Ported some expanded documentation from mysql-simple, and fixed a documentation typo.

Version 0.4.3.0 (2014-07-10)

  • connect and exec now use libpq asynchronously on non-Windows platforms. This means we are using threadWaitRead and threadWaitWrite to have GHC's IO manager schedule non-blocking C calls to libpq, instead of using blocking C calls and having the OS kernel do the scheduling. Among other things, this now means that System.Timeout will work with connect and exec on unix platforms.

  • connect and exec now throw IOErrors instead of SQLErrors in some cases. The intention is for SQLErrors to represent an error returned by the server, and to use IOErrors for errors that originate from client-side code. However, this goal isn't perfectly achieved as of yet.

Version 0.4.2.3 (2014-06-04)

  • This is strictly a documentation release, with no code changes.

  • Fixed several documentation typos, thanks to Chris Allen and remdezx.

  • Expanded the documentation of connectPostgreSQL, including a short overview of common use cases and two new links to the official Postgres documentation about the authentication process.

  • De-emphasized connect and ConnectInfo in favor of connectPostgreSQL.

Version 0.4.2.2 (2014-05-15)

  • Fixed compatibility with scientific-0.3.*, thanks to Adam Bergmark

  • Improved documentation of the FromField module, as well as the fold, foldWithOptions, executeMany, and returning operators.

Version 0.4.2.1 (2014-03-27)

  • Fixed bug in Values syntax generation

  • Improved documentation, including examples of multi-row update, a better example for Values, documenting the inaccuracies in reading floating point numbers from the database, and the IsString instance for QualifiedIdentifier.

Version 0.4.2.0 (2014-03-22)

  • Added ToField and FromField instances for the scientific package

  • Changed the Identifier and QualifiedIdentifier to use Text in order to avoid encoding errors. Technically this requires a major verson bump, but let's pretend 0.4.1.0 didn't happen.

  • Removed non-exhaustive cases in the ToField instance for Values, and tweaked error messages.

Version 0.4.1.0 (2014-03-22)

  • Fixed the parsing of arrays containing null values, courtesy of Francesco Mazzoli

  • Added support for properly escaped identifiers, courtesy of Tobias Florek. See the new Identifier and QualifiedIdentifier types inside Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Types.

  • Added support for parameterized VALUES expressions. This is more general than executeMany and returning. See the Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Types.Values data type.

Version 0.4.0.2 (2014-01-12)

  • Tweaked C preprocessor directive to be more portable

  • Tweaked testsuite for compatibility with aeson-0.7

Version 0.4.0.1 (2013-12-21)

  • Relaxed dependency on aeson to >= 0.6

  • Update the documentation of fromField

Version 0.4.0.0 (2013-12-21)

  • Changed the calling code of fromField so that it always sends a copy of the raw data. This should be a small but significant performance bump for most people most of the time; however it may slow down retrieval of large values not converted directly to ByteString, such as large json, hstore, and array values. See commit 8635f8 for more information.

  • Added the PGArray type. Thanks to Joey Adams for the suggestion

  • Fixed JSON decoding, which was almost entirely broken up until now, due to bugs in the version of aeson currently available on Hackage. Thanks to Amit Levy for the report.

  • Added FromField instances for IORef, MVar, and IOVector.

Version 0.3.10.0 (2013-12-17)

  • Added the queryWith function, courtesy of Leonid Onokhov

  • Added the Default type, for representing postgresql's default values

Version 0.3.9.1 (2013-10-28)

  • Removed dependency on hashable

Version 0.3.9.0 (2013-10-27)

  • Added FromField and ToField instances for the uuid package, courtesy of Bas van Dijk.

  • Added instance FromRow (Maybe a) for most pre-packaged FromRow instances. See issue #64 for some discussion.

  • Added the fromBinary, fromHStoreMap, and fromHStoreList newtype unwrapper functions, courtesy of Bas van Dijk.

Version 0.3.8.0 (2013-10-11)

  • Fixed the example code in FromField, thanks to Adam Bergmark.

  • Added Notification.getBackendPID.

Version 0.3.7.1 (2013-09-12)

  • Relaxed the dependency on bytestring-0.10 back to bytestring-0.9, courtesy of Michael Snoyman

Version 0.3.7.0 (2013-09-11)

  • Added aeson as a dependency.

  • Added ToField and FromField instances for aeson's JSON.Value type, courtesy of Bas van Dijk.

