It provides a simplified API with methods like query(), get(), execute(), and executemany() to reduce boilerplate when working with PostgreSQL from Python.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since mid-2021 with no maintenance activity since then. It declares support for Python 3.5 and carries no runtime dependencies, but exhibits high install friction. While it is licensed permissively under Apache v2.0, the lack of active maintenance means it will not receive security updates, compatibility fixes, or support for modern Python or PostgreSQL versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update 2021) with no maintenance activity for over three years. High install friction, unclear Python version support, and lack of security updates make it unsuitable for new projects. Use a maintained alternative like psycopg2 or sqlalchemy instead."},"id":"pgdb","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pgdb","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pgdb.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pgdb/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-07-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pgdb","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"PostgreSQL wrapper"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":269306,"position":8262,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.11"}
