Struct PgConnectOptions

pub struct PgConnectOptions { /* private fields */ }

Options and flags which can be used to configure a PostgreSQL connection.

A value of PgConnectOptions can be parsed from a connection URL, as described by libpq.

The general form for a connection URL is:

postgresql://[user[:password]@][host][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]

This type also implements FromStr so you can parse it from a string containing a connection URL and then further adjust options if necessary (see example below).

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
sslmode	prefer	Determines whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated. See PgSslMode.
sslrootcert	None	Sets the name of a file containing a list of trusted SSL Certificate Authorities.
statement-cache-capacity	100	The maximum number of prepared statements stored in the cache. Set to 0 to disable.
host	None	Path to the directory containing a PostgreSQL unix domain socket, which will be used instead of TCP if set.
hostaddr	None	Same as host, but only accepts IP addresses.
application-name	None	The name will be displayed in the pg_stat_activity view and included in CSV log entries.
user	result of whoami	PostgreSQL user name to connect as.
password	None	Password to be used if the server demands password authentication.
port	5432	Port number to connect to at the server host, or socket file name extension for Unix-domain connections.
dbname	None	The database name.
options	None	The runtime parameters to send to the server at connection start.

The URL scheme designator can be either postgresql:// or postgres://. Each of the URL parts is optional.

postgresql://
postgresql://localhost
postgresql://localhost:5433
postgresql://localhost/mydb
postgresql://user@localhost
postgresql://user:secret@localhost
postgresql://localhost?dbname=mydb&user=postgres&password=postgres

Example

use sqlx::{Connection, ConnectOptions};
use sqlx::postgres::{PgConnectOptions, PgConnection, PgPool, PgSslMode};

// URL connection string
let conn = PgConnection::connect("postgres://localhost/mydb").await?;

// Manually-constructed options
let conn = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .host("secret-host")
    .port(2525)
    .username("secret-user")
    .password("secret-password")
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::Require)
    .connect()
    .await?;

// Modifying options parsed from a string
let mut opts: PgConnectOptions = "postgres://localhost/mydb".parse()?;

// Change the log verbosity level for queries.
// Information about SQL queries is logged at `DEBUG` level by default.
opts = opts.log_statements(log::LevelFilter::Trace);

let pool = PgPool::connect_with(opts).await?;

Implementations

impl PgConnectOptions

pub fn new() -> PgConnectOptions

Creates a new, default set of options ready for configuration.

By default, this reads the following environment variables and sets their equivalent options.

• PGHOST
• PGPORT
• PGUSER
• PGPASSWORD
• PGDATABASE
• PGSSLROOTCERT
• PGSSLCERT
• PGSSLKEY
• PGSSLMODE
• PGAPPNAME

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new();

pub fn new_without_pgpass() -> PgConnectOptions

pub fn host(self, host: &str) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the name of the host to connect to.

If a host name begins with a slash, it specifies Unix-domain communication rather than TCP/IP communication; the value is the name of the directory in which the socket file is stored.

The default behavior when host is not specified, or is empty, is to connect to a Unix-domain socket

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .host("localhost");

pub fn port(self, port: u16) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the port to connect to at the server host.

The default port for PostgreSQL is 5432.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .port(5432);

pub fn socket(self, path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets a custom path to a directory containing a unix domain socket, switching the connection method from TCP to the corresponding socket.

By default set to None.

pub fn username(self, username: &str) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the username to connect as.

Defaults to be the same as the operating system name of the user running the application.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .username("postgres");

pub fn password(self, password: &str) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the password to use if the server demands password authentication.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .username("root")
    .password("safe-and-secure");

pub fn database(self, database: &str) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the database name. Defaults to be the same as the user name.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .database("postgres");

pub fn ssl_mode(self, mode: PgSslMode) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated with the server.

By default, the SSL mode is Prefer, and the client will first attempt an SSL connection but fallback to a non-SSL connection on failure.

Ignored for Unix domain socket communication.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::Require);

pub fn ssl_root_cert(self, cert: impl AsRef<Path>) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the name of a file containing SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate(s). If the file exists, the server’s certificate will be verified to be signed by one of these authorities.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_root_cert("./ca-certificate.crt");

pub fn ssl_client_cert(self, cert: impl AsRef<Path>) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the name of a file containing SSL client certificate.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_client_cert("./client.crt");

pub fn ssl_client_cert_from_pem( self, cert: impl AsRef<[u8]>, ) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the SSL client certificate as a PEM-encoded byte slice.

This should be an ASCII-encoded blob that starts with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----.

Example

Note: embedding SSL certificates and keys in the binary is not advised. This is for illustration purposes only.

const CERT: &[u8] = b"\
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<Certificate data here.>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----";
    
let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_client_cert_from_pem(CERT);

pub fn ssl_client_key(self, key: impl AsRef<Path>) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the name of a file containing SSL client key.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_client_key("./client.key");

pub fn ssl_client_key_from_pem(self, key: impl AsRef<[u8]>) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the SSL client key as a PEM-encoded byte slice.

This should be an ASCII-encoded blob that starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----.

Example

Note: embedding SSL certificates and keys in the binary is not advised. This is for illustration purposes only.

const KEY: &[u8] = b"\
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
<Private key data here.>
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----";

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_client_key_from_pem(KEY);

pub fn ssl_root_cert_from_pem( self, pem_certificate: Vec<u8>, ) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets PEM encoded trusted SSL Certificate Authorities (CA).

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // Providing a CA certificate with less than VerifyCa is pointless
    .ssl_mode(PgSslMode::VerifyCa)
    .ssl_root_cert_from_pem(vec![]);

pub fn statement_cache_capacity(self, capacity: usize) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the capacity of the connection’s statement cache in a number of stored distinct statements. Caching is handled using LRU, meaning when the amount of queries hits the defined limit, the oldest statement will get dropped.

The default cache capacity is 100 statements.

pub fn application_name(self, application_name: &str) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets the application name. Defaults to None

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .application_name("my-app");

pub fn extra_float_digits( self, extra_float_digits: impl Into<Option<i8>>, ) -> PgConnectOptions

Sets or removes the extra_float_digits connection option.

This changes the default precision of floating-point values returned in text mode (when not using prepared statements such as calling methods of Executor directly).

Historically, Postgres would by default round floating-point values to 6 and 15 digits for float4/REAL (f32) and float8/DOUBLE (f64), respectively, which would mean that the returned value may not be exactly the same as its representation in Postgres.

The nominal range for this value is -15 to 3, where negative values for this option cause floating-points to be rounded to that many fewer digits than normal (-1 causes float4 to be rounded to 5 digits instead of six, or 14 instead of 15 for float8), positive values cause Postgres to emit that many extra digits of precision over default (or simply use maximum precision in Postgres 12 and later), and 0 means keep the default behavior (or the “old” behavior described above as of Postgres 12).

SQLx sets this value to 3 by default, which tells Postgres to return floating-point values at their maximum precision in the hope that the parsed value will be identical to its counterpart in Postgres. This is also the default in Postgres 12 and later anyway.

However, older versions of Postgres and alternative implementations that talk the Postgres protocol may not support this option, or the full range of values.

If you get an error like “unknown option extra_float_digits” when connecting, try setting this to None or consult the manual of your database for the allowed range of values.

For more information, see:

• Postgres manual, 20.11.2: Client Connection Defaults; Locale and Formatting
• Postgres manual, 8.1.3: Numeric Types; Floating-point Types

Examples

let mut options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // for Redshift and Postgres 10
    .extra_float_digits(2);

let mut options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    // don't send the option at all (Postgres 9 and older)
    .extra_float_digits(None);

pub fn options<K, V, I>(self, options: I) -> PgConnectOptions

where K: Display, V: Display, I: IntoIterator<Item = (K, V)>,

Set additional startup options for the connection as a list of key-value pairs.

Example

let options = PgConnectOptions::new()
    .options([("geqo", "off"), ("statement_timeout", "5min")]);