  • Added toJSONField and fromJSONField helper functions for declaring FromField/ToField JSON instances to other Haskell types, courtesy of Bas van Dijk.

  • Added a FromField instance for (), corresponding to postgresql's void type.

  • Added liftConversion and liftRowParser functions to the Internal module, for lifting IO actions into the respective monads.

  • The SqlError predicates available in the Transaction module are now also exported from the Errors module.

  • Various documentation fixes.

Version 0.3.6.0 (2013-08-19)

  • Added the json type to BuiltinTypes and TypeInfo.Static, courtesy of Manuel Gómez.

  • Removed the remaining internal dependencies on BuiltinTypes from FromField. Added the TypeInfo.Macro module as a result.

  • Deprecated the BuiltinTypes module, which will be removed several months from now. Fixed the example code in FromField to reflect this change.

Version 0.3.5.0 (2013-08-09)

  • Added an FromRow instance for Vector, semantically identical to the existing FromRow instance for [], courtesy of Doug Beardsley

  • Reworked the documentation for the Copy module, and tweaked the documentation for the LargeObjects module.

Version 0.3.4.0 (2013-07-23)

  • Added direct support for COPY IN and COPY OUT, without having to use raw postgresql-libpq calls and postgresql-simple's Internal module.

  • Changed getNotification so that it throws a IOError (resource vanished) exception instead of an ErrorCall exception when it fails to fetch the connection's file descriptor from libpq.

Version 0.3.3.2 (2013-06-18)

  • Optimized the definition of mconcat in the Monoid instance for the Query type, courtesy of Joey Adams.

Version 0.3.3.1 (2013-06-06)

  • getNotification now works on Windows, albeit using a one-second polling loop, courtesy of Joey Adams.

Version 0.3.3.0 (2013-05-29)

  • Fixed two issues with the fold operator: fold would raise the wrong exception, and gave the database cursor a static name preventing folds from being nested. Thanks to Joey Adams for his work on these issues.

Version 0.3.2.0 (2013-05-20)

  • Added a savepoint abstraction to the Transaction module, courtesy of Joey Adams

Version 0.3.1.2 (2013-04-29)

  • Fixed hstore parser to not unnecessarily reverse the key-value pairs

Version 0.3.1.1 (2013-04-29)

  • Fixed hstore parser to recognize empty hstores, courtesy of Simon Meier

Version 0.3.1.0 (2013-04-26)

  • Added support for Range and Composite types to the TypeInfo system.

  • Added support for hstore types in the Simple.HStore module.

  • Improved documentation of the FromField module.

Version 0.3.0.1 (2013-03-26)

  • A large chunk of the documentation inside the FromField module had silently failed to render in Haddock.

Version 0.3.0.0 (2013-03-25)

  • Added support for PostgreSQL's Array Types. Thanks to Jason Dusek for his work on this feature.

  • Added a brand new TypeInfo system that gives FromField instances convenient and efficient access to the pg_type metatable. This replaced the older typename cache, and was neccesary to properly support postgres array types. Thanks to Bas van Dijk for his work on this feature.

  • Changed the type of the fromField and fromRow methods to allow a restricted set of IO actions, and stopped pre-calculating the type name of every column. As a result, the type of the typename operator changed from Field -> ByteString to Field -> Conversion ByteString, where Conversion is the new monad that conversion computations run inside.

  • Improved the documentation of the FromField module.

  • Added the Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Errors module, which offers some predicates and functions for interpreting SqlError values, courtesy of Leonid Onokhov.

  • Added a the name of a column and the associated table's object identifier to ResultError exceptions, courtesy of Jeff Chu.

  • Moved most of the more detailed transaction operators into the Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Transaction module.

  • Changed withTransactionModeRetry to accept a predicate of which SqlErrors to retry, due to the fact that serialization errors can sometimes manifest themselves as constraint violations. Thanks to Oliver Charles for pointing this out and implementing the change.

  • Added simple tests of the fold operator, thanks to Joey Adams.

  • Added simple tests of the array conversion code.

  • Added recognition of -- comments in the quasiquoter, which are now stripped out.

Version 0.2.4.1 (2012-08-29)

  • Fixed the documentation of In. Thanks to rekado and dstcruz for pointing this out.

Version 0.2.4.0 (2012-08-23)

  • Added the withTransactionSerializable and withTransactionModeRetry operators, thanks to Joey Adams.

