Rust Postgres
This project is a native PostgreSQL database driver for the Rust programming language. It functions as a type-safe database mapper and connector that provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces for executing queries against a PostgreSQL backend.
The library implements a type-safe mapping system to convert PostgreSQL data types into Rust types, ensuring consistency during data transfer. It also serves as an encrypted database connector, supporting secure communication protocols to protect data in transit between the application and the database.
The driver covers core database capabilities including the execution of data operations and the management of secure database connections.
Features
- PostgreSQL Database Clients - Acts as a native Rust client implementation providing connection management and SQL execution for PostgreSQL.
- Asynchronous Database Drivers - Provides a non-blocking database driver to improve application performance and concurrency in Rust.
- Data Type Mappings - Translates application-level Rust types into native PostgreSQL column formats.
- PostgreSQL Connectors - Implements a specialized driver for establishing secure, encrypted connections to PostgreSQL instances.
- Database Query Execution - Provides native drivers to execute SQL queries and retrieve or modify stored information.
- Database Wire Protocol Implementations - Implements the PostgreSQL wire protocol to enable direct communication with the database server.
- Rust Database Bindings - Provides native Rust language bindings and drivers for interacting with PostgreSQL databases.
- Type-Safe Data Abstractions - Provides a consistent, type-safe API for mapping PostgreSQL data types into Rust types.
- Type-Safe Database Clients - Ensures compile-time safety by generating strongly-typed interfaces for PostgreSQL data operations.
- Dual-Mode Database Clients - Offers both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces for executing queries against PostgreSQL.
- Database Type Traits - Employs Rust traits to map PostgreSQL data types to native language types for type-safe data transfer.
- Wire Format Serialization - Converts structured data into the PostgreSQL binary wire format for high-performance network transmission.
- Network I/O Multiplexing - Implements non-blocking socket operations to handle concurrent database requests efficiently.
- Protocol State Machines - Uses a formal state machine to manage the connection lifecycle from authentication to query execution.
- Database Connection Encryption - Secures the communication channel between the Rust client and PostgreSQL server using SSL/TLS.
- TLS Session Wrapping - Wraps raw TCP streams with TLS to provide encrypted communication between the client and database.
- Database Drivers - Driver for PostgreSQL databases.
- Database Drivers - Rust database driver.
