         Jifty::DBI::Handle::Pg - A Postgres specific Handle object

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a subclass of Jifty::DBI::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,
       returns a database handle.

   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

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

       BYTEA types.

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

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