Subject: [PATCH 01/19] Add pipeline mode build infrastructure and declarations

Add DBDPG_HAS_PIPELINE compile-time define for PostgreSQL 14+,
trace macros for pipeline libpq functions, pipeline tracking field
in imp_dbh_st, and function declarations for all pipeline methods.

Subject: [PATCH 02/19] Add pg_pipeline_status method and pipeline test file
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Create t/11pipeline.t with PG14+ version detection. Implement
pg_pipeline_status wrapping PQpipelineStatus — returns 0 (off),
1 (on), or 2 (aborted).

Subject: [PATCH 03/19] Add pg_enter_pipeline_mode and pg_exit_pipeline_mode

Wrap PQenterPipelineMode and PQexitPipelineMode as $dbh methods.
Both are idempotent, croak if compiled without PG14+ support.
Tests cover enter, exit, idempotency, and post-pipeline query sanity.

Subject: [PATCH 04/19] Add pg_pipeline_sync and pg_getresult methods
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

pg_pipeline_sync wraps PQpipelineSync — sends a sync point that
delimits an implicit transaction boundary.

pg_getresult wraps PQgetResult — returns a hashref with status,
error, ntuples, nfields, cmdtuples, and rows (for SELECT results),
or undef when no more results are available. This enables manual
pipeline result collection.

Subject: [PATCH 05/19] Add pg_send_query_params with INSERT, SELECT, and error
 tests

Wrap PQsendQueryParams for pipeline query submission with $1/$2
parameter syntax. Tests cover INSERT pipeline with data verification,
SELECT with row data extraction, and PIPELINE_ABORTED error flow
with recovery after sync point.

Subject: [PATCH 06/19] Add pg_send_prepare, pg_send_query_prepared,
 pg_send_flush_request, pg_flush

pg_send_prepare wraps PQsendPrepare for pipelining PREPARE commands.
pg_send_query_prepared wraps PQsendQueryPrepared for executing prepared
statements in pipeline mode. pg_send_flush_request wraps PQsendFlushRequest
to retrieve results without a sync point. pg_flush wraps PQflush for
manual output buffer management.

Tests cover prepared statement pipeline (PREPARE + 2 EXECUTEs), and
flush request to retrieve results without a sync point.

Subject: [PATCH 07/19] Add COPY guards, exit-with-pending tests, multi-cycle
 and large pipeline

Reject pg_putcopydata/pg_putcopyend in pipeline mode with clear croak.
Test exit_pipeline_mode failure with unconsumed results. Add multiple
pipeline sync cycles without exiting. Test 100-INSERT large pipeline
with result draining. Add dbd_pg_test_pipeline to cleanup list.

Subject: [PATCH 08/19] Add pipeline mode POD documentation and fix author
 tests

Document all pipeline methods in Pg.pm POD with examples and return
values. Fix spellcheck (nfields, ntuples, PQpipelineStatus), add
missing TRACE macros in pg_db_getresult, update MANIFEST and
README.dev for t/11pipeline.t.

+=head2 Pipeline Mode
+
+Pipeline mode (PostgreSQL 14+) batches multiple queries into fewer
+network round trips. Instead of waiting for each query's result before sending
+the next, queries are queued and their results collected after a synchronization
+point. This can dramatically reduce latency for workloads that issue many
+independent queries.
+
+Pipeline mode uses the extended query protocol exclusively. COPY operations
+are not supported in pipeline mode.
+
+=head3 B<pg_enter_pipeline_mode>
+
+Enters pipeline mode on the connection. The connection must be idle.
+Entering pipeline mode when already in pipeline mode is a no-op.
+Requires libpq from PostgreSQL 14 or later; croaks if compiled against
+an older version. Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
+
+  $dbh->pg_enter_pipeline_mode();
+
+=head3 B<pg_exit_pipeline_mode>
+
+Exits pipeline mode. Fails if there are unconsumed results; call
+L</pg_getresult> to drain all results before exiting. Exiting when
+not in pipeline mode is a no-op. Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
+
+  $dbh->pg_exit_pipeline_mode();
+
+=head3 B<pg_pipeline_status>
+
+Returns the current pipeline status as an integer:
+
+  0 = not in pipeline mode
+  1 = pipeline mode active
+  2 = pipeline aborted (error occurred, waiting for sync)
+
+  my $status = $dbh->pg_pipeline_status();
+
+=head3 B<pg_pipeline_sync>
+
+Marks a synchronization point in the pipeline. Each sync point delimits
+an implicit transaction: queries between sync points are atomically
+committed or rolled back. Returns 1 on success. Croaks if not in
+pipeline mode.
+
+  $dbh->pg_pipeline_sync();
+
+=head3 B<pg_getresult>
+
+Retrieves the next result from the connection. Returns a hashref or
+C<undef> when no more results are available for the current query.
+
+The hashref contains:
+
+  status    - integer status code
+  error     - error message string, or undef
+  ntuples   - number of rows (for SELECT results)
+  nfields   - number of columns
+  cmdtuples - affected row count string (for DML)
+  rows      - arrayref of arrayrefs (only present for SELECT results)
+
+Common status values: 1 (COMMAND_OK), 2 (TUPLES_OK), 7 (FATAL_ERROR),
+10 (PIPELINE_SYNC), 11 (PIPELINE_ABORTED).
+
+In pipeline mode, results arrive in this pattern for each query:
+
+  result -> undef -> result -> undef -> ... -> PIPELINE_SYNC
+
+Example:
+
+  $dbh->pg_enter_pipeline_mode();
+  $dbh->pg_send_query_params('INSERT INTO t VALUES ($1)', [1]);
+  $dbh->pg_send_query_params('SELECT * FROM t', []);

