[](#postgresdb----)

This project is a PostgreSQL version of [ThingEngineer](https://github.com/ThingEngineer)'s [MysqliDb Class](https://github.com/ThingEngineer/PHP-MySQLi-Database-Class), that supports the basic functionality and syntax provided by said class, tailored specifically to PostgreSQL.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This class requires PHP 5.4+ or 7+ to work. You can either place the `src/PostgresDb.php` in your project and require/include it, or use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) (strongly recommended)

```
composer require seinopsys/postgresql-database-class:^3.0

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$db = new \SeinopSys\PostgresDb($database_name, $host, $username, $password);
```

For a more in-depth guide see [USAGE.md](USAGE.md)

Upgrading from `2.x`
--------------------

[](#upgrading-from-2x)

1. **Removed deprecated methods**

    These methods were deprecated in version `2.x` and have been removed in `3.x`. Use the renamed variants as indicated below:

    `2.x``3.x``$db->rawQuery(…);``$db->query(…);``$db->rawQuerySingle(…);``$db->querySingle(…);``$db->pdo();``$db->getConnection();`
2. **Namespace change**

    As of `3.x` - to comply fully with the PSR-2 coding standard - the class now resides in the `SeinopSys` namespace. Here's a handy table to show what you need to change and how:

    `2.x``3.x``$db = new PostgresDb(…);``$db = new \SeinopSys\PostgresDb(…);``$db = new \PostgresDb(…);``$db = new \SeinopSys\PostgresDb(…);````
    use \PostgresDb;$db = new PostgresDb(…);
    ```

    ```
    use \SeinopSys\PostgresDb;$db = new PostgresDb(…);
    ```
3. **Internal code structure changes**

    As of `3.x` all `private`/`protected` methods and properties have dropped the `_` prefix, so be sure to update your wrapper class (if you use one).
