NAME

         DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::Pg - A Postgres specific Handle object

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a subclass of DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle that compensates for some
       of the idiosyncrasies of Postgres.

METHODS

   Connect
       Connect takes a hashref and passes it off to SUPER::Connect; Forces the timezone to GMT it
       returns a database handle.

   BuildDSN
       Extend "BuildDNS" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle to force "client_encoding" to be UTF-8,
       so that character strings can be safely passed to, and retrieved from, the database.  See
       "Encoding" in DBD::Pg.

   Insert
       Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an
       array of key-value pairs to be inserted.

       In case of insert failure, returns a Class::ReturnValue object preloaded with error info.

   InsertQueryString
       Postgres sepcific overriding method for "InsertQueryString" in
       DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.

   IdSequenceName TABLE
       Takes a TABLE name and returns the name of the  sequence of the primary key for that
       table.

   BinarySafeBLOBs
       Return undef, as no current version of postgres supports binary-safe blobs

   ApplyLimits STATEMENTREF ROWS_PER_PAGE FIRST_ROW
       takes an SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return ROWS_PER_PAGE starting with
       FIRST_ROW;

   _MakeClauseCaseInsensitive FIELD OPERATOR VALUE
       Takes a field, operator and value. performs the magic necessary to make your database
       treat this clause as case insensitive.

       Returns a FIELD OPERATOR VALUE triple.

   DistinctQuery STATEMENTREF
       takes an incomplete SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return a DISTINCT result set.

   SimpleDateTimeFunctions
       Returns hash reference with specific date time functions of this database for
       "DateTimeFunction" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.

   ConvertTimezoneFunction
       Custom implementation of "ConvertTimezoneFunction" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.

       In Pg time and timestamp data types may be "with time zone" or "without time zone".  So if
       Field argument is timestamp "with time zone" then From argument is not required and is
       useless. Otherwise From argument identifies time zone of the Field argument that is
       "without time zone".

       For consistency with other DBs use timestamp columns without time zones and provide From
       argument.