+  my @rows = @{ $sel->{rows} };
+  $dbh->pg_getresult();              # undef (separator)
+  $dbh->pg_getresult();              # {status => 10} (PIPELINE_SYNC)
+
+  $dbh->pg_exit_pipeline_mode();
+
+=head3 B<pg_send_query_params>
+
+Sends a parameterized query into the pipeline without waiting for results.
+Uses C<$1>, C<$2> placeholder syntax. Returns 1 on success, 0 on error.
+
+  $dbh->pg_send_query_params(
+      'INSERT INTO t(id, name) VALUES ($1, $2)',

+  );
+
+=head3 B<pg_send_prepare>
+
+Sends a PREPARE into the pipeline. The prepared statement can be executed
+with L</pg_send_query_prepared> in the same or a later pipeline.
+Returns 1 on success.
+
+  $dbh->pg_send_prepare('my_insert', 'INSERT INTO t VALUES ($1, $2)');
+
+=head3 B<pg_send_query_prepared>

Subject: [PATCH 09/19] Initialize pipeline field, remove unused XS var, fix
 #ifdef scoping

Initialize imp_dbh->pipeline = 0 in dbd_db_login6 alongside other
fields. Remove unused D_imp_dbh from pg_getresult XS binding. Move
variable declarations inside #ifdef DBDPG_HAS_PIPELINE in send
functions to avoid unused variable warnings on PG < 14 builds.

Subject: [PATCH 13/19] Support ? placeholders in pipeline send methods

Add Perl-side ? to $N conversion in pg_send_query_params so that
DBI-standard ? placeholders work alongside libpq-native $1/$2 syntax.
This enables compatibility with SQL generators like DBIx::Class that
produce ? placeholders exclusively.

The conversion is a simple regex that detects ? when no $N placeholders
are present. The XS functions are renamed to _pg_send_query_params and
_pg_send_query_prepared with Perl wrappers handling the conversion.

Subject: [PATCH 14/19] Replace naive ? regex with proper C-level placeholder
 conversion

Add pg_convert_placeholders() static function in dbdimp.c that
converts DBI ? placeholders to libpq $N style while properly
skipping single-quoted strings, double-quoted identifiers,
dollar-quoted strings, and SQL comments. Follows the same skip
patterns as pg_st_split_statement for correctness.

Remove the Perl-side regex wrapper and revert XS function names
back to pg_send_query_params/pg_send_query_prepared.

Subject: [PATCH 16/19] Add trace context to placeholder converter, fix lint
 and spellcheck

Pass SV *dbh to pg_convert_placeholders so TRACE_PQPARAMETERSTATUS
works correctly. Rename seg_start to segment_start to avoid spellcheck
hit on 'seg'. Add edge case tests for ? inside quoted strings,
comments, dollar-quoting, multiple ? sequencing, and $1 bypass.

Subject: [PATCH 17/19] Remove pipeline mode entry from released 3.20.0 Changes
 section

The 3.20.0 version has already been released, so the pipeline mode
entry doesn't belong there. The entry will be added under the next
version when a release is prepared.

Subject: [PATCH 19/19] Clarify undef separator pattern in pipeline mode POD

Explain that pg_getresult returns undef as a delimiter between each
query's results, and that callers must consume each separator. This
addresses reviewer feedback that the undef calls seemed unclear.

+Each query's results are terminated by an C<undef> return, which acts as a
+boundary marker between queries — similar to how delimiters separate fields
+in a string. Callers must consume each C<undef> separator before the next
+query's result becomes available. In practice, odd-numbered calls to
+C<pg_getresult> return actual results while even-numbered calls return the
+C<undef> delimiters. The final call returns a hashref with status 10
+(PIPELINE_SYNC) to mark the end of the sync group. This protocol mirrors
+libpq's C<PQgetResult> behavior directly and matches how other drivers
+(e.g., Ruby pg) expose pipeline mode.