Version 0.2.3.0 (2012-08-09)

  • Added the returning operator, thanks to Jason Dusek

Version 0.2.2.0 (2012-07-26)

  • Added a ToRow instance for the (:.) type, courtesy of Leonid Onokhov

  • Added the type oid for PostgreSQL's uuid type to BuiltinTypes

Version 0.2.1.0 (2012-07-23)

  • Added the FromRow.fieldWith operator, thanks to Leonid Onokhov

  • Added a type synonym for FieldParser

Version 0.2.0.1 (2012-06-21)

  • Fixed a compatibility problem with PostgreSQL 8.1, which does not allow clients to set their own value for standard_conforming_strings. This connection variable is still set to on for PostgreSQL 8.2 and later.

Version 0.2: (2012-06-19)

  • Removed the conversion from timestamp to UTCTime. Some code will be broken even though it will still compile.

  • Renamed a number of data constructors, mostly in the BuiltinTypes module.

  • Exported ToRow/FromRow from Database.PostgreSQL.Simple

Version 0.1.4.3: (2012-06-10)

  • Fix language extensions for compatibility with GHC 7.0

Version 0.1.4.2: (2012-06-10)

  • Fix a wayward dependency on Text.

Version 0.1.4.1: (2012-06-10)

  • Added support for timezones with minutes in their UTC offset.

Version 0.1.4: (2012-06-10)

  • Removed pcre-light dependency, courtesy of Joey Adams.

  • Reworked support for the Time types.

    • The conversion from PostgreSQL's timestamp (without time zone) type to Haskell's UTCTime type is deprecated and will be removed in 0.2.

    • Data.Time.LocalTime now has FromField/ToField instances. It is now the preferred way of dealing with timestamp (without time zone).

    • Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Time is a new module that offers types that accomodate PostgreSQL's infinities.

    • All time-related FromField/ToField instances are now based on new, higher-speed parsers and printers instead of those provided by the time package included in GHC.

  • Planned breaking changes for 0.2:

    • Removing the conversion from timestamp to UTCTime.

    • Renaming some of the type names in BuiltinTypes.

Version 0.1.3: (2012-05-30)

  • Made ZonedTime an instance of FromField and ToField

  • Added getNotificationNonBlocking

Version 0.1.2: (2012-05-09)

  • Switched to libpq-based escaping for bytea types; Binary now works with PostgreSQL 8 courtesy of Joey Adams.

  • postgresql-simple now sets standard_conforming_strings to "on". This per-connection variable is initialized according to the server configuration, which defaults to "off" for PostgreSQL < 9, and "on" for PostgreSQL >= 9. You may need to adjust any string literals in your SQL queries, or set the variable yourself.

  • Exported (:.) from Database.PostgreSQL.Simple

Version 0.1.1: (2012-05-06)

  • Added some preliminary documentation for the Ok, Notification, and LargeObjects modules

  • Implemented the fail method for the monad instance for Ok.

  • Fixed a bug relating to handling the transaction level

Version 0.1: (2012-05-04)

  • Renamed several modules, typeclasses, and functions:

    QueryParams  (renderParams)   -> ToRow   (toRow)
QueryResults (convertResults) -> FromRow (fromRow)
Param  (render)  -> ToField   (toField)
Result (convert) -> FromField (fromField)

  • Added the Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Ok module, a variation of Either SomeException that has an instance for Alternative and also uses a list of exceptions to track the ways it has failed.

  • Changed the return type of fromField and fromRow from Either SomeException to Ok.

  • Thanks to suggestions from Ozgun Ataman, the FromRow typeclass has been massively improved. The result is simpler definitions and better compositionality. Also, user-defined instances need not be to be concerned about forcing the converted results to WHNF. Here is an example comparing the old to the new:

    instance (Result a, Result b) => QueryResults (a,b) where
    convertResults [fa,fb] [va,vb] = do
        !a <- convert fa va
        !b <- convert fb vb
        return (a,b)
    convertResults fs vs  = convertError fs vs 2

instance (FromField a, FromField b) => FromRow (a,b) where
    fromRow = (,) <$> field <*> field

  • Added (:.), a pair that allows one to compose FromRow instances:

    instance (FromRow a, FromRow b) => FromRow (a :. b) where
    fromRow = (:.) <$> fromRow <*> fromRow

  • Moved the contents Field module into the FromField module.

  • Removed the RawResult type.

  • Added DefaultIsolationLevel as a distinct IsolationLevel option and DefaultReadWriteMode as a distinct ReadWriteMode.
