PgTypes

Namespace: Ankus

Assembly: Ankus.Runtime.dll

Resolves PostgreSQL type names through the server’s native regtype input function.

public static class PgTypes

Inheritance: object

Methods

GetOid(string)

Resolves PostgreSQL type syntax in the current search path without caching its identity.

public static uint GetOid(string typeName)

Parameters:

typeName — string

Native regtype syntax, including quoted names, aliases, arrays, numeric OIDs, or a dash.

Returns: uint

The native OID. A dash or numeric zero returns zero; numeric input need not identify an existing type.

PostgreSQL ignores type modifiers during this lookup. Missing or malformed named types raise PgException. Null, embedded zero characters and invalid UTF-16 are rejected before entering the backend.

GetOidByManagedName<T>()

Resolves the short CLR metadata name of a statically selected type through PostgreSQL’s regtype parser.

public static uint GetOidByManagedName<T>()

Type parameters:

T

The managed type whose name is supplied verbatim.

Returns: uint

The resolved PostgreSQL OID.

This is a name-based convenience corresponding to pgrx’s rust_regtypein helper, not a generated SQL type mapping. Namespace and declaring-type qualifiers are omitted; generic arity and array suffixes remain in Type.Name. PostgreSQL applies its normal unquoted-name rules. SQL renaming, declared schemas and CLR primitive aliases are not inferred.
