= sequel_pg
sequel_pg overwrites the inner loop of the Sequel postgres adapter
row fetching code with a C version. The C version is significantly
faster than the pure ruby version that Sequel uses by default.
== Real world difference
The speed up that sequel_pg gives you depends on what you are
selecting, but it should be noticeable whenever many rows are selected.
Here's an example that shows the difference it makes on a couple of
models:
Track.count # => 202261
Album.count # => 7264
Without sequel_pg:
puts Benchmark.measure{Track.each{}}
# 3.400000 0.290000 3.690000 ( 4.005150)
puts Benchmark.measure{10.times{Album.each{}}}
# 2.180000 0.120000 2.300000 ( 2.479352)
With sequel_pg:
puts Benchmark.measure{Track.each{}}
# 1.660000 0.260000 1.920000 ( 2.287216)
puts Benchmark.measure{10.times{Album.each{}}}
# 0.960000 0.110000 1.070000 ( 1.260913)
sequel_pg also speeds up the following Dataset methods:
* map
* as_hash/to_hash
* to_hash_groups
* select_hash
* select_hash_groups
* select_map
* select_order_map
Additionally, in most cases sequel_pg also speeds up the loading of
model datasets by optimizing model instance creation.
== Streaming
If you are using PostgreSQL 9.2+ on the client, then sequel_pg
should enable streaming support. This allows you to stream returned
rows one at a time, instead of collecting the entire result set in
memory (which is how PostgreSQL works by default). You can check
if streaming is supported by:
Sequel::Postgres.supports_streaming?
If streaming is supported, you can load the streaming support into the
database:
DB.extension(:pg_streaming)
Then you can call the Dataset#stream method to have the dataset use
the streaming support:
DB[:table].stream.each{|row| ...}
If you want to enable streaming for all of a database's datasets, you
can do the following:
DB.stream_all_queries = true
== Installing the gem
gem install sequel_pg
Make sure the pg_config binary is in your PATH so the installation
can find the PostgreSQL shared library and header files. Alternatively,
you can use the POSTGRES_LIB and POSTGRES_INCLUDE environment
variables to specify the shared library and header directories.
== Running the specs
sequel_pg doesn't ship with it's own specs. It's designed to
replace a part of Sequel, so it just uses Sequel's specs.
Specifically, the spec_postgres rake task from Sequel.
== Reporting issues/bugs
sequel_pg uses GitHub Issues for tracking issues/bugs:
http://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel_pg/issues
== Contributing
The source code is on GitHub:
http://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel_pg
To get a copy:
git clone git://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel_pg.git
There are only a few requirements, which you should probably
have before considering use of the library:
* Rake
* Sequel
* pg
* libpq headers and library
== Building
To build the library from a git checkout, after installing the
requirements:
rake build
== Platforms Supported
sequel_pg has been tested on the following:
* ruby 1.9.3
* ruby 2.0
* ruby 2.1
* ruby 2.2
* ruby 2.3
* ruby 2.4
* ruby 2.5
* ruby 2.6
* ruby 2.7
== Known Issues
* You must be using the ISO PostgreSQL date format (which is the
default). Using the SQL, POSTGRESQL, or GERMAN date formats will
result in incorrect date/timestamp handling. In addition to
PostgreSQL defaulting to ISO, Sequel also manually sets the
date format to ISO by default, so unless you are overriding that
setting (via DB.use_iso_date_format = false), you should be OK.
* Adding your own type conversion procs only has an effect if those
types are not handled by default.
* You do not need to require the library, the sequel postgres adapter
will require it automatically. If you are using bundler, you
should add it to your Gemfile like so:
gem 'sequel_pg', :require=>'sequel'
* sequel_pg currently calls functions defined in the pg gem, which
does not work on Windows and does not work in some unix-like
operating systems that disallow undefined functions in shared
libraries. If <tt>RbConfig::CONFIG['LDFLAGS']</tt> contains
<tt>-Wl,--no-undefined</tt>, you'll probably have issues installing
sequel_pg. You should probably fix <tt>RbConfig::CONFIG['LDFLAGS']</tt>
in that case.
