Crate mimerrust 

This create implements an API for interacting with Mimer SQL databases from Rust.

The Mimer SQL Rust API is built as a wrapper around the Mimer C API. It consists of two crates:

1. mimerrust: Implements the Mimer SQL Rust API. It uses the wrappers from mimerrust-sys to create a high level, safe interface.
2. mimerrust-sys: Handles low-level wrapping of the C library into Rust-compatible concepts. It is not intended for direct use, but rather as an intermediary wrapping step. To reduce build time and avoid requiring LLVM and Clang on Windows a pre-generated binding is used by default. To generate and use a new binding, pass the --features run_bindgen flag when building.

Example usage:

use mimerrust::{Connection, ToSql, CursorMode};
 
fn main() {
    print!("Connecting to database\n");
    let mut conn =
        Connection::open("", "RUSTUSER", "RUSTPASSWORD").unwrap_or_else(|ec| panic!("{}", ec));
 
    conn.execute_statement("DROP TABLE test_table").ok();
    println!("Creating table");
    conn.execute_statement("CREATE TABLE test_table (id INT primary key, text NVARCHAR(30))")
        .expect("Error creating table");
    println!("Inserting rows");
    let insert_stmt = conn.prepare("INSERT INTO test_table (id, text) VALUES(:id, :text)", 
        CursorMode::Forward).expect("Error preparing statement");
 
    let mut text = "Hello";
    let mut id = 1;
    let params: &[&dyn ToSql] = &[&id,&text];
    insert_stmt.execute_bind(params).expect("Error inserting first row"); 
 
    text = "World!";
    id = 2;
    let params: &[&dyn ToSql] = &[&id,&text];
    insert_stmt.execute_bind(params).expect("Error inserting second row");  
 
    let stmt = conn
        .prepare("SELECT * from test_table", CursorMode::Forward)
        .unwrap();
    let mut cursor = stmt.open_cursor().unwrap();
    println!("Fetching all rows");
    while let Some(row) = cursor.next_row().unwrap() {
        let id: i32 = row.get(1).unwrap().unwrap();
        let text: String = row.get(2).unwrap().unwrap();
        println!("id: {}, text: {}", id, text);
    }
}

All examples and tests uses an ident called RUSTUSER with the password RUSTPASSWORD. To create the user in Mimer SQL, run bsql or DbVisualizer as SYSADM, or an other ident with proper privileges, and create the ident as follows:

create ident RUSTUSER as user using 'RUSTPASSWORD';
grant databank to RUSTUSER;

To run the examples you need a databank as well. Log into Mimer SQL using bsql or DbVisualizer as RUSTUSER and run:

create datank rustdb

The tests create the databanks needed.

Requirements

This API requires the Mimer SQL C API to be installed on the system. The API is tested with Mimer SQL 11.0.8D. Furthermore, bindings to the Mimer SQL C API are generated at compile time using bindgen, which requires clang to be installed on the system. The bindings are not re-built automatically, instead a pre-generated binding is used. This is to avoid requirements on having Clang on for example Windows. To generate new bindings, go into the mimerrust-bindings and run cargo build.

Re-exports

pub use types::*;

Modules

types

Handles datatypes and their conversions between Rust and Mimer SQL.

Structs

Connection

Represents a connection to a MimerSQL database.

Cursor

An iterator for result sets from MimerSQL databases.

MimerError

Represents an error occurring during communication with a MimerSQL database.

Row

Represents a row in a result set.

Statement

A prepared statement.

Transaction

Represents a transaction on a database connection. A Transaction will roll back by default if the object is dropped. Use the commit method to commit the changes made in the transaction.
