Crate prql_compiler

source ·
Expand description

Compiler for PRQL language. Targets SQL and exposes PL and RQ abstract syntax trees.

You probably want to start with compile wrapper function.

For more granular access, refer to this diagram:

           SQL

Common use-cases

  • Compile PRQL queries to SQL at run time.

    let sql = prql_compiler::compile(
        "from albums | select {title, artist_id}",
         &prql_compiler::Options::default().no_format()
    )?;
    assert_eq!(&sql[..35], "SELECT title, artist_id FROM albums");
  • Compile PRQL queries to SQL at build time.

    For inline strings, use the prql-compiler-macros crate; for example:

    let sql: &str = prql_to_sql!("from albums | select {title, artist_id}");

    For compiling whole files (.prql to .sql), call prql-compiler from build.rs. See this example project.

  • Compile, format & debug PRQL from command line.

    $ cargo install --locked prqlc
    $ prqlc compile query.prql
