# The PostgreSQL connection class. The interface for this class is based on
# {libpq}[http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/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.
#
# Many methods of this class have three variants kind of:
# 1. #exec - the base method which is an alias to #async_exec .
#    This is the method that should be used in general.
# 2. #async_exec - the async aware version of the method, implemented by libpq's async API.
# 3. #sync_exec - the method version that is implemented by blocking function(s) of libpq.
#
# Sync and async version of the method can be switched by Connection.async_api= , however it is not recommended to change the default.

	#
	# Execute a copy process for transferring 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.
	#
	# _coder_ can be a PG::Coder derivation
	# (typically PG::TextEncoder::CopyRow or PG::TextDecoder::CopyRow).
	# This enables encoding of data fields given to #put_copy_data
	# or decoding of fields received by #get_copy_data.
	#
	# Example with CSV input format:
	#   conn.exec "create table my_table (a text,b text,c text,d text)"
	#   conn.copy_data "COPY my_table FROM STDIN CSV" do
	#     conn.put_copy_data "some,data,to,copy\n"
	#     conn.put_copy_data "more,data,to,copy\n"
	#   end
	# This creates +my_table+ and inserts two CSV rows.
	#
	# The same with text format encoder PG::TextEncoder::CopyRow
	# and Array input:
	#   enco = PG::TextEncoder::CopyRow.new
	#   conn.copy_data "COPY my_table FROM STDIN", enco do
	#     conn.put_copy_data ['some', 'data', 'to', 'copy']
	#     conn.put_copy_data ['more', 'data', 'to', 'copy']
	#   end
	#
	# 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,data,to,copy\n"
	#   "more,data,to,copy\n"
	#
	# The same with text format decoder PG::TextDecoder::CopyRow
	# and Array output:
	#   deco = PG::TextDecoder::CopyRow.new
	#   conn.copy_data "COPY my_table TO STDOUT", deco do
	#     while row=conn.get_copy_data
	#       p row

		# [+tty+]

		# [+user+]

		# [+password+]
		#   login password

		#
		#   # Connect using all defaults
		#   PG::Connection.new
		#
		#   # As a Hash
