PyPI Now Supports iOS and Android Wheels for Mobile Python Development
PyPI now supports iOS and Android wheels, making it easier for Python developers to distribute mobile packages.
The pg-cursor npm package provides a way to handle large result sets in PostgreSQL by using server-side cursors. This allows you to fetch rows in smaller chunks, which can be more efficient and less memory-intensive than fetching all rows at once.
Creating a Cursor
This feature allows you to create a cursor for a given SQL query. The cursor can then be used to fetch rows in smaller chunks.
const { Client } = require('pg');
const Cursor = require('pg-cursor');
const client = new Client();
await client.connect();
const cursor = client.query(new Cursor('SELECT * FROM large_table'));
Fetching Rows
This feature allows you to fetch a specified number of rows from the cursor. This can be done repeatedly to fetch all rows in manageable chunks.
cursor.read(100, (err, rows) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(rows);
});
Closing the Cursor
This feature allows you to close the cursor when you are done fetching rows. This is important for freeing up resources on the server.
cursor.close((err) => {
if (err) throw err;
client.end();
});
The pg-query-stream package provides a way to stream rows from a PostgreSQL query. It is similar to pg-cursor in that it allows you to handle large result sets efficiently. However, pg-query-stream uses a readable stream interface, which can be more convenient for some use cases.
The pg-promise package is a PostgreSQL interface for Node.js that supports promises. It includes a feature for streaming rows from a query, similar to pg-cursor. However, pg-promise offers a broader range of features for working with PostgreSQL, including transaction management and query formatting.
Use a PostgreSQL result cursor from node with an easy to use API.
$ npm install pg-cursor
note: this depends on either npm install pg
or npm install pg.js
, but you must be using the pure JavaScript client. This will not work with the native bindings.
