This is yet another attempt to create a good interface to PostgreSQL for the D programming language.

It adds only tiny overhead to the original low level library libpq but make convenient use PostgreSQL from D.

Please help us to make documentation better!

Features

Text string arguments support
Binary arguments support (including multi-dimensional arrays)
Both text and binary formats of query result support
Immutable query result for simplify multithreading
Async queries support
Reading of the text query results to native D text types
Representation of binary arguments and binary query results as native D types
Text types
Integer and decimal types
Money type (into money.currency, https://github.com/qznc/d-money)
Some data and time types
JSON type (stored into vibe.data.json.Json)
JSONB type (ditto)
Geometric types
Conversion of values to BSON (into vibe.data.bson.Bson)
Access to PostgreSQL's multidimensional arrays
LISTEN/NOTIFY support
Bulk data upload to table from string data (SQL COPY)

Building

Bindings for libpq can be static or dynamic.

The static bindings are generated by default. Add --config=dynamic to the dub parameters to generate dynamic bindings.

Example

#!/usr/bin/env rdmd

import dpq2;
import std.getopt;
import std.stdio: writeln;
import std.typecons: Nullable;
import vibe.data.bson;

void main(string[] args)
{
    string connInfo;
    getopt(args, "conninfo", &connInfo);

    Connection conn = new Connection(connInfo);

    // Only text query result can be obtained by this call:
    auto answer = conn.exec(
        "SELECT now()::timestamp as current_time, 'abc'::text as field_name, "~
        "123 as field_3, 456.78 as field_4, '{\"JSON field name\": 123.456}'::json"
        );

    writeln( "Text query result by name: ", answer[0]["current_time"].as!PGtext );
    writeln( "Text query result by index: ", answer[0][3].as!PGtext );

    // It is possible to read values of unknown type using BSON:
    auto firstRow = answer[0];
    foreach(cell; rangify(firstRow))
    {
        writeln("bson: ", cell.as!Bson);
    }

    // Binary arguments query with binary result:
    QueryParams p;
    p.sqlCommand = "SELECT "~
        "$1::double precision as double_field, "~
        "$2::text, "~
        "$3::text as null_field, "~
        "array['first', 'second', NULL]::text[] as array_field, "~

    p.argsVariadic(
        -1234.56789012345,
        "first line\nsecond line",
        Nullable!string.init,
        [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
    );

    auto r = conn.execParams(p);
    scope(exit) destroy(r);

    writeln( "0: ", r[0]["double_field"].as!PGdouble_precision );
    writeln( "1: ", r[0][1].as!PGtext );

    writeln( "4.1: ", r[0]["multi_array"].asArray.getValue(1, 2).as!PGinteger );
    writeln( "4.2: ", r[0]["multi_array"].as!(int[][]) );
    writeln( "5.1 Json: ", r[0]["json_value"].as!Json);
    writeln( "5.2 Bson: ", r[0]["json_value"].as!Bson);

    // It is possible to read values of unknown type using BSON:
    for(auto column = 0; column < r.columnCount; column++)
    {
        writeln("column name: '"~r.columnName(column)~"', bson: ", r[0][column].as!Bson);
    }

    // It is possible to upload CSV data ultra-fast:
    conn.exec("CREATE TEMP TABLE test_dpq2_copy (v1 TEXT, v2 INT)");

    // Init the COPY command. This sets the connection in a COPY receive
    // mode until putCopyEnd() is called. Copy CSV data, because it's standard,
    // ultra fast, and readable:
    conn.exec("COPY test_dpq2_copy FROM STDIN WITH (FORMAT csv)");

    // Write 2 lines of CSV, including text that contains the delimiter.
    // Postgresql handles it well:
    string data = "\"This, right here, is a test\",8\nWow! it works,13\n";
    conn.putCopyData(data);

    // Write 2 more lines
    data = "Horray!,3456\nSuper fast!,325\n";
    conn.putCopyData(data);

    // Signal that the COPY is finished. Let Postgresql finalize the command
    // and return any errors with the data.
    conn.putCopyEnd();
}
