Example:
own set of rules to choose suitable encoders and decoders.
Higher level libraries will most likely not make use of this class, but use their
Query params are type casted based on the MRI internal type of the given value.
PostgreSQL’s pg_type table in PG::BasicTypeMapForQueries.new .
OIDs of supported type casts are not hard-coded in the sources, but are retrieved from the
Simple set of rules for type casting common Ruby types to PostgreSQL.
