-
-
-== Description
-
-Pg is the Ruby interface to the {PostgreSQL RDBMS}[http://www.postgresql.org/].
-
-It works with {PostgreSQL 9.2 and later}[http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/].
-
-A small example usage:
-
-  #!/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('procpid', 'usename', 'current_query')
-    end
-  end
-
-== Build Status

-
-
-== Requirements
-
-* Ruby 2.2 or newer
-* PostgreSQL 9.2.x or later (with headers, -dev packages, etc).
-
-It usually work 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:
-
-  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://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/src/tip/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:
-
-    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.
-
-=== 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 .
