What: bind_params() now recognizes Python datetime (naive -> TIMESTAMP, tz-aware -> TIMESTAMPTZ normalized to UTC), date -> DATE, time -> TIME, uuid.UUID -> UUID, decimal.Decimal -> NUMERIC via BigDecimal (exact), and dict/list/tuple -> JSON/JSONB via a new py_to_json converter, plus bytes/bytearray -> BYTEA. pg_value_to_py() gains a BYTEA -> bytes decode arm. Only bool/int/float/str/None bound natively before; every other type forced str(obj) plus a manual $1::type cast in the SQL text.

Why: passing a datetime or UUID as str + cast was the biggest ergonomics gap vs asyncpg/psycopg and a documented gotcha, even though the sqlx Encode impls (chrono/uuid/bigdecimal/json features) were already compiled in - only the Python-side detection was missing. pyo3's chrono FromPyObject impls and PyDateTime wrappers are compiled out under this crate's abi3-py38 build, so recognition uses GILOnceCell-cached stdlib class objects checked with isinstance (subclass-correct), and datetime components are read through the plain PyAny attribute API. Error paths are loud by design: tz-aware time raises NotSupportedError, a JSON int beyond i64/u64 or a non-JSON-mappable object (e.g. set) raises DataError naming the type - matching the driver's existing no-silent-loss policy.

Usage:
await pool.execute(
"INSERT INTO events (at, uid, price, meta, blob) VALUES ($1,$2,$3,$4,$5)",
[datetime.now(timezone.utc), uuid.uuid4(), Decimal("9.99"),
{"ok": True}, b"\x00payload"])

Tests: tests/native_binding.py (added to the CI live-Postgres step) covers exact round trips for every newly bound type through both Pool and Transaction, non-UTC offset conversion, tuple->array and int-key dict json.dumps compatibility, bytearray copy semantics, empty bytes, native params in WHERE clauses, and the three loud-failure cases.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3ffcb

This change adds direct binding of Python dates, times, UUIDs, decimals, JSON, and binary values, plus decoding of binary columns to bytes. As written, the library source contains a stray line that prevents it from building, the newly added integration test expects an error the binder does not raise, and the prepared-statement reuse guard does not cover reuse across calls, which can bind temporal values with the wrong type. The published documentation and release notes also describe behavior the code does not implement. These should be corrected before merging.

… guard and cache split

What: aware datetimes now read their offset via datetime.utcoffset() on
the datetime itself (not tzinfo.utcoffset(), which takes the datetime as
an argument and would raise TypeError for every aware value); UUIDs are
parsed from their string form instead of an assumed FromPyObject impl;
py_to_json gains a 128-level depth guard (self-referential or deeply
nested containers raise DataError instead of aborting on a Rust stack
overflow); memoryview binds as BYTEA instead of its repr leaking in as
TEXT; prepared statements are marked non-persistent when one SQL text
sees both naive and aware datetimes, whose TIMESTAMP vs TIMESTAMPTZ
wire types would collide in sqlx's text-keyed cache.

Why: the first two were real bugs caught in review (every aware
datetime would fail; the uuid extraction had no backing impl and would
not compile); the guard converts an uncatchable abort into a catchable
exception; the cache split prevents wrong-parameter-OID plans the same
way the existing NULL hazard does.

Usage: unchanged API. Arrays are still available by casting in SQL
($1::int4[] with a stringified list), documented alongside two other
intentional limitations (tz-aware time, Decimal NaN).

Tests: tests/native_binding.py adds DST offsets (fixed UTC+2 and
month-varying offsets, each datetime converted with its own offset),
datetime.min/max round trips, high-precision and trailing-zero Decimal,
a datetime subclass, 100-level nested JSON, memoryview, over-deep and
self-referential JSON raising DataError, and mixed naive/aware
datetimes against one SQL text to exercise the cache split.

Inline comments:
In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 24: Update the changelog entry describing native parameter binding so
DataError for JSON-incompatible types applies only to values processed by the
dict/list/tuple JSON conversion in bind_params; do not claim that a top-level
set raises DataError, since it follows the fallback string binding path.
- Line 25: Remove the BYTEA reference from the earlier unsupported-type example
in the unreleased 2.0.0 changelog entry, keeping the later statement that BYTEA
columns decode to Python bytes.

In `@PostPyro_documentation.md`:
- Line 355: Update the documentation statement about int binding to say that int
values bind as BIGINT only within the signed 64-bit range; remove the claim that
this behavior applies regardless of magnitude.
- Line 312: Update the BYTEA example in the documentation table to use a real
Python bytes value containing the two binary bytes 0x00 and 0x01, such as an
unescaped bytes literal or bytes([0, 1]), rather than a literal backslash
sequence.

In `@src/types.rs`:
- Around line 313-314: Update bind_params to replace the separate has_naive_ts
and has_aware_ts tracking with a has_ambiguous_temporal flag; set it for both
PyDateTimeParam::Timestamp and PyDateTimeParam::Timestamptz branches and for the
datetime.date binding branch, then disable persistence when has_null or
has_ambiguous_temporal is true.
- Line 178: Restore the Rust documentation-comment prefix on the line containing
“timestamptz->timestamp cast under the session timezone.” so it is parsed as
documentation rather than source code, preserving the existing text.

In `@tests/native_binding.py`:
- Around line 270-304: Update bind_params to reject unsupported top-level
objects such as set before they are stringified or bound as String, raising
PostPyro.DataError consistently with the documented contract. Preserve the
existing test expectation in the native binding coverage and avoid changing
supported JSON-mappable values.

What: four issues found while getting this branch to actually build
and pass its own test suite:

- src/types.rs:178 was missing its `///` prefix, dropping out of the
  doc comment and getting parsed as bare code - a syntax error that
  also masked every error below it from the compiler.
- Once that parsed, three more errors surfaced: `pyo3::types::PyMemoryView`
  doesn't exist in pyo3 0.20 (the version this crate pins) - replaced
  with the same GILOnceCell+isinstance approach already used for
  datetime/uuid/Decimal, extracting bytes via memoryview's own
  `tobytes()` method. `PyType::name()` already returns `&str` in this
  pyo3 version, so the `.to_str()` call on it didn't compile. And
  `get_int_attr` returned `i32` for every datetime/date/time component,
  but chrono's constructors take `u32` for everything except year -
  split into `get_int_attr` (year only) and a new `get_uint_attr`.
- BYTEA decoded via `decode_scalar::<Vec<u8>>`, but pyo3's generic
  `IntoPy` for `Vec<u8>` produces a Python `list` of per-byte `int`s,
  not a `bytes` object - added `decode_bytea` using `PyBytes::new`
  directly.
- A bare `set`/`frozenset` parameter isn't `dict`/`list`/`tuple`, so it
  fell through to the `str(obj)` TEXT fallback instead of raising
  DataError as the PR's own test asserts. Binding it as TEXT against a
  SQL text whose placeholder was already prepared as JSONB (from an
  earlier call with a real dict) sent malformed bytes and surfaced as
  Postgres SQLSTATE XX000 ("unsupported jsonb version number") instead
  of a catchable exception. Routed set/frozenset through the existing
  py_to_json rejection path instead.

Verified: cargo check/clippy -D warnings/test --lib all clean, mypy
clean, and the full test suite (including this PR's own
tests/native_binding.py) passes against a live Postgres 16.
What: a list/tuple of a single bool/int/float/str type (None entries
allowed) now binds as a real bool[]/int8[]/float8[]/text[] array
instead of going through the JSON conversion this branch already adds
for dict/list/tuple. A mixed-type or nested list/tuple, and any dict,
still bind as JSON/JSONB exactly as before - array support only kicks
in for the homogeneous-primitive case. Matching decode support added
for those array types (previously any array raised NotSupportedError).

Why: this branch's own docs called out "lists bind as JSON, not
Postgres arrays" as a known, intentional limitation. Asyncpg's default
is the opposite (a plain list binds as an array), so this closes that
gap for the common case while keeping JSON available for anything that
isn't a flat homogeneous sequence.

Tests: tests/native_array_binding.py (added to the CI live-Postgres
step) covers int/float/bool/text arrays via both list and tuple, None
elements inside an array, an empty array, mixed-type and nested lists
falling back to JSON (not TEXT, not an array), and confirms
set/frozenset still raise DataError rather than reaching a JSONB
placeholder as TEXT.
What: one generic get_attr<T>(obj, attr) instead of two near-identical
hand-written functions differing only in return type (i32 for year,
u32 for everything else datetime/date/time expose).

Why: that duplication is exactly what let the i32/u32 mismatch (fixed
two commits back) go unnoticed - get_uint_attr simply didn't exist
yet, so every call site used the i32 version regardless of what chrono
actually wanted. Making the target type part of the call site
(get_attr::<u32>(...)) means a wrong-width call fails to compile
instead of relying on a human keeping two copies in sync.

Verified: cargo check/clippy -D warnings/test --lib clean, and the
full test suite (including tests/native_binding.py and
tests/native_array_binding.py) passes against a live Postgres 16 -
no behavior change, pure refactor.
What: the non-persistent-statement guard for ambiguous temporal binds
only tripped when a single call bound both a naive and an aware
datetime to the same SQL text - it didn't cover the actual common
case (separate calls, one temporal value each), and didn't cover
datetime.date at all despite DATE/TIMESTAMP being different wire
sizes. Replaced the two-flag naive/aware check with one
has_ambiguous_temporal flag set by any DATE/TIMESTAMP/TIMESTAMPTZ
bind, so every such call is non-persistent regardless of what a prior
or later call to the same SQL text bound.

Also fixes three documentation issues:
- CHANGELOG.md claimed BYTEA both "raises NotSupportedError" (an
  older, now-stale bullet) and "decodes to bytes" (this PR's bullet)
  in the same unreleased entry - reworded the older bullet's example
  types to ones still actually unsupported.
- PostPyro_documentation.md's BYTEA example used `b"\\x00\\x01"`,
  which is the four characters `\`, `x`, `0`, `0` (escaped backslash)
  repeated, not two null/SOH bytes - fixed to `b"\x00\x01"`.
- PostPyro_documentation.md claimed int binds as BIGINT "regardless
  of magnitude" - an out-of-range int actually raises an extraction
  error rather than falling back to TEXT; reworded to say so.

Verified: cargo check/clippy -D warnings/test --lib clean, mypy clean,
and the full test suite passes against a live Postgres 16 with no
behavior change to any passing case (the persistence fix only removes
caching in more cases, which can't introduce new failures).
