# The PostgreSQL connection class. The interface for this class is based on
# {libpq}[http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/libpq.html], the C
# application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL. Some familiarity with libpq
# is recommended, but not necessary.
#
# For example, to send query to the database on the localhost:
#
#    require 'pg'
#    conn = PG::Connection.open(:dbname => 'test')
#    res = conn.exec_params('SELECT $1 AS a, $2 AS b, $3 AS c', [1, 2, nil])
#    # Equivalent to:
#    #  res  = conn.exec('SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b, NULL AS c')
#
# See the PG::Result class for information on working with the results of a query.
#

	#  call-seq:
	#     conn.copy_data( sql ) {|sql_result| ... } -> PG::Result
	#
	# Execute a copy process for transfering data to or from the server.
	#
	# This issues the SQL COPY command via #exec. The response to this
	# (if there is no error in the command) is a PG::Result object that
	# is passed to the block, bearing a status code of PGRES_COPY_OUT or
	# PGRES_COPY_IN (depending on the specified copy direction).
	# The application should then use #put_copy_data or #get_copy_data
	# to receive or transmit data rows and should return from the block
	# when finished.
	#
	# #copy_data returns another PG::Result object when the data transfer
	# is complete. An exception is raised if some problem was encountered,
	# so it isn't required to make use of any of them.
	# At this point further SQL commands can be issued via #exec.
	# (It is not possible to execute other SQL commands using the same
	# connection while the COPY operation is in progress.)
	#
	# This method ensures, that the copy process is properly terminated
	# in case of client side or server side failures. Therefore, in case
	# of blocking mode of operation, #copy_data is preferred to raw calls
	# of #put_copy_data, #get_copy_data and #put_copy_end.
	#
	# Example with CSV input format:
	#   conn.exec "create table my_table (a text,b text,c text,d text,e text)"
	#   conn.copy_data "COPY my_table FROM STDOUT CSV" do
	#     conn.put_copy_data "some,csv,data,to,copy\n"
	#     conn.put_copy_data "more,csv,data,to,copy\n"
	#   end
	# This creates +my_table+ and inserts two rows.
	#
	# Example with CSV output format:
	#   conn.copy_data "COPY my_table TO STDOUT CSV" do
	#     while row=conn.get_copy_data
	#       p row
	#     end
	#   end
	# This prints all rows of +my_table+ to stdout:
	#   "some,csv,data,to,copy\n"
	#   "more,csv,data,to,copy\n"
