+
+
+## Description
+
+Pg is the Ruby interface to the [PostgreSQL RDBMS](http://www.postgresql.org/).
+It works with [PostgreSQL 9.3 and later](http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/).
+
+A small example usage:
+```ruby
+  #!/usr/bin/env ruby
+
+  require 'pg'
+
+  # Output a table of current connections to the DB
+  conn = PG.connect( dbname: 'sales' )
+  conn.exec( "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity" ) do |result|
+    puts "     PID | User             | Query"
+    result.each do |row|
+      puts " %7d | %-16s | %s " %
+        row.values_at('pid', 'usename', 'query')
+    end
+  end
+```

+[![Binary gems](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/actions/workflows/binary-gems.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/actions/workflows/binary-gems.yml)
+[![Build Status Appveyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/gjx5axouf3b1wicp?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ged/ruby-pg-9j8l3)
+
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Ruby 2.5 or newer
+* PostgreSQL 9.3.x or later (with headers, -dev packages, etc).
+
+It usually works with earlier versions of Ruby/PostgreSQL as well, but those are
+not regularly tested.
+
+
+## Versioning
+
+We tag and release gems according to the [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) principle.
+
+As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the [Pessimistic Version Constraint](http://guides.rubygems.org/patterns/#pessimistic-version-constraint) with two digits of precision.
+
+For example:
+
+```ruby
+  spec.add_dependency 'pg', '~> 1.0'
+```
+
+## How To Install
+
+Install via RubyGems:
+
+    gem install pg
+
+You may need to specify the path to the 'pg_config' program installed with
+Postgres:
+
+    gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=<path to pg_config>
+
+If you're installing via Bundler, you can provide compile hints like so:
+
+    bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=<path to pg_config>
+
+See README-OS_X.rdoc for more information about installing under MacOS X, and
+README-Windows.rdoc for Windows build/installation instructions.
+
+There's also [a Google+ group](http://goo.gl/TFy1U) and a
+[mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-pg) if you get stuck, or just
+want to chat about something.
+
+If you want to install as a signed gem, the public certs of the gem signers
+can be found in [the `certs` directory](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/tree/master/certs)
+of the repository.
+
+
+## Type Casts
+
+Pg can optionally type cast result values and query parameters in Ruby or
+native C code. This can speed up data transfers to and from the database,
+because String allocations are reduced and conversions in (slower) Ruby code
+can be omitted.
+
+Very basic type casting can be enabled by:
+```ruby
+    conn.type_map_for_results = PG::BasicTypeMapForResults.new conn
+    # ... this works for result value mapping:
+    conn.exec("select 1, now(), '{2,3}'::int[]").values
+        # => [[1, 2014-09-21 20:51:56 +0200, [2, 3]]]
+
+    conn.type_map_for_queries = PG::BasicTypeMapForQueries.new conn
+    # ... and this for param value mapping:
+    conn.exec_params("SELECT $1::text, $2::text, $3::text", [1, 1.23, [2,3]]).values
+        # => [["1", "1.2300000000000000E+00", "{2,3}"]]
+```
+
+But Pg's type casting is highly customizable. That's why it's divided into
+2 layers:
+
+### Encoders / Decoders (ext/pg_*coder.c, lib/pg/*coder.rb)
+
+This is the lower layer, containing encoding classes that convert Ruby
+objects for transmission to the DBMS and decoding classes to convert
+received data back to Ruby objects. The classes are namespaced according
+to their format and direction in PG::TextEncoder, PG::TextDecoder,
+PG::BinaryEncoder and PG::BinaryDecoder.
+
+It is possible to assign a type OID, format code (text or binary) and
+optionally a name to an encoder or decoder object. It's also possible
+to build composite types by assigning an element encoder/decoder.
+PG::Coder objects can be used to set up a PG::TypeMap or alternatively
+to convert single values to/from their string representation.
