Basic usage

These examples contain user defined functions similar to legacy MySQL functions.

Example #1 PostgreSQL user defined functions example

<?php
// This function should be needed, since PostgreSQL connection binds database.
function pg_list_dbs($db)
{
assert(is_resource($db));
$query = '
SELECT
d.datname as "Name",
u.usename as "Owner",
pg_encoding_to_char(d.encoding) as "Encoding"
FROM
pg_database d LEFT JOIN pg_user u ON d.datdba = u.usesysid
ORDER BY 1;
'
;
return
pg_query($db, $query);
}

// List tables.
function pg_list_tables($db)
{
assert(is_resource($db));
$query = "
SELECT
c.relname as \"Name\",
CASE c.relkind WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' WHEN 'i' THEN 'index' WHEN 'S' THEN 'sequence' WHEN 's' THEN 'special' END as \"Type\",
u.usename as \"Owner\"
FROM
pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_user u ON c.relowner = u.usesysid
WHERE
c.relkind IN ('r','v','S','')
AND c.relname !~ '^pg_'
ORDER BY 1;
"
;
return
pg_query($db, $query);
}

// See also pg_meta_data(). It returns field definition as array.
function pg_list_fields($db, $table)
{
assert(is_resource($db));
$query = "
SELECT
a.attname,
format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
a.attnotnull,
a.atthasdef,
a.attnum
FROM
pg_class c,
pg_attribute a
WHERE
c.relname = '"
.$table."'
AND a.attnum > 0 AND a.attrelid = c.oid
ORDER BY a.attnum;
"
;
return
pg_query($db, $query);
}
