identifier.rs

//! Safe SQL identifier handling.
//!
//! Provides functions for safely escaping and quoting SQL identifiers
//! and literals to prevent SQL injection.

/// Escape a SQL identifier (table name, column name, etc.).
///
/// This function wraps the identifier in double quotes and escapes
/// any embedded double quotes by doubling them.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use postrust_sql::escape_ident;
///
/// assert_eq!(escape_ident("users"), "\"users\"");
/// assert_eq!(escape_ident("user\"name"), "\"user\"\"name\"");
/// assert_eq!(escape_ident("My Table"), "\"My Table\"");
/// ```
pub fn escape_ident(name: &str) -> String {
    format!("\"{}\"", name.replace('"', "\"\""))
}

/// Quote a SQL literal string.
///
/// This function wraps the string in single quotes and escapes
/// any embedded single quotes by doubling them. This is only for
/// cases where parameterized queries can't be used (e.g., SET commands).
///
/// # Warning
///
/// Prefer using parameterized queries with `SqlParam` instead of this function
/// whenever possible. This function should only be used for SQL constructs
/// that don't support parameters (like some SET commands).
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use postrust_sql::quote_literal;
///
/// assert_eq!(quote_literal("hello"), "'hello'");
/// assert_eq!(quote_literal("it's"), "'it''s'");
/// ```