+
+The following PostgreSQL column types are supported by ruby-pg (TE = Text Encoder, TD = Text Decoder, BE = Binary Encoder, BD = Binary Decoder):
+
+* Integer: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Integer), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Integer), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::Integer) 💡 No links? Switch to [here](https://deveiate.org/code/pg/README_md.html#label-Type+Casts) 💡
+    * BE: [Int2](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Int2), [Int4](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Int4), [Int8](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Int8)
+* Float: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Float), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Float), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::Float)
+    * BE: [Float4](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Float4), [Float8](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Float8)
+* Numeric: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Numeric), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Numeric)
+* Boolean: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Boolean), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Boolean), [BE](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Boolean), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::Boolean)
+* String: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::String), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::String), [BE](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::String), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::String)
+* Bytea: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Bytea), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Bytea), [BE](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Bytea), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::Bytea)
+* Base64: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::ToBase64), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::FromBase64), [BE](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::FromBase64), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::ToBase64)
+* Timestamp:
+    * TE: [local](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::TimestampWithoutTimeZone), [UTC](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::TimestampUtc), [with-TZ](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::TimestampWithTimeZone)
+    * TD: [local](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::TimestampLocal), [UTC](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::TimestampUtc), [UTC-to-local](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::TimestampUtcToLocal)
+    * BE: [local](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::TimestampLocal), [UTC](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::TimestampUtc)
+    * BD: [local](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::TimestampLocal), [UTC](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::TimestampUtc), [UTC-to-local](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::TimestampUtcToLocal)
+* Date: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Date), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Date), [BE](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::Date), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::Date)
+* JSON and JSONB: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::JSON), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::JSON)
+* Inet: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Inet), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Inet)
+* Array: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Array), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Array)
+* Composite Type (also called "Row" or "Record"): [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Record), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Record)
+
+The following text and binary formats can also be encoded although they are not used as column type:
+
+* COPY input and output data: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::CopyRow), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::CopyRow), [BE](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryEncoder::CopyRow), [BD](rdoc-ref:PG::BinaryDecoder::CopyRow)
+* Literal for insertion into SQL string: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::QuotedLiteral)
+* SQL-Identifier: [TE](rdoc-ref:PG::TextEncoder::Identifier), [TD](rdoc-ref:PG::TextDecoder::Identifier)
+
+### PG::TypeMap and derivations (ext/pg_type_map*.c, lib/pg/type_map*.rb)
+
+A TypeMap defines which value will be converted by which encoder/decoder.
+There are different type map strategies, implemented by several derivations
+of this class. They can be chosen and configured according to the particular
+needs for type casting. The default type map is PG::TypeMapAllStrings.
+
+A type map can be assigned per connection or per query respectively per
+result set. Type maps can also be used for COPY in and out data streaming.
+See PG::Connection#copy_data .
+
+The following base type maps are available:
+
+* PG::TypeMapAllStrings - encodes and decodes all values to and from strings (default)
+* PG::TypeMapByClass - selects encoder based on the class of the value to be sent
+* PG::TypeMapByColumn - selects encoder and decoder by column order
+* PG::TypeMapByOid - selects decoder by PostgreSQL type OID
+* PG::TypeMapInRuby - define a custom type map in ruby
+
+The following type maps are prefilled with type mappings from the PG::BasicTypeRegistry :
+
+* PG::BasicTypeMapForResults - a PG::TypeMapByOid prefilled with decoders for common PostgreSQL column types
+* PG::BasicTypeMapBasedOnResult - a PG::TypeMapByOid prefilled with encoders for common PostgreSQL column types
+* PG::BasicTypeMapForQueries - a PG::TypeMapByClass prefilled with encoders for common Ruby value classes
+
+
+## Thread support
+
+PG is thread safe in such a way that different threads can use different PG::Connection objects concurrently.
+However it is not safe to access any Pg objects simultaneously from more than one thread.
+So make sure to open a new database server connection for every new thread or use a wrapper library like ActiveRecord that manages connections in a thread safe way.
+
+If messages like the following are printed to stderr, you're probably using one connection from several threads:
+
+    message type 0x31 arrived from server while idle
+    message type 0x32 arrived from server while idle
+    message type 0x54 arrived from server while idle
+    message type 0x43 arrived from server while idle
+    message type 0x5a arrived from server while idle
+
+
+## Fiber IO scheduler support
+
+Pg is fully compatible with `Fiber.scheduler` introduced in Ruby-3.0 since pg-1.3.0.
+On Windows support for `Fiber.scheduler` is available on Ruby-3.1 or newer.
+All possibly blocking IO operations are routed through the `Fiber.scheduler` if one is registered for the running thread.
+That is why pg internally uses the asynchronous libpq interface even for synchronous/blocking method calls.
+It also uses Ruby's DNS resolution instead of libpq's builtin functions.
+
+Internally Pg always uses the nonblocking connection mode of libpq.
+It then behaves like running in blocking mode but ensures, that all blocking IO is handled in Ruby through a possibly registered `Fiber.scheduler`.
+When `PG::Connection.setnonblocking(true)` is called then the nonblocking state stays enabled, but the additional handling of blocking states is disabled, so that the calling program has to handle blocking states on its own.
+
+An exception to this rule are the methods for large objects like `PG::Connection#lo_create` and authentication methods using external libraries (like GSSAPI authentication).
+They are not compatible with `Fiber.scheduler`, so that blocking states are not passed to the registered IO scheduler.
+That means the operation will work properly, but IO waiting states can not be used to switch to another Fiber doing IO.
+
+
+## Ractor support
+
+Pg is fully compatible with Ractor introduced in Ruby-3.0 since pg-1.5.0.
+All type en/decoders and type maps are shareable between ractors if they are made frozen by `Ractor.make_shareable`.
+Also frozen PG::Result and PG::Tuple objects can be shared.
+All frozen objects (except PG::Connection) can still be used to do communication with the PostgreSQL server or to read retrieved data.
+
+PG::Connection is not shareable and must be created within each Ractor to establish a dedicated connection.
