PostgreSQL Data Types
------------------------

As with all SQLAlchemy dialects, all UPPERCASE types that are known to be
valid with Postgresql are importable from the top level dialect, whether
they originate from :mod:`sqlalchemy.types` or from the local dialect::

    from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import \
        ARRAY, BIGINT, BIT, BOOLEAN, BYTEA, CHAR, CIDR, DATE, \
        DOUBLE_PRECISION, ENUM, FLOAT, INET, INTEGER, INTERVAL, \
        MACADDR, NUMERIC, REAL, SMALLINT, TEXT, TIME, TIMESTAMP, \
        UUID, VARCHAR

Types which are specific to PostgreSQL, or have PostgreSQL-specific 
construction arguments, are as follows:

.. currentmodule:: sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql

.. autoclass:: ARRAY
    :members: __init__
    :show-inheritance:

.. autoclass:: BIT
    :members: __init__
    :show-inheritance:

    :members: __init__
    :show-inheritance:

    :members: __init__
    :show-inheritance:
